Maybe they were inspired by Boeing to skip the QA checkups on some of those systems πŸ˜‰

On that point I'm with you! It's painfully obvious in today's wealth disparity in the US.

Where it breaks down for me is your argument that it's only possible to have a dominating dynamic in a right wing regime. Would you really argue that the CCP does not impose a dominating dynamic over the people of China?

Are you suggesting that there is no production without domination?

They are related (in practice) but I disagree that they're one "and" the same. Freedom from domination can exist in the left or the right.

Demonizing the views that you don't hold as inherently opposed to freedom is how the US got to this point in this awful no spectrum of views two party system in the first place.

(By the way, just noticed your username. How're'ya'now bud?)

I didn't say that you did?

I respectfully disagree that "the left is concerned with freedom from domination" is "undeniably true". I think there's a lot of room for debate here that you're frankly not interested in.

I agree. In my opinion there are two huge dominating factors.

First is the almost ubiquitous winner-takes-all election structure in the US, leading to the two party system. There is, bar none, no fair competition in US government at a level high enough to matter.

Second, the lack of term limits allows certain people in certain positions to perpetuate momentum. In part this happens by hand picking successors through brute-force out funding the competition (in part due to the economic disparity that others in this thread have mentioned).

If you don't have a source then you're about as scientific as a TN politician (apparently)

Hi Everyone!

I recently broke my Ray-Bans and was curious about recommendations for sunglasses. I understand they're commonly considered a consumable item, but was hoping to find some solid and/or sustainable options.

Thanks for weighing in :)
