They don't want to pay employees.

And that is a deeply deeply undemocratic thing to say.

You're taking away all agency from the voters. In what you're saying, voters are completely unable to understand anything and are led by elites against their own will. This is how Putin, Hitler, Xi think about their subjects.

There is manipulation, without any doubt, but every single voter in a free country, like the US, has the ability to see through that. They have all the information they need, they have the critical thinking abilities they need, but they choose not to use them.

Listen to interviews with Trumpets. They know, he's lying. It's clear to them. But they like the sentiment of his lies and that's good enough for them. They are to blame. And whoever chose not to vote against open fascism is also to blame.

I'm German, and the "We didn't know of anything!!!" quote of the willfully ignorant Germans 80 years ago is infamous here.

I have no skin in this game, but if the two options are that clear, you absolutely can blame the voters.

At the end of the day, this rhetoric is trying to find absolution by delegating responsibility to a higher authority. Not we, the voters, are wrong, it's the party elites, that forced us to vote fascism into power because the other offer wasn't good enough. It's not our fault, it's theirs.

No, you don't get a pass. Germany didn't get a pass, either. And rightly so.

And surprisingly about how difficult it is to kill him before the election.

An incel with more acne than accuracy almost killed him. A professional team might have gotten it done.

Obviously I don't know the business in question, but it's quite possible that the company has a bunch of longer running contracts that would become a loss if the inputs become much more expensive.

Of course, businesses will use the opportunity to charge more, but sudden price hikes are a very real problem.

I find it extremely frustrating how weirdly wrong-density much documentation is. It's extremely detailed in all the wrong places and often lacks examples for common use cases.

I learned a while ago that news articles are supposed to have increasing levels of detail from top to bottom. Each paragraph adds a bit more context, but the general picture should be contained in the first one. Hardly any documentation follows that pattern.

No, it's a desert planet that's legally distinct from tatooine, but still very obviously inspired by it.

Just like starkiller base was definitely not a death star and this weird mining site in 8 was definitely not inspired by hoth, it's salt and not snow afterall!!
