Yeah, I guess isn't not really about simple vs. complex for me, I don't mind having to research, break down, or even delegate; but I want to clear goal. "Improve the login flow" is a task I hate, and probably won't do well or fast. "Allow Yubikey as an alternative to Google Authenticator for our 2FA" is something I can knock out, even if I'm totally new to the code base (and I've not yet ever used the Google Authenticator API or a Yubikey).

I know metrics make for poor goals (Goodhart's Law) but I like a task that is metric-driven. I do tend to be careful to not be overly fixated on the metric and rather the improvement it's meant to reflect.

This is true. Solidarity always means fighting beside other labor, especially when that labor comes from women or BIPoC and/or LGBT persons.

But, there's quite a few in the labor-class that prefer their male, white, or "traditional" identities to their labor identity.

And solidarity sometimes means fighting beside someone that in a different context is your enemy.

No, Capital has always been a criminal class, since Marx.

Even Smith identified rent-seeking behavior as the primary enemy of free markets.

At worst, "assuming everyone from a certain class is a fraud" could be considered a type of kink shaming. Where the kink is hoarding resources.

Thank goodness.

I think I'm more productive when I have someone else doing the executive thinking and "just" assigning me "simple" tasks.

But, I can still recognize Rentiers as bad for the economy in specific and society in general.

Americans aren't Labor, they are temporarily embarrassed Capital.

When when the conclusion is accurate and/or agreeable, it is good to point out fallacious reasoning, but it can attract some real hate.

Exploitation is a moral failing. You almost never become a billionaire withoit exploiting something.

I agree the the number-theoretic shortcuts for multiplication (and division!) based on the factors of 9, 10, and 11 should be taught.

I disagree that single-digit sums and products shouldn't be memorized. Neither students nor practitioners derive formulae from first principles each and every time, and breaking down a single-digit sum or product into "simpler" ones is a very similar ask.

My plan is okay. It covers most things (including ER visits) partially, and the out of pocket maximum isn't insane, but there's constant co-pays. But, honestly that's why I carry it; to limit the financial damage a single event can cause in a single year.

I got this plan through the ACA system, I just opted to skip the process of checking for subsidies.
