Because it's much easier to get-by faking it as a software engineer compared to a lawyer or doctor. We've all have had these colleagues - and I've seen them jumping to other companies easily.

I never said that there is a link between career politicians and unproductive societies. I said that whenever there is a productive society, there will be career politicians leeching on it.

I’m Greek so I’m using the actual meaning of the word, not the one produced by Western hegemony.

You sure typed a lot of words without actually saying anything. Can you stop and think for a minute? Selling puts and profiting from TSLA is not a vindication of your view that the company is trash, the stock is so volatile that you would b

You forgot all the ridicule endured for all the previous failed attempts and people how "stupid" he is for not listening to his engineers that the chopstick landing is not feasible.

Selling puts is a volatility play and doesn't mean anything. Putting your money were your mouth is would be shorting the stock, good luck with that.

He is not imposing anything on anyone. He has the same right to express his opinions as anybody else has, and his platform clearly allows everyone else to do the same - in contrast with what the previous executives of Twitter did. That soun

Nobody cares about being branded far-left. It's not a smear. Afterall, "Antifa is just an idea", said the centrist ;)

Because if you don't want to vote for them you are immediately branded far-right and a racist, and Europe will fall into a slippery-slope of re-Nazifying itself.

Can you elaborate how not wanting you to pirate the games they spent tons of money and labor in making is "rent-seeking" and a restriction on free speech? It seems like a stretch. "This just happens to be a transparently egre
