You are comparing apples to oranges. A company can be as inefficient as it wants, it's their problem. If they manage to be profitable while being inefficient good for them. I don't care, they don't force me to give them MY money. The government on the other hand does, with the threat of imprisonment. They extract wealth from me to provide services that I didn't ask them to provide, which are deteriorating year after year even though their budget constantly keeps increasing dramatically without the population increasing in the same rate.

I don't get why users of these old libraries cannot just pin the compiler to a specific standard and let the rest of us enjoy advancements. At some point the "I want to be using bleeding edge C++ on my side but still be able to dynamically link against arcane artifacts" argument should not hold water for the committee. That is if they really care about the language and not their sponsors.

Why are they defending Fauci then?

Well you must not have been paying much attention then. It's straight from Kamala's ad:

Have we been following the same campaign? These were at least in the top-5 messages from their campaign:

- Kamala is not only black, but she is ALSO a woman! Please vote for her otherwise you won't only be a racist but a misogynist too.

- If you are a woman your rights are in jeopardy and Trump will put you back in chains or something. If you are a woman and not voting for Kamala you are doing what your husband is telling you to do obviously.

Purely delusional.

"Trust us, the ONLY solution to our disastrous intervention is MORE intervention!!"

How does the exact same argument do not apply to Republican voters in e.g California, New York or Oregon?
