If you worked for the Department of Defense having Windows Vista based computers at their oldest you would be a heroic figure in their IT. They earned their bad reputation all on their own. Calling it sclerotic is an insult to those with scoliosis, especially as obstinance and incompetence didn't cause their disease.
The zeal to nationalize has gone from."theorerical improvement" to dogma to outright mental sickness. At this point just accept that partnerships where entities specialize in what they are good it can exist already instead of going full paranoid improbable worst case scenario. Amazon would not do well if they tried to occupy a small nation-state. It would be trivial to the US government. (Whether it would be wise for either to do is another question.)
The treatment of "nationalizing being a bad idea" as a threat is a black and white insanity like equating being "unable to be murder someone without consequences" equates to the target automatically becoming the immortal god king eternal tyrant over all.
- ragona 6y agoThe bit of this that I think is easy to overlook is that if this is the status quo indefinitely I assume this is a very long term problem. Amazon is a baby, it's a new-ish company in the grand scheme of things. It's a huge, huge baby, it has accumulated power incredibly quickly. Where is it gonna be in 200 years? Will the federal government still be more powerful? No one is saying nationalize Amazon tomorrow. But we haven't even managed to give our citizens good internet service yet, we're way behind here, and we do not appear to be catching up.
