Ever done any work for a US health insurance company? You won't find many conservatives. You will find many "free lunch" advocates who spend half their day lobbying to protect their job and their industry. They are playing politics with your healthcare costs. How is that for nuance?
It's great and even more reason to get rid of these useless corporations. The conservative thing to me was the basic take "ummm actually it's not free" which lacks any actual thought. It doesn't further the discussion and perpetuates the suffering all to... own the libs? I'm not sure.
The "libs" who lobbied for so-called universal healthcare? They further empowered these corporations and now they want to get rid of them. The libs owned themselves on this topic, obviously.
The ACA was substantially watered down to get (conservative!) Lieberman's deciding vote in the Senate. "The libs", as always, were told they'd have to wait later for their stuff.
Could be the other way around. Failed leadership in the ruling class is promoting culture war and strife as a scapegoat. Quite easy to see the rise of race hate correlated with bank bailouts and occupy movement. Immigration won't fix the inequality problem, but could definitely fuel "partisanship"
I think when certain very talented creators get "demonetized" and they have a bad experience with customer service trying to understand why, and maybe suspect the criteria changed without they're knowing, it's relatively understandable to over-react and say their hard work was censored, even if knowing it doesn't meet the legal standard. I wouldn't let it bother you so much.
Fascinating. So do you think government is essentially doing a great job at protecting freedom and maintaining decentralized power structures? Or are they too busy building company towns?
Are you suggesting that our universities are teaching short-term thinking cowardice and greed? Or is it just certain programs? For a while I thought it was "STEM" programs that alluded most to easy-money themes in academia, with business schools teaching more of the long view and social responsibility of financing then managing a business.
Reminded me also of the Taguchi loss function. To paraphrase, quality is optimized when you manage the variation of a measurement in relation to its target value, instead of emphasizing the acceptable limits. It was seen as an improvement over the "goalpost" approach. And while you can say it really applies in manufacturing context, I think it should be considered more broadly for goal-oriented measurement and engineering in general.
Fredrick Taylor was the one who developed so-called management science and obsessive measurement, paving the way for Deming to popularize a more balanced or holistic approach, ie. akin to actual science.
Try to understand that the economy is structured on a system of laws that facilitate the provision of jobs and goods/services by companies, while minimizing harm and maximizing fairness. Are you anti-regulation in general, or saying something more like Facebook is a special case that for some strange reason should keep hiding from legal scrutiny?
I've addressed how I think it should be handled elsewhere in the thread. I'm just going to point out here that condescension — "Try to understand [that my model of the world is the correct one]" — doesn't help gain an audience for your opinion.
Sorry, just asking questions in a manner I thought was appropriate following your response with the words 'disastrous' and 'emphatic'. Honestly it's unclear how or whether you think this brigading issue should be handled. I see that you think Facebook's actions here should be "opposed as strongly as possible" but excluding use of our legal system(?)
No. I am pointing out that based on the info provided and your own bias you might find the clients or the brigading groups that were talked about above to be either in the right or in the wrong. The way that comment was worded, it’s impossible to tell who the real victims are.
Also I think it can be argued that democracy and mob mentality are pretty damn related :)
> you might find the clients or the brigading groups that were talked about above to be either in the right or in the wrong
This is implied in the fact that no details were given, so I just find it incredibly strange that anyone would consider it an "astute comment". I suppose you must be referencing others in the thread who think they (or Facebook) can simply request a few details and efficiently judge correctly right or wrong.
