Stephen Bourne wanted to write his shell in ALGOL so badly that he relentlessly beat C with its own preprocessor until it began to resemble his preferred language.

Look up what other workstations with similar specs cost, this is normal pricing.
All weapon systems that consist of an expensive vehicle and an expensive-to-train crew are being re-evaluated against drones right now.
If you're fighting a highly asymmetric conflict where your enemies can barely touch your expensive toys then it's less of a concern.
If you're fighting near-peer it's a different story.
Mass murder of civilians isn't morally acceptable no matter what the "other side" is doing.
Firebombing a kindergarten in the Rheinland doesn't do anything to help someone in an extermination camp in occupied Poland.
Post war analysis of allied strategic bombing indicates that it did not have a large impact on the war effort and probably wasn't worth the high rate of loss of the expensive airframes and crews.
Has he gone full Orthodox monk and withdrawn from the modern world to some monastery up in the mountains in Serbia?
Pretty arbitrary assertion.
Maybe shoplifting is a sign of what you say it is.
Could also be a sign of breakdown in law and order because property crime is increasingly ignored, and so people do it because they know they won't get punished.
But make no mistake, any place that is still running these legacy systems like commercial Unix (HPUX, AIX), OpenVMS, IBM i (aka OS/400 aka System/38) or mainframes is only doing so because they have to.
One thing to get out of the way is that crab rangoon is not inauthentic, and you should not be embarrassed to order it. American Chinese food is its own cuisine, with its own staples and a reasonably long and fascinating history. There’s a fundamental problem with the concept of authenticity in food, because cuisine is constantly mutating and adapting to new ingredients, new people, new techniques, and new ideas. Mexican food would be completely different without the influence of the Spanish and Arab immigrants and colonists; the tomato is not native to Italy; the chili pepper is not native to Thailand. There are old dishes and there are newer dishes, and that can be an interesting distinction. And there is tasty food and lousy food, but using some concept of authenticity alone as a criterion is a flawed approach.
It's definitely still a tough market, but I don't know anyone good who was laid off and then stayed unemployed.
The world is full of critical thinkers who arrive at different conclusions.
Is there really anyone who is messing around on the Unix command line who needs to be told about cat, head, and ls?
Really great company that the tax payer was forced to rescue.
