It's fundamental. You don't build a house on a bad foundation. If you set up a commerce site, you have a structure as to how you take payments.
You may wish you could go outside that structure . . .
1) All of us are disgusted & fed up with the Republican Party (except a few perpetual grifters in DC).
2) There are calls for a new "Patriot" or "MAGA" Party. I get it. Good intentions. But there are structural reasons why a new party will fail & why we have to take over the GOP

4) Likewise if you want to get in your house, you may have 20 keys, but the car key usually won't let you in
Jobs.
He created the "spoils system" of rewarding loyalists with party & gubment jobs.
More important, they control millions of . . .
9) That's part one of the structure.
10) Part 2, winner take all/single member district, means that for any House seat, or any state house seat, you must win a majority of the vote.
11) Only one winner per district.
14) This is why no third party has ever succeeded in American history. (Remember, the Republicans . . .
15) The Libertarians get 1-3%; the Socialists get 1%; the Green Party gets 1%; and so on. They NEVER EVER grow. Why?
those are reserved for loyal DEMOKKKRATS.
19) And when they are successful at electing Foghorn Leghorn as GOP President, they expect to be rewarded & to reward THEIR underlings
None.
How many policies did they directly shape?
None. You might say, correctly, they influenced some.
How many jobs did Ross give away?
23) That creates hopelessness.
This is what the Socialists have done with the DemoKKKrat Party. They came really close in November to completing the job. Only Biteme's fraudulent victory saved the establishment . . .
25) Look at the person slated to replace Kampuchea in the CA senate seat. Full DemoKKKrat, not a non-party socialist (even though ideologically Alex Padilla . .

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.
Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.
I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.
But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.
Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.
I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.

The strange thing about the fight to displace Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House is that no one seems willing to run against her. https://t.co/VhBqf4KJom

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
