They compromised and it's central.

Which "left"?? You mean politicians? The wealthy? The hate for him crosses party lines with few exceptions.

Regular people though? That's a different story. Not sure it is mostly people leaning left though. It wouldn't be the first time GOP supporters licked the boots as they press against their necks, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Isn't the party motto like "Pls tread on me sirs!" or something?

They do that to pretty much everyone so that they can give a plea deal years later saying "just pleas no contest and you can go home today!" and most people take it. The vicious cycle starts there and prosecutors do not care if there is no evidence where they'd drop the charges anyway not do they usually care if their is evidence of innocence.

In the US the tax payer subsidizes almost all drug research. Between 2010 and 2019 the NIH spent $184 Billion on all but 2 drugs approved by the FDA.

It worked out to about $1.5 Billion for each R&D product with a novel target and about $600 mill for each R&D product with multiple targets.

Or

The cost to develop each drug is between about $1 and $2.5 Billion

I'm not sure how much is subsidized outside of NIH but I'd imagine other countries are doing the same.

Why should companies own the whole IP or perhaps why should they have any ownership if most of the funding is from the public?

Dual boot with Windows is terrible because of how fastboot messes with the drive partitions. If you want to dual boot you will have to turn off Windows fastboot.

When I was in, the bs spewed was that you should vote Republican to get pay increases because the Dems won't do it. Of course the GOP also likes to chip away at the VA and other veteran aftercare. We also had personnel equipment shortages like armor during OEF/OIF and Congress just shrugged.

Unfortunately there are a lot of impressionable kids and they pass the same dumbassery on when they are old timers. It is effective because you're basically indoctrinated to trust senior leaders.

I don't know much about it but I assume it would be any texts white washing history. As an example I grew up in the south and learned about John Brown and Harriet Tubman with basically facts that can be regurgitated. Nothing diving into the day-to-day hardships and anything sounding too sympathetic.

The rationale for the civil war was white washed to "state's rights" and specifically "slavery wasn't the major cause". For 'what" state's rights obviously due to economic ones because the north was purposely attempting to keep the south down.

Another example was that slaves had a better life as slaves and many came back! The 'silent racism' of the North was even worse than the South's violent racism because in the South they could live (in slavery) while on the North they will be destitute and invisible.

The point being, if it's attempting to redo that, then it is the overall message and subtext of the curriculum.

Hopefully, we start seeing civil rights lawsuits for the usual -- 4th and probably 5th Amendment violations. You know, the classics.

You are wrong. Until recently Windows did not natively support 7z or unrar.

I was born after 1980. It isn't definitely generation x because the definition has changed since millennials were called generation y/why. So a person born in 1981 would have been 28 years old in 2009. It doesn't change anything.

It's already illegal in some form. Via piracy of the works and regurgitating protected data.

The issue is mega Corp with many rich investors vs everyone else. If this were some university student their life would probably be ruined like with what happened to Aaron Swartz.

The US justice system is different for different people.

If millinial births start in 1980 then a millinial could have been 29 in 2009.
