This is my biggest pet peeve of OSS projects. Someone writes some code and that is where it ends for them. The rest of the infrastructure is so free and so easy that there is no need for dedication to the project.
But part of the issue is you are cherry picking WHAT JESUS SAID. You're literally justifying their actions by trying to pretend like their book doesn't give them justification.
Jesus said that you must continue the laws previously set by their god. His generic "be nice" message doesn't supersede the horrible treatment of others the rest of the book promotes. And the part you're missing is that all the shitty things people do now they can go back to the book and say "look, its says this is all ok. Even Jesus agrees" because it does say that.
This is what happens in all of the highly violent religions. There are good and bad parts and everyone wants to pretend like the bad parts aren't there. They want to say that people are manipulating the word to justify things when honestly they aren't. These books were created by people who wanted to justify their own actions, their own grabs for power. They invent gods and create stories to show that the horrible stuff they do is ok because their god says so.
The people you're saying aren't Christian are Christian. Sadly they most likely haven't read their own book, haven't actually studied it in depth. And the ironic part is that even then most of them still are following what the book says even when doing horrible things.
Why did you skip the part where Jesus said he is here to fulfill the law, not abolish it. That we must continue the old law that told you how to get slaves from the nations around you and how to properly beat them, or to kill a woman if she doesn't bleed her first time. I think only those who haven't actually studied the bible would think Jesus was this great guy.
But that's not really true. If you are a trinitarian then what Yahweh said is also what Jesus said. But even so people apparently haven't actually read their bible. Jesus was exclusionary, used racial slurs for tribes he didn't like, told everyone to continue the same barbaric treatment found in the Old Testement.
We have one like that too and I sometimes want to stop in and ask them about all the bible passages where their god says the oposite. Because there are far more passages saying to do bad shit than to do good.
But it's not just fear of others, it's a fear of change. We no longer live in a world where you can survive purely by your physical effort. The world has moved on from that and these people's value have dropped. Unfortunately there isn't a great path for these people. They basically need to reinvent themselves and that is difficult.
You have to love that the only hand Trump and his administration have to play is "we are too incompetent." Run the country into the ground and then do your evil acts with no government to stop them.
I am talking about when the price is no longer based supply. When we see their market bottom out on AI one would expect to see the price drop. But looking at recent history these massive companies keep the price high because consumers see it as the new normal.
Consumers will find a way to eventually afford this price bump when its not food, shelter or medical care. It just takes a little longer when it is not a necessity.
But consumers are stupid. when they start selling ram again at a high price we should all boycot buying computers. instead a lot of people will just accept the new price. we saw it after the pandemic, people just accepting prices instead of holding fast and forcing prices down.
