Problem is that corporate culture today is as corrupted and rotten as political and social culture. It already starts with that there shouldn't be companies so huge that you need to call them "corporations". Monopoly always is a mess, and the bigger the monopolist, the worse. Biggest monopolist is the state today - and he provides services that are worse than that of private contractors, and demands more money than any private contractor.

You pay the biggest buck for the smallest Bang. Or should i say Pling.

The problem is linked to the monumental size of administrative unities today, community sizes. They are far too big, big beyond all hope.

I suggest some studying on the Greek ideas of the "Deme" and the "Polis".

OP did ask for opinion, not debate, so let's not go down the same old tired, rutted, dirt track that we usually go down?

Lol, as soon as the meltdown begins, I'll be on my father's small ranch/farm, manning the trenches. Hungry city-dwellers, beware!

Is the anti-flash gear provided or do we have to bring our own?

Get ready.

Opinions welcome.
And that brings us to the Ukrainian problem...

What the hell happened with Ukraine recently, damn, it's been a poor land the West didn't care about so far, and suddenly it gets to be the focus of everyone worldwide. Why ?

That's the thing with ideologists, you can point out their flaws in logic again and again, they can even kindly provide you all the evidence themselves showing that their ideology really is crap, yet they still cling to the ideology.
