  • Oh it does. Neolibs looooove privatization. I’m from Honduras, where the modus operandi is to drive public entities to the ground from the inside in order to justify privatization, and then just pretend it’s doing its job while corpos and politicians line their pockets. We’re currently under a leftist government, and one of the first steps it took was to retake control of the energy sector, since it got privatized and sold to a Colombian company, a stunt that ended up in millions in debt and led to a mud fight between the private company and the government, which resulted in, among all the lawsuits back and forth, constant country-wide blackouts during a few months this year. It’s the first leftist government in over a decade, and it’s admittedly not doing great (we really don’t have our shit together), but people here tend to forget we were sold a capitalist dystopia dressed up as a utopia, by a druglord-president that’s currently holed up in NY over drug and arms trafficking charges.




  • Pretty much same as you: If it works for NASA or it’s a heavenly body, it works for me. Main PC is called SATURN V (SATURN for most things). Laptop is called HYPERION. Currently saving up to replace SATURN with ARTEMIS. Might throw in a GAIA NAS/virtualization server at some point, if cash flow allows for it. I’m not as picky about my family’s devices that I’ve set up, though… They’ll keep their randomly generated names, mostly out of laziness.
