I suggest being the one-man IT department in a non-IT org. E.g. a university department, a smaller school, a small-time manufacturer or retailer, etc. Automating your job on one hand and managing expectations on the other should set you

Trump’s China tariffs were supposed to increase wages. Trump also pushed down prescription prices, and I believe some sort of price transparency in healthcare. Not sure how well it worked tho. As to worker rights - both sides are equally ha

I think you have to start citing your sources. My sources suggest that Cromwell was hugely popular and pretty much not allowed to leave his post, which is why the restoration did not happen until after his death. He was even pushed to accep

The task at hand seems to be a good fit for closed-loop control automation. Much like cruise control - observe output, correct input. Perhaps they don't have the time for enough input/output iterations to dial in the throw? It&#x2

The French revolution was effected by a relatively small mob of Parisians, not at all representative of the rural France that was the majority. Still, minority or not, the heads rolled.

Well, you own some means of production, but not all of them. The copyright, the data centers, etc. But most importantly you don't own the distribution channels. In the days of Marx if you made the goods you were guaranteed to sell them
