Similarly, areas surrounding DC in Maryland and Virginia should be labeled DMV, not Chesapeake.

You're right, it is much worse. The goal is to breed them as quickly as possible, use them for their wool while they are useful for it, and kill them much younger than their lifespan for their meat. I think it would be a kindess to slowly stop that torturous cycle.

This is an anti-historical take. You can disagree with ML methods or ideology while still acknowledging where they have had material success in bringing about wins for the working class.

Ignoring the news frenzy for a second, Boeing's engineering-first culture has steadily degraded since their merger with McDonnell Douglas in the late 90s. Given that a lot of planes from that era are still in service, it takes time to design and build planes, and it took time for Boeing's culture to shift, I think we're only just now seeing the major impacts from cost cutting and ignoring safety concerns. There is still a ton of regulation in the commercial flight sector that is steadily degrading, but I think that has also played a part in maintaining safety up until recently. So expect stories like this to continue to happen unless there is a major effort to further regulate Boeing (lol).

He pulled this type of shit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeju_uprising.

We're splitting hairs here but he was a US puppet that happily killed his opposition.

It's perfectly fine to use "whataboutism" to counter tired talking points that do nothing to advance actual discourse. Like yea, people died in capitalist countries too, how is that in any way advancing a discussion about these differing economic systems. Go a step further, ask why these things happened in communist countries. Think about how they differ from similar situations in a capitalist country. Engage with the ideas and then we can have honest discourse.

Between Libgen and SciHub I'm interested in hearing an example of what you can't find out there.
