German politics weren't too important to most of the world in 1932, but they were critically important to a large part of it by 1940. The rise of fascism anywhere should be opposed by good people everywhere.

That has nothing to do with the fact that the hiring market for software engineers sucks right now.

No, I've never been a capitalist. I don't make money on speculation or other passive deployment of capital. I work for my money. I am no longer in business as a solo operative, but I was never interested in hiring other people to
