Ukraine is doing fine building their own drones. They seem to have a fast iteration cycle with their growing drone industry. Their priority for foreign aid is artillery shells, missile systems, and vehicles/planes which is harder for them to produce en mass

Not defending Subway overall, the price increases are nuts. However that experience of yours is definitely an individual franchise problem, not a "corporate culture" problem.

Her PhD is in investigating the cultural/social context and implications of women in breakdancing. It's not PhD in performing breakdancing.

Well yeah, they asked for a simple example, I gave one. What's wrong with that? The discussion is already in the realm of "military dictatorship" which aren't exactly known for respecting human rights/freedoms of non-citizena. The question was about the sustainability of such systems for those deemed citizens.

It's not that they throw a ball around really well, it's that the NBA brings in over 10 billion in annual revenue because of these players. How much are you willing to pay someone to bring in that amount of money?

Of course, it makes perfect sense to describe Canadian products as North American, but OP asks about "American" RPGs. It would be strange to call Canadian Bacon "American food".

Looking at it a different way, that would be like a photographer taking a photo of the sandwich and proclaiming "I'm an artist" or a director telling a chef what to make, telling a cinematographer/camera operator how to shoot it, and an editor how to cut it to create a short film of a sandwich and proclaiming "I'm an artist". Art can be made from a series of creative and purposeful decisions that result in a piece of expression. It might not be good art, it might not be effortful art, it might even be unethically made art, but it's not not-art.

Again, if we read it as he literally said that, then sure I'd agree the behaviour is not okay. Given the context of the quote, I'd want more evidence to take that quote literally.

It just reeks to me of him being jealous of people who don't have kids and/or him regretting being a parent?

Perhaps. I don't think there's much here to substantiate that reading though, even with the context. I'd want a bit more evidence if I were to incorporate that into my appraisal of him.

You can judge someone to be morally repugnant without interpreting everything they say/do as an extension of the things that make them repugnant. It doesn't lessen the repugnance.
