And the executives and management... who did this to Boeing, what will happen them while the rest are having their lives thrown into turmoil?

Nothing, because after all, they were simply executing the mission of the shareholders (who are blameless in all of this). Maximize profit, minimize cost.

This is simply more of that same mission. They hurt the company, we pay with our livelihood.

Let me guess, it's the usual war between anyone who thinks of others as a priority versus anyone who think of themselves first?

Yes definitely. Anything that spreads knowledge should be hugely supported.

Be very suspicious of anyone advocating for less support of knowledge sharing.

I'm really enjoying Bluesky strangely enough, not normally my thing.

Get offline, and simplify. Start doing things that are good for you. There is yet joy to come.

It's the investors and shareholders who want their money multiplied, they are to blame. When it comes time to take heads, remember the shareholders and (their hatchet man) the CEO.

Do it. Promises from super powers are worthless. Only power itself matters. And all the other countries are aware of it too now.

What are your biggest worries and your biggest joys?

It's not the Blizzard that used to make games we loved anymore. It's just a name now, and behind that a corporation focused on maximum profit exclusively.

Yeah. Most people are probably experiencing the shock of what they thought the American people were vs what they are. It's hard to understand and accept.

As foreigners, our views are heavily affected by things like Hollywood, celebrity and visibility to the "best of America". But the bulk of America is not that, at all. So the veneer is torn away and it's jarring to most people.

The only positive I see in all this is that we get to watch the US get what they voted for. Pain can be a teacher, but I doubt they can learn from it. Any and all agony from this will just be the other parties fault, always. Too much venom and malice in the politics and too little earnest substance.

Most Americans like and support Trump. That IS America.

Trump and team don't need to win the election. They just need to make it tainted with enough irregularities that it forms the basis for the entire thing to be called into question. Even if that evidence is created by them. And this time they're more prepared for that outcome. They've had years to work on his scenario.

The court cases and investigations will go on for years.

Doesn't need to win a vote at all.

 

People keep telling me that dating today is a war zone, facing all kinds of challenges.

Dating apps don't seem to be directly trying to help solve the problem as much as generate revenue. In fact, they are very directly motivated to not make great long term matches.

Some people seem think that just getting out there and hoping for the best is the answer. Maybe that's true, but it's still very random. I was wondering about a hypothetical alternative:

What if you could go to an agency of some kind get rated through a thorough evaluation process? Would that be helpful ? It's not perfect, and many things are hard to measure. But maybe it's a less random starting point and can escape the exclusively money driven approach of dating apps.
