For being a good sport I'm upvoting your comment to help balance it out:-).

And yet Donald Trump still managed to lose money somehow, which should have really told us something about his supposed "business accumen".

Imagine Jesus Christ as a time traveler, going back from a dying planet to just about the dawn of both roads and also safer sea travel than previously, those two connecting what would become the entire modern world.

Jesus: like, forget all this "religion" crap about what foods to eat & where & when & with who, and like, just be excellent to one another dudes & dudettes

Everyone since then, especially those who borrow His actual fucking name to label themselves: um... how about "no"?

Haha, oh yes, definitely not only not actively growing anymore but fully actively declining instead - those internal politics mattered more than the actual language issues themselves, once again. Every time I see another Python update and how very many things they break, I think that thought again. Tbf newer updates breaking older code happens even with C++ too - backwards compatibility affects just everything - though the whole Python 2 vs. 3 definitely still rankles me.

I guess I'm still having emotional trouble letting it go - but that is an absolutely perfect example of Latin, still spoken yet most definitely also considered "dead" at the same time. I guess this about sums it up:

Tbf, they are probably the magic-bean "fix-all" pills, not only for kidneys:-).

I think they don't so much "remove" them as that billionaires tend to not have their money as "wage income" like the rest of us plebes.

They get "stock options", which occasionally they can cash out, and then THAT counts as income, while the rest remains in the digital ether where it just auto-magically grows and grows, at the expense of all the wage-earners.

So they aren't "earning" more (wages) than us, so much as they are treated as an entirely different type of being (capital).

And I do prefer being inclusive whenever possible:-).

Patrick Stewart is known for just throwing himself into every role he does - it's amazing to watch:-).
