Ah the "I'm not crazy! You are!" Stage of deranged authoritarians

"Sure we destroyed the planet as we knew it, but for a brief moment in time, we increased value for shareholders!"

Why did the coup occur? Do the citizens of Niger support the coup?

If they’re hosting the manual then they can keep it updated (typos/mistakes/changes etc.).

This was never a problem with manuals when they were hosted offline.

Printed manuals can become outdated by the time it reaches the buyer.

What, the product magically changes during shipping?

If management weren't lazy they would make work much much smoother so engineers can actually solve problems they are excited about instead of workaround shitty management policies and decisions.

A lot of sociopaths propagate the lie that everyone in the world is as selfish and corrupt as they are. These people are the ones who are controlling capital. It's their incapability to be normal like everyone else that's responsible for their sociopathy and also their projection of values.

Don't be fooled, you're sane if you reject the capitalistic ideals. It's insane to make somebody else disproportionately wealthy with your hardwork and ideas.

To be fair... us common folk keep hearing stuff about the economy.. but the only outcome at the end of the day is we get screwed in higher prices, lower wages, fucked up climate for our kids. People get tired pretending this Economy isn't rigged by wall street and the U.S Govt or people close to it.

Actually a little bit of humiliation goes a long way towards diligence when conducting expensive space experiments. Russia used to be the leaders in these fields. The world used to rely on Soviet vehicles for launch. They deserve to be held at a higher standard.

Small flaw in the arguments.. the concept of countries has not existed for a millenia.. let alone centuries.

There's no billionaire who didn't steal from the hard work of others. Every billionaire is a scoundrel of some sort, a thug if you try to take their cash cow from them.

It's easy to make some smart bets when you can make many bets and fail over and over and not become destitute.
