Right just how people don’t want to own houses… Consider that you might be out of touch with the average American

Right so it sounds like you have nothing? You got proven wrong and now you just want to go after me. I worked for SRA, CSRA, and GDIT. Those are all one company now lol

I almost feel bad for you now. You really don’t have a leg to stand on do you?

So you’re cool with that right? 😂

Do you work for one of these companies or something? Why are you being disingenuous?

I have decades of experience in the industry and you think I’m going to get shut down by some little teenager with his opinions?

Either concede or bring some good arguments. Otherwise I think you are a coward and probably 12

So you only read the one part that you wanted to read?

You’re cool with one company taking 1/5 of the defense tax dollars? That is a fact not an ideology or opinion.

The consolidation of these companies is not an opinion or an ideology it is a fact. Reality

Do you want to argue the points orrr…

Of course there are more than four, but an enormously disproportionate amount of our tax dollars go to four of them.

20% goes to Lockheed Martin alone.

General Dynamics swallowed up all of the companies I worked for in the first half of my career.

You probably also think that because there are thousands of small farmers that they actually have any market share.

The big fish are eating the small ones and getting bigger and bigger. This is what happens when you relax antitrust enforcement. Why do you think we keep getting involved in wars we have nothing to do with? These four have raked in billions facilitating the death of our children overseas for decades

Economics and trickle down is working so great right? Republicans would drive us into slavery we gave them the reins. And yes it is political just look at Reagan and his policies and how they have affected us today

Okay so apparently a corporation bought them out in 2019. Looks like we are falling one by one corporate interest.

There used to be 100 government contractors know there are 4.

There used to be dozens of Telecom providers, now there are 3

You know how many places I’ve lived where I’ve had a choice of Internet provider? 0 Functionally a monopoly

I’m so close to giving up on this country because of the greed that is tearing it apart from the inside while everyone concerns themselves with talentless celebrities, Donald Trump included

I’m done being complacent. Something has to give

One of the most successful breweries in America is owned by its employees. New Belgium.

They did not crumble and fall apart because of “evil socialism”. They flourished because every single worker had a vested interest in making the business grow.

Executives wonder why their employees are so unmotivated. Give them motivation. Not pizza parties

Employee ownership would save this nation from its spiral towards indentured servitude. 60% of the population currently lives month to month. You’re telling me every single one of them is lazy? Bullshit.

The American dream has been stolen from us, it will take it back one way or another.

You can keep sucking on the nuts of billionaires pretending you will be one of them, I will fight for the working class.

There is billions of dollars in preventing this. Amazon has an entire fleet of people hired for the sole purpose of stopping unionization, which is illegal but they get away with it because power.

This is what happens when money and power write our laws. First step is to get money out of politics. No more millionaires representing people making an avg of 35k a year.

The USA is supposed to be a Country of the people, by the people and for the people.

Free market communism sounds American as fuck to me.

Free markets can exist without corporate overlords, we collectively need to stop believing the Capitalism vs Communism false-dichotomy. Hybrid systems are the future, any other pure system devolves into slavery.

I’ve been dreaming of a future where Uber, DoorDash, etc are devoid of any corporate organization. Developers, drivers and support staff are the only human workers, the rest is organized by a complex, but open source, program.

No investors, no shareholders, every cent goes to the workers. Wages are higher in prices are lower because we aren’t paying five VPs a million dollars a year or sending all our profits to the shareholders.

I think advances in computing and AI could actually make this possible. If only greed didn’t run the world it might be doable

I want free market capitalism that works for us. What we have now if slavery with extra steps

Also dump money into Bitcoin when it cost less than a dollar

so they are treating computer parts like diamonds now? Faking supply shortages to increase demand, therefore prices?

Capitalism is so efficient.

We are both adults here, right? I think you can handle being told you didn’t think it through. I’m not going to use kid-gloves with you and lie to you to serve your ego.

you are still going on implying that COVID is the same as the flu or a cold. The flu has never altered my heartbeat rhythms for years after.

You are still ascribing to the false dichotomy I stated in my comment when you say “not everyone can lock down” absolutely, except tons of people I personally know were still going out on vacations, some knowing they had COVID before flying to their destination.

Just because a full lockdown wouldn’t have 100% wiped out COVID doesn’t mean we should have given up on stopping the spread. It’s not one or the other.

I feel like you are trying to make excuses for endangering the lives of other people so you can not be bored. My Grandfather is buried under 6ft of dirt because of this mentality in Texas. He died needlessly. He was an active man who was writing a novel and was constantly physically active. He had at least 10 years left

A lot of us are not going to forget the actions of our fellow man during the peak of COVID, especially those who lost loved ones needlessly

I feel like you haven’t thought this through. My cousin is young so he has very low risk of having serious side effects from his COVID. The thing is we had elderly grandparents at Christmas as well, one of which with stage 4 cancer.

There is a point to testing for COVID. If we don’t test for it we have no idea how much it is spreading.

I used to get the flu once every 10 years, roughly. I’ve been getting COVID nearly every single winter.

There are relatively young people who are completely bedridden from long COVID. I’ve never heard of someone having years of their lives taken from them because of the flu.

Ever since I first got COVID I have had a irregular heartbeats and periods of extremely low energy

I find it funny you’re creating a false dichotomy of either locking people in their homes for eternity or being free. We all had a chance to stop this in its tracks, nearly everyone around me was completely unable to sacrifice one summer of vacations. I know people who literally went on vacation knowing they had COVID, breaking state laws in the process.

If you didn’t lose anybody to COVID that’s great for you, but a lot of us did.

A lot of people believed our president at the time who said that it was nothing more than the flu, similar to what you are saying today.

I believe there should be legal repercussions for those who have spread that misinformation, leading to needless death

starting to wonder if my heart irregularities are from COVID. I get a ridiculously strong pulse after just a 1 mile walk with my dog.

Got COVID from my cousin during Christmas, still feeling terrible.

He went to the doctor and they didn’t even test him. they just assumed it was the flu and gave him Tamiflu.

Tested myself after I got it and came up positive for COVID. It seems that our medical professionals are complicit in the cover-up of diagnoses. Once it left the news people just assumed it was gone.

You’ve completely changed my mind

You can set your download options in Sonarr and Radarr so that you only get certain filetypes and certain bitrates. This can keep you from filling your drive with 10GB+ 4k movies if you don’t need that quality too

I highly suggest revisiting, using that guide I linked.
I gave up on my media server many times due to complexity and issues, once I set this up I can’t go back.

IDK man, I am able to continue shows where I left off and do anything Netflix can do You can see all the actors in a movie, and then see all the shows and movies I have that the actor is in. I think it’s more featured than Netflix

I followed this guide to set it up so shows automatically download, and I can add movies to be monitored. I don’t do anything unless I want to add a new show for monitoring.

I have every movie I’ve ever liked, and don’t have to switch platforms when my show gets removed from Netflix.

$0 a month…

right, Swartz totally cared about no one else…

go suck on Musk’s toes or something
