Pretty sure the headline was changed by USA Today, based on the page title. Once I figure out how to include an image I'll add it, but I think when the OP posted this, that was the headline.

There's also just a fundamental problem with planned economies from a purely economic standpoint: they are much less efficient at actually providing the minimum set of goods and services required by a population, and they're worse at achieving growth. See the most recent Nobel Prize in economics for a citation. Funnily enough, the same paper's arguments apply equally to oligarchic economies and crony capitalist economies, which are semi-planned economies by a small group of the ultra wealthy.
More specifically to the OP, communist countries have planned economies, which by nature requires a strong authority to tightly control production. Hence why communist states always have very consolidated political power structures. And once the power is consolidated, all it takes is one bad actor to get that power and ruin everything.
Wow that's an aggressive reply, assuming I'm just dismissive as opposed to unaware.
The answer is that I am unaware - I haven't seen these articles you're discussing.
My buddy's dad with terminal cancer had to go through a hell of a process to get approved for MAD. I haven't heard of people being railroaded into it here.
This has also been my personal experience with their brand.
If I'm shopping in a new space where I can't find a clear winner in reviews, I consider Anker to be the safe bet for a good product. Let's hope they never logitech themselves.
Whether it's divisive or not really depends on your perspective and reasoning.
"What voters did we fail to capture, and why?" is a very valuable question to be asking. "Who can we blame?" is not. This article would help answer both of these.
A family of 4 on 140k combined income would indeed be kind of tight, especially depending on where.
I disabled replies because you said /conversation and I thought it was done. I didn't bait you.
I think we agree on most things. I disagree that pivoting left on Palestine would have net improved voter turnout for Harris. I do agree that the Dems have failed to appeal to undecideds and non-voters. I do agree some people in the Democratic party will be blaming third-party voters, despite them being of little consequence this election. Criticizing Hispanics for voting Trump based on vague notions of "the economy" is fair game, though, along with criticizing white people who thought Biden was still running, etc.
Re: your other post, if your post is so widely misinterpreted that you have to comment a clarification, maybe your communication isn't clear.
You're clearly not dumb, but not everyone who replies is committing a logical fallacy.

This you? This isn't a meme you posted about Dems needing to shift left on Palestine? /conversation
Again, not a false dilemma if you've previously posted that pivoting left for Arabic votes on Palestine would put the Democrats in power.
I agree that the Dems abandoned appealing to voters on economic grounds, which is what actually lost them the election. But I'm not addressing any arguments in that - I'm commenting on your previous commentary on Dems not pivoting left on Palestine. So hey, fallacy fallacy yourself if you want.
