deniers do believe climate acceptance is dogmatic, that our modern epistemology is a deviation and largely a political ideology.

increasing wealth inequality and unaccountable mega corporations. more of the same, basically.
I don't "believe" there is a solution until enough people get really hungry.

not allow private companies to accumulate so much capital by breaking them up and taxing them fairly. then use the budget for things like single payer healthcare and affordable housing

oh my god when will js devs learn this cycle has been going on so much longer than 7 years? I mean it's almost funny if it wasn't so depressing that JavaScript is eating up all the web dev jobs.

my current dd laptop is also an early 2013 MBP, which I had installed Linux on a few years ago. however recently I picked up music again and preferred to use Mac for certain software. oh man was the reinstallation process a nightmare. the recovery install didn't have a browser that would render the Firefox download page. the Mac app store didn't have downloads for the highest version of macOS I could install on Intel architecture. it was problem after problem but now in finally running the last version I'll be able to run: 11.17. funny how much can change or become obsolete in only a decade :D

but wasn't that the point of pdf? we consumers of PDFs are the downstream users, not the target demographic. PDF solved a problem for publishers and magazines, not for consumers needing to read properly typeset digital documents. we just got the bread crumbs and then they became standard
epub I believe are essentially what we as programmers would come up with, xml, html, and style sheets

probably yes.
also, when being asked questions I rehearse and rephrase the answer in my head often stumbling or pausing uncomfortably long to actually get it out for fear of it sounding weird or wrong or dumb.

norway is highly unionized and particular sectors do implement minimum wages.
singapore is uh... ranked 149 out of 157 in the oxfam inequality index.......

printing money obviously can't be the "root" cause because it's not an independent variable - it's the product of a social institution implementing policy which was decided on.
so, who decided? why? to benefit whom? i suppose therein lies the root cause.
