Worsening standard of living as a result of 40 years of cuts to social services as neoliberal economic policy seeks to manage the contradictions of capitalism in the u.s. Basically the u.s. deindustrialized itself at the hands of monopoly capitalists which savaged the working class.
Tl;Dr class war
Tony blinken seems like the third position of a human centipede of ideology, like an absolute yes man team player with no independent thoughts. He's like the refined cream of the professional managerial class. All that, or he's just extremely dumb.
Sovereign like when American neocon Victoria nuland picks your country's next president?

A+ meme, and also I'm in fact looking for sincere ideas/resources for how to be a parent trying to raise little comrades. Anybody got anything that comes to mind?
I shelled out for a ZSA Moonlander and I can't recommend it under any circumstances. It seems like it was designed by a tech bro, not someone with an understanding of anatomy. I unloaded it on eBay after a few months of worsening wrist pain.
Worker Coops are good. A far more just organizational structure than private ownership. Some would offer them as a complete solution to the systemic political economic problems of capitalism. I think this is misguided as changing incorporation structures ad hoc does nothing to address the complete control capital has over politics, and thus as a revolutionary theory is inadequate and possibly dangerous.
Tl;Dr: critical support
I used it--it was the first book I worked with. I still like it quite a lot and I often think about his guidance as I learn from my own meditation, or in the context of other readings I've done. For me, as a nerd (previously) pretty averse to religion, I found his nuts and bolts instruction really useful and free of "woo woo" entanglement which might have turned me off at the beginning.
For newcomers, his teaching is perhaps not the norm in that it sets beginners up to practice concentration, or Samatha meditation. It seems like insight/Vipassana practice might be more common for newbies. I'm not sure how much it matters that much, tbh. For me, just learning to sit and explore my reactions to sitting took plenty of time before the distinction between concentration and insight even meant anything to me.
Are you entitled to severance? Depending on how much bullshit and confrontation you can tolerate, you can attempt to get fired in a way in which you would get severance pay/benefits if that's an option. Examples include feigning incompetence on the corpo spyware, dragging your feet for a long time, i.e., attempted compliance.
Also could you install the spyware on a vm? You could then do that and basically bunk off of work until someone notices, which gives you paid time to shop for jobs.
I have not personally had a ton of success finding actualization via employment. What has worked for me is taking a very low stress job and working on other parts of my life.
I've been trying helix and the built in LSP integration is excellent. Out of the box it's capable of a lot when paired up with a good language server. The equivalent LSP integration on neovim takes some fat plugins.
I will say helix seems immature in a few areas. I noticed it's missing tab layouts present in vim. Also might it not be impossible to resize splits? There's also no linewise selection mode.
Helix out of the boz is close to my 15 years of accumulated vim config, but it seems like it's not quite there yet.
I recommend naked capitalism and wall street on parade for finance and economic news which is critical of bourgeois capitalism.
I've made this one before and can vouch for it being excellent https://www.seriouseats.com/french-onion-soup-recipe
