Conceptually it is still a terrible idea to have multiple consumers (By multiple consumers I mean things doing different actions on a message, not concurrent consumers doing the same action) on a single queue. Why overload a queue like that

I don't think any "people" are claiming it will ALWAYS go your way, and if they are they are wrong. The point is at least you have a shot at some sort of remediation. You can appeal to courts and work it out. Sometimes there

This is a "fault" of almost everyone living in Europe and USA at the moment. Europe for a while neglected military spending because the great evil Soviet Union was gone. In the USA we got to the mode where Russia isn't exactl

This could be true, but it could also be true that there is something else at play that we are unaware of. In science there have been cases of things that did not fit the model, but the model was not wrong. One example is the precession of
