Canada has a lot of anti-vaxxer. No idea how this stupidity managed to spread so fast, but I've had so many conversations with people who looks like they can use their heads only to learn that they mistrust vaccines for no real reason other than gut feeling.
"It's not natural" or some shit like that... What does that even mean, they think vaccines are supernatural?!
It's been like this since I could vote... I don't get why you say finally ?!
Also, Canada is the same. I'm personally stuck between two cultures that will not really accept me due to their actions! Fun, fun!
This person is delusional and need mental health care.
Seriously, this looks like the start of psychosis...
Here's a version without an ideological filter : An actuary will calculate what is the best for the stock market for a corporation: invest into automation or offshore production to a country where production is cheaper. It's mostly always cheaper to offshore than invest in automation.
At some point, no offshoring option exist and some actuary will actually tell their masters to invest in automation. Some will do, but research is not always successful and takes a long time.
Neo-liberal gov. will seek stability and so they will either invest into their friends corporation, to stabilize them and enrich themselves. This will mean wage stagnation and being outcompeted by countries that successfully automated.
At this point, the empire will grow hungry for stability and stock market growth, and will either try to make another country it's cheap offshore location, by several economic, diplomatic or even millitary strategy or start to make it's actually population serf again.
If the second happens, chances of revolution starts to go up. We may see a modern French-style revolution in the empire, or something like that, start to be more likely.
But more realistically, we won't get to see this, as the climate is already starting to disrupt human activity. The western empire is already imploding and unable to respond to the new reality so mostly, no one serious is able to predict the next few years.
In Canada, people fear communism like it's a plague.
Basing our hopes on the Canadian communist party is not a good idea.
People here are hopelessly liberal (conservative liberal or neo-liberal) and are mostly influenced by words and placated by feel-good allusions - most people I know who tells themselves are progressive are only progressive if progress can be resumed as green-cars or recycling - meaning ideas that are mostly marketing in disguise and side step the real issues.
They fear real change because it will disturb day to day functionning.
The NPD never was really popular. It's not even a true alternative to the Tory (be they red or blue) dominated landscape, and even so, it was seen as radical by a lot of people.
What we need is a rebranding, we need to use the tools that liberals can understand and they only understand marketing terms.
So we can't take terms with negative connotation to the liberal mind and use that. We can't say communism, revolution, proletariat or stuff like that.
We need to create something that will sell the ideas with new word combinations.
We could create the Competitor Party (feels liberal) which give a new idea. It's not a collective effort, it's the effort of several individuals working together, ect, ect...
The theory is that with time and good salaries for low skill labor, the need for automation will stimulate the need for more innovation in automation by making the capitalist pay for it - this obliviously does not work as the capitalist will always try to find a cheaper solution for a quick profit now instead of greater profit for all down the line - and with imperialism, there is always someone to exploit to sidestep the investment that needs to be done...
It's a disruptive new technology that disrupt an industry that already has trouble giving a living to people in the western world.
The reaction is warranted but it's now a fact of life. It just show how stupid our value system is and most liberal have trouble reconciling that their hardship is due to their value and economic system.
It's just another mean of automation and should be seized by the experts to gain more bargaining power, instead they fear it and bemoan reality.
So nothing new under the sun...
The amount of automation that can be done is not that great for those type of things.
The cost of fully automating this process is insanely high, that's why the actual manufacturing is outsourced outside of the usa.
Producting a laptop from fully automated factory would boost the cost of the laptop to prohitive levels for most Americans as the cost of automation needs to be paid by the buyers.
Automated factories needs maintenance, which is not free at all.
Automated factories are cyber attack targets and needs great cybersecurity.
The material needed to build the components has to be mined and processed in other automated facilities with the same flaws.
With our current level of technology, fully automating this process is not cost effective at all.
No,
Serious teams know that building big software is hard and that starting by having a set deadline is the first failure point of a project.
Serious team wants a set budget and feature set. They also want a dialog with the aquiring party, because as you dig deeper in the software you uncover oddities. These oddities are more often than not a failure of the aquiring party understanding of their own business operations.
And thus, a serious team will help the aquiring party refine their business process by either removing useless steps, adding missings steps or changing a step in the overall workflow. And that's were the most of the value of making a new software comes from.
Doing waterfall will stop this from happening and will remove actual value from the software because it's going to be bloated with useless things that were badly understood by the aquiring party.
Agile is about producing as much value as possible, as fast as possible, in a set budget.
English is my third language so sorry if it's hard to understand or feel aggressive.
Not libs.
They think it fails because ideological arguments
