Lemmy was designed to be a place where communists would have a community. Some instances weren't, but a lot of the original ones were.

I responded to someone else, but there is a reason why Grey isn't a part of Nebula.

Him and Kurzgesagt were helping to build an organization for YouTubers with the current CEO. The first talent signed on was Wendover and Real Engineering.

Grey and Kurzgesagt were rather inactive partners when they should have been more active and were trying to build a much more exploitative company instead of what Nebula became. It is vague on how they left, but they left and the company became better for it.

Work because I use it at work for work reasons.

I feel like, if they ditched the hot wings, it would still be a good interview.

Buried into a lot of romcoms is a sense of fantasy. People don't fantasize about being poor.

CGPGrey. I even listened to his podcasts.

For someone who tried to sell productivity tools at one point, he was very unproductive.

Also, given what happened with Standard and Nebula, I got to say I side with Nebula over him.

It is been a plan for a while in the USA to shift launches from government run to private run for over a decade. This is just an implementation of that strategy.

What other company or government could do this?

The Chinese national government has a surplus, but the local and provincial governments are running massive deficits and have been for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these actions are to free up cash for the necessary wealth transfer to keep the popping of the property bubble from becoming too catastrophic to the retiring population.

 
 
 

The Gaza Strip seems very poorly served by the Palestinian Authority, let alone Israel. But, the area has relatively stable borders and it would likely have a stable government in Hamas. So, what if Gaza just declared independence as the government with sole control over the Gaza Strip?

Would Gaza get recognized by other countries? Could it parlay the recognition into forcing a permanent peace with Israel as becoming a recognized country puts Israeli treatment of it into more known sections of international law?

 

Help me, help me make it go.
