I'm not saying it's bad to have both . It's bad to have identity politics without first having human rights. Human rights are the foundation on which to build an equal society. Attempting to achieve equality before a even a

The fed can do what they are doing because the dollar has safe haven status. When things get bad globally, capital flows into the dollar not out of it. If any other country (except perhaps Japan) tried to do what the fed does they would pro

Apple prevents people who paid $10000s for their top-of-the-line computer, from using an equally top-of-the-line GPU from Nvidia, because ~10 years ago some Nvidia laptop GPUs had problems and Apple is obsessive about punishing them. Apple
