I’ve only ever invoked it against neo-neo-Nazis and conspiracy theorists demanding to be taken seriously.

Would you call that dishonest?

Reforming policing and law enforcement is not a stupid idea, but the “Defund the police” messaging shuts down thoughtful conversation and alienates allies.

One man’s DISC is another’s memetic immune system.

Communicating new ideas is hard, and the burden is carried exclusively by the originator of the idea.

Do you have any sources to back up this claim or are you just issuing edicts?

He wouldn’t be the first academic in history to get the facts right and the delivery wrong.

Mazda is ditching touchscreens, and I doubt they’ll be the last (if they survive 2020).

Safety controls aren’t something that should be subject to “move fast and break things.”

I don’t know how anyone who has ridden in a car and used a capacitive touchscreen could come to the conclusion that the two should be combined in one product. Especially for controlling safety features.

Because we elect garbage politicians who engage in wholesale bribery and are more interested in maintaining power than doing the job they were elected to do. We're getting exactly what we deserve, and honestly, I think that's too much.

They didn’t try to fix the DC-10’s design problem (outward-opening doors causing explosive decompression) with a software fix. Also, the aircraft never regained the trust of the flying public, relegating it to freighter duty. That doesn’t seem like a desirable outcome for Boeing or the MAX’s buyers.

Boeing owns enough of the US legislature through bribery or in-district employment to never, ever, ever have to worry about bankruptcy or any other adverse market impact.

Will they be allowed to teeter on the edge of insolvency? Sure. Fall over? Not when taxpayer money is free and infinite.

What would you imagine the percentage is at companies whose primary business is producing airplanes?
