There's a third and fourth group. People who get invited to these parties and people who are never invited to parties

Drugs are a lot more geopolitical than people realize. Who brings drugs in and why drugs are coming into your country are important questions that nations have to ask.

They made a mockery of non-profit status and displayed how weak government enforcement of corporations are.

I think "woke" is the wrong word here.

The internet wouldn't have become as big as it is, if it wasn't for the internet's open source models.

The internet has been taken over by Capitalist and have ruined the internet, in my opinion.

This is a huge problem in the US. Tax-payers are subsidizing a lot of medical advances, then the US government gives it to the private sector, privatizing whatever medical advances were paid by tax-dollars.

Socialism seems to create a lot of markets for the Capitalist private sector.

Are regular people going to be accused of hacking if they do something similar to what NYT did? This is a bad precedent to set moving forward.
