The casscading part is what makes CSS devilish, its a bunch of hiddens tate written in a language people dont master (becauses its not really worth it to vs all the other stuff to learn) and this hidden state creates all sorts of headaches.

I think it will be this for electronics, and hopefully telsa will be able to provide this for cars. If I cant own it fully, atleast make the subscription service completely hassle free and worth it.

What I find sad is that there is a bunch of low hanging investments that improve the "luck" probabilities for all people. Well designed built environments, access to power/refridgeration/medicine, access to information.

The Biden administration has been in power for a month. I think you are being a bit hyperbolic about its failure and lack of criticism by msnbc. Which campaign promises have been rolled back if I can ask?
