  • The point is more that even wars come down to economy.

    All other things being equal, (s)he with the biggest economic breath has the biggest chance of winning

    Where things get less equal is when you start destroying 25 million dollars of your opponent at the cost of 25 thousand for yourself.

    This means, again all other things being equal, and assuming that you can continue making these kills, that your opponent needs an economy a thousand times larger than yours to be able to continue this in a sustainable way

    This is in part also why Ukraine has been so successful against Russia, they found ways to cause millions of dollars worth of damage to Russia with relatively tiny budgets. Also, Ukraine’s focus is on crippling the Russian economy while Russia is still using the “let’s murder and terrorize their entire population” strategy from WWII which hasn’t worked out well for them











  • Bill Gates has been a huge asshole right from the start. Microsoft really hasn’t gotten more or less evil after gates, it just steadily has gone on on the same fucked up path.

    Microsoft is just marketing company that tries to paddle bullshit software that will try to steal from you at every moment. That isn’t new, that had been like that from the moment they could. The sabotaging of consumers and competition basically has been a feature of day one. It’s in their motto, the embrace, extend, extinguish.
