I mean, they won't just happily do _all_ of that. You're exaggerating a bit and using extreme cases as if they were the norm. In particular you may say this with a straight face only if you're unaware of how this actually is

I have to say this initially rings to me like a conspiracy theory, but there's lots of info you shared that I wasn't aware of and is quite interesting. I personally would not be against an interest group pushing over their lifetim

People want EV transportation because the world population is at risk. So they cut some slack to Tesla. Tesla makes compelling vehicles even if flawed. It's ok because it's a step in the right direction. Nothing wrong with that, o

FPTP caused the Liberal party to be in power in Canada for most governments until they were ejected from politics for gross corruption. And since then they've been put in the corner for a bit, and slowly are coming back to being the pr

To be fair, there's limited shipbuilding capacity in the world, with a few dozen very large shipyards capable of producing a few dozens ships a year. And they're busy as is. Also given the shear scale of those yards, it's not

If the problems are "this link is saturated" or "we're out of compute capacity" and other run of the mill stuff, I think getting access, being able to measure, identify and effect change is indeed the tough part. Th

Basic firefighting often revolves around the same set of problems. It's not that naive. Tell me I'm wrong? I work with systems like this. Realistically most problems that show up by themselves (ie not caused by bad code) often hav

At the end of the day, most software eats the same stuff and the levers are often rudimentary and grokable, especially if you focus on a specific area. I don't think someone could meaningfully implement a new feature in a night, but co

And local government officials run on platforms of vowing not to let police enforce these sort of actions. Not allowed to enforce speeding fines, parking fines, lack of license plate fine, public nuisance fines. I'm not sure what the e
