I’m pretty sure the Abrams is made in Kentucky. Another big reason Moscow Mitch is on board with sending aid.

The Ukraine stuff has nothing to do with it.
It’s the feds attempts to wrangle inflation (caused by dumping trillions into the economy during COVID)by hiking interest rates. Companies with barely profitable or even unprofitable business models used to be able to borrow money at stupid cheap interest rates. Now that it’s 7-8% they realize they have to figure something out.
It was this silicon valley “trade profits for scale and then we’ll figure it out later” approach. That only works when cheap loans could float you until you hit scale or figured something out.
But in Unity’s case I think it’s partially that (they aren’t profitable), but partially related to the stuff apple is releasing and doing lately.
I think unity is trying to get in front of a possible boom in Mac and apple gaming. Charge dev $.20 per install so you insure you get a piece of every game install and avoid a confrontation with Apple about app store rates.
Pretty sure that’s how it works everywhere.
The rail road workers got everything they wanted and more. The admin followed up even if the media fell off. They also just raised the construction workers minimum wages on federal contracts.
Did you ask him to take the blinders off because you wanted a second set for yourself?
That’s obviously a trademark issue, but forking it should be pretty straightforward. You just can’t call it (basically) the exact same thing.
Is there proof he donated? Was it specifically a donation against gay marriage? Has he donated to other causes as well?
Anytime I see a lynch mob forming, I always get a bit skeptical of the details. Context matters as well.
This guy could be a grade A sack of shit, but I haven’t seen many links to proof, just people regurgitating the same stuff over and over.
Edit: I probably should have researched on my own before posting but here is what I’ve read so far: he donated back in 2008 (haven’t found a link of a source that proves it, but I’ve also not found anything refuting the claim, not even his blog posts). He did post this back in 2014 when the hubbub started: https://web.archive.org/web/20200708202554/https://brendaneich.com/2014/03/inclusiveness-at-mozilla/
Maybe the bar is lower now after the trump tenure, but that post seems to show some genuine self awareness and growth. I know my views about the world have grown, changed, matured, and become much more nuanced since 2008. Is it possible he has as well?
Has he done or said anything shitty since that single donation?
Edit 2: I just saw some of his tweets on masks and saying Dr fauci lies https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1337496169690230784. Bleh.
I know I’m jumping to conclusions but I’m starting to see some indicators of what kind of politics he’s continued to have.
I had this whole spiel queued up on how we need to let people be able to redeem themselves. He’s not the poster boy for that cause so I’ll hold off.
Haha exactly. People shop at Walmart because they work at target and don’t make enough money to shop at Whole Foods.
