  • What anticompetitive practices? This normally refers to things like selling at a loss long enough to destroy fledgling competition and the like. As far as I'm aware, steam just... provides good services that other stores don't?

  • It's hard for you to understand because you're more knowledgeable. A lot of people see Trump saying he's going to make groceries cheaper and even though he's completely full of shit at least he was acknowledging working class problems where the dems were not

  • This is a common take and maybe it has merit, but I'm not convinced.

    Hillary had decades of propaganda to compete with, a general attitude is "it's my turn" (political dynasties are bad) and made some major gaffes.

    Kamala was chosen without any voter input at all, was not popular as a primary candidate in 2020, ran on being "the top cop" in an environment where only the right likes cops, and lurched right to compete for the Republican base, completely betraying the base that voted for Biden. I was personally sick to my stomach listening to her praise Dick Cheney and parade around with Liz Cheney. (I voted for her anyway because what choice did I have). Harris was a weak Democrat candidate to begin with AND the campaign basically did everything wrong.

    Anyway, it's possible that the US electorate won't elect a woman for president out of sexism but I personally don't think that's what has happened because I don't think a woman that also happens to be a good candidate that ran a good campaign has gotten past primaries.

  • I wouldn't necessarily agree it needs to be rewritten. Hiring programmers that are willing to work in cobol would certainly be harder than other languages though, because you'll have a much smaller candidate pool and people would be unlikely to see learning cobol as a good career investment
