Apple and Microsoft would simply never allow that to happen. End of story. The Open Source "community" is hell-bent on finding technical solutions for political problems, and this is the best among countless examples of why it's a hopeless mission from the outset.

Great solution if you're looking to spend hours installing CS6 built for a 1280x720 display, or CS18 (high DPI support) with very buggy operation and constant crashes. I've been there, done that.

Behold our priorities as a society
Comment · 2 years ago
In a capitalist society, class is the predominant relationship one has with their society.

I know this is pretty obvious and may not entirely answer your question, but many people find it very difficult to swallow this reality these days and I think it's worth reminding.

This is almost entirely just plain false.

Historically mere "movements" don't accomplish anything. You need actual strategy. Not just attention wrangling. The fact that you haven't shared a strategy shows me you're ineffective at anything except wasting peoples' time.

>There are lots of business ventures that are illegal or heavily regulated.

So????

The use of proportions rather than actual totals means the number of recruits could have dropped by that same 12.4% in every category, in which case the focus on race is completely meaningless.

>Another article is more explicit about exactly who isn’t joining the military anymore.

The article doesn't confirm whether the total of any other groups is dropping, but it can be inferred from the numbers given that recruiting is very low across the board. It's worth having a racial remark in the title for clicks alone.

>the little things do add up

This is the first thing that anyone who has actually studied historical societal change would have to disagree with.

In fact, history almost completely shows that organizing one another and acting strategically in unison is the only hope, because there is effectively zero evidence of the "little things" just happening to add up.

In conclusion, you are absolutely full of it. You either don't know you're wrong because you're lying about having done the research, or you did the research and you are intentionally lying about the results.

Is there a contest for the most stuffy and uncomfortable product reveal?

Capitalism is literally defined by the ability to exercise capital to accumulate more of it, which is literally the only way for a monopoly to exist. By definition, capitalism has nothing to do with so-called "free markets".
