@jeremydmiller Exactly. In the case of MediatR, AutoMapper, etc. no costs have even been mentioned. It really seems like backlash about the end of a free ride. #selfishness

John Kenneth Galbraith's observation about conservatism is as relevant as ever.
"The modern conservative is not even especially modern. He is engaged, on the contrary, in one of man’s oldest, best financed, most applauded, and, on the whole, least successful exercises in moral philosophy. That is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

@flyhigh @GNUmatic When I was young I considered myself a #Libertarian. It was because I lived among angry, impoverished people who never lived outside the #BubbleOfPrivilege. I came to understand that it is a #Euphemism for #Selfishness. I then became a #Republican because I am #FiscallyConservative. I taught at a girls school 100km north of Nairobi, Kenya (84-86). When #TrentLott changed the #GOP to the party of Bigots. I became a #Libtard. I've been across the spectrum.
Property is not a universal concept. It must grow from place to place and from time to time. So we have grown to understand the concept of ownership must include responsibility for the consequences of it.
Prophesy Happening
By Duane 'Chili' Yazzie, #Dine', #Shiprock, #NavajoNation

"The prophecies that foretold the shifting of the world to a new reality are happening; it will be humankind self-destructing or life rebirth to rebalance and return to the original design.
"A life of balance and keeping of the original design is lived by peoples who maintain the Original Instructions destined by the Great Creator. The Indigenous of the western hemisphere lived this idyllic life before the imperialist intrusion. A requisite of the Original Instructions for a lifeway of balance is to
understand that all of creation are intrinsically related and to regard all as relatives. The other requisite is compassion, we were to be kind, take care of each other and the earth.
"The Hopi prophesy story say that mankind would be on separate life journeys. One, the path predicated on the Original Instructions; the path originally intended for a perpetual earth life. The
other, the path of departure precipitated by ego, greed for materiality and power. The prophecies tell about when humanity will choose to continue on the path of departure from the Original Instructions or realize it is on the wrong path and realign.
"The Mayan calendar tells about the epictical phases in the human journey, inclusive with time endings and beginnings, the shifting of realities. The life phase we now live is shifting, we will transition into a virtuous new beginning, or it will be the beginning of the end time. Human conduct determines the
next phase.
"The fate of the world appears to have been decided with the trajectory of the human life path, with the divisiveness and naked hatred swirling throughout the world. This condition exacerbated by the
vicious actions of dominating players to the extreme of, the culture of hate, #selfishness and decadence of the elite becoming acceptable norms.
"The #WealthyElite control the systems of society and government including the apparatus of justice, manipulating the systems to assure 'justice', more wealth and power for the elite. The self-righteous, self-serving dominating elite have chosen the path with the dark ending, the disappearing The departure from the Original Instructions is apexed by the fallacy of attempting to separate the physical and spiritual paradigms. The great fallacy was an attempt to justify imperialist #genocide, #oppression, theft, #exploitation, and #colonization; perhaps, the naïve belief was, by dichotomizing the
physical and spiritual, the purveyors of imperialism would somehow not be spiritually liable.
"Through the political storms, the enemy of the earth has been greatly empowered, this vengeful monster with seemingly infinite worldly powers looms over our earth with intent to feed its insatiable
hunger for more wealth and power. The world’s true #Indigenous, peoples of good heart and earth advocates who want a continued earth life confront these overpowering unrelenting forces. Our lands are under imminent renewed assault.
"The monster is rooted to #WhiteSupremacy, the white supremacy that tormented #IndigenousPeoples
of the world for centuries. It is driven by the false conviction that it is ordained to have dominion over the earth. It has no principled conscious, in its arrogant ignorance it has not a clue, that it only
accelerates the demise of the life of the planet.
"We, #WaterProtectors and #EarthDefenders stand strong, we will defend the #EarthMother. We have no option but to protect the future of the grandchildren. We choose for the life of our Earth Mother.
"The monster may devour us, all we can say to it is Bring It On!
"We remain."

The top environmental problems are " #selfishness, #greed & #apathy,” (~environmentalist #GusSpeth). These are #spiritual issues; #science & #technology cannot solve them alone. #Spirituality & #spiritualwarriors are required. And that means all #workers & all #citizens. https://bit.ly/407JJNt
@Susan60 One of the arguments always trotted out any time someone quite rightly states that the only way generational equity wrt housing has even a ghost of a chance of arising, is that ALL homes need to become MASSIVELY cheaper, is "omg no way, blasphemer, you can't impoverish all existing home owners like that; begone you vagabond!".
I'm an existing homeowner. I bought my ONE home for shelter, safety, privacy, peace of mind. I did not buy it for investment. I did not buy it for wealth creation. I don't have a clue what "the market" might suggest its current value is. I do not care what its current MV might be. Go your hardest, knock off a quarter of its supposed MV. Halve it. Quarter it. I do not fscken care. If it then becomes part of the solution for restoring generational fairness, then go your hardest, with my blessing & enthusiasm.
Fuck the selfishness, greed & heartlessness of other humans!
“Understanding this goes a long way in explaining why fundamentalist Christians vote the way they do.
They don’t want to solve hunger.
They don’t way to solve homelessness.
They don’t want to solve poverty.
The same person who will donate to the foodbank will vote against food stamps. They don’t want a political solution, they want to remain the triage unit. At the church’s triage unit, people are desperately grateful and the church has the perfect sales pitch.” - Iblamebill (Threads)

"The dirty secret of capitalism -- and a new way forward | Nick Hanauer" [17:30 min]
by TED
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th3KE_H27bs
Quote by TED:
"Oct 18, 2019
Rising inequality and growing political instability are the direct result of decades of bad economic theory, says entrepreneur Nick Hanauer. In a visionary talk, he dismantles the mantra that "greed is good" -- an idea he describes as not only morally corrosive, but also scientifically wrong -- and lays out a new theory of economics powered by reciprocity and cooperation."

“No wonder generative #AI is such a hit with execs and employees at big companies — folks who deal with tons of #crappy texts that nobody reads unless they have to (if they read them at all).
#Apple Intelligence’s hook takes this crazy dynamic to the deepest levels of affection — in this case, the #heart of a #family. The daughters’ lame but heartfelt #gifts suddenly become just #lame. Intention doesn’t matter. Apple’s ideal customer is #heartless.”
