Do you know that most successful countries in the world are social-democracies right? Like most of Europe. You don't need to go full communist or follow the red party book to incorporate the good bits of modern social-democratic practices to counter bad capitalism abuse. Im not a communist or "socialist" btw (assuming the typical American biased understand of those terms).

I usually reply to that with: "And if you love capitalism that much why don't you move to the US instead?"

It's not only about confusion for me, it feels wrong and uncenessary abusive. This shit is illegal on most of the first world for a reason!

Her gig at Grauzone that year was super packed but memorable. She is also super nice to talk to ^⁠_⁠^

Maybe they could start with Saudi Arabia then, their closest Muslim ally in the region?

Companies don't remember or learn. People come and go and after a software lifecycle everything is forgotten as the top management gets refreshed.

In my case those almost never pass. Maybe you're the only one exclusively working on that system...? When you're one of a number of contractors competing to do something in software that cannot be regulated, you're basically screwed.

Did this credit card score in the US come from a Black Mirror episode or something? Sure we have companies (in the EU) doing some customer scoring checks beforehand (for some utilities or services), but they operate mostly by accessing shared black lists from past collections systems or something, and I'm ok with that. But this US system looks scary!
