I don't think money itself corrupts, but power does and power comes with money. Im currently reading a book "Human Kind" that argues that people are generally pretty decent, but that even a little bit of power almost always starts changing people's behaviour, affecting their empathy, etc.

You can be mad at both. Those in power should be changing the system to make it better and more fair, but they are not. That deserves anger. But while we are stuck with the existing system, and while the results of the system have serious consequences, then refusing to participate (and voting 3rd party in such a system is refusing to participate) means allowing the serious consequences to occur, and therefore also deserves anger.
It's almost exactly the classic trolley problem. Voting democrat means pulling the lever: you cause some harm, but far less harm than if the trolley had not been diverted. Voting 3rd party is the equivalent to not pulling the lever, allowing much greater harm while feeling morally "clean" for not having caused it yourself.
I mean surely its a negative? You might like Xbox/switch in spite of the closed ecosystem, but wouldn't they be better if they had an open ecosystem?
But then why spend so much money on a phone? I also don't care about the specs of my phone, but this means I usually buy some $100 phone that gets the job done for a couple years.
I genuinely don't see a reason why someone would buy an iPhone besides as a fashion accessory/ status symbol
There's also quite a bit of English, eg.
Window -> vindu
Leather (animal skin) -> skinn
Yes, terminal means "end" or similar. Eg. "Terminal cancer", "the airport terminal" etc. same root word as"terminate"
MQTT is great! There are clients available in Python, JS, etc
I'm sorry but how is a couple million "not rich"
This doesn't answer the question at all though?
Is the entity an immortal snail?
Even though they have spread across Europe, I think most countries still have dramatically less of these chain restaurants than in the US
I'm not saying that the left is the correct side to drive on, but you do realise that roads and "driving" (with horses) have existed well before the modern car right?
In fact the US used to drive on the left, until large freight wagons started preferring the right due to where the dude holding the horse whip was sitting.
