The thing is that capitalism[1] can work reasonably well for almost everyone if capitalists weren't so shortsighted (and petty). Many Nordic countries get this right and their populations are the better for it.

In my case I think I avoid HN video links because I know in advance that they will ask me to commit an exact amount of time to it without knowing whether it will be worth it in the end. With text on the other hand, I can easily start to rea

I love the ncase but they sure are expensive. The Cougar QBX is a nice and cheaper alternative. It doesn't come in silver though.
