Are there historical examples in the US specifically where we've nationalized a business?

Because we've certainly invaded countries and assassinated leaders over exactly the same.

ETA: I could have answered my own question with two minutes of research. Yes, we have: https://thenextsystem.org/history-of-nationalization-in-the-...

Greg Priest Dorman [0][1] had other physical issues such that he had to regularly switch between sitting, standing, and walking during his workday. His solutions included (in part) some very specialized keypads, but TTS might well have been another solution for someone with similar needs.

Another fellow on my team refuses to write/type anything other than pure code to solve issues at work, but will absolutely talk for hours on end about designs, considerations, issues, what-have-you, so we're actively trying to get him to adopt a TTS-based workflow for knowledge transfer, writing tickets/bugs, etc.

Not open source, but an interesting counterpoint, I think.

ETA: You're not wrong; folk who have specific, legitimate opsec concerns shouldn't be using certain tools. I just initially read your post a certain way. Apologies if it feels like I put words in your mouth.

1) go kinda eliminates a lot of the reasons for style guides to exist w/ `go fmt` and separately, I think the Go readability team made a conscious decision to approach readability differently anyway,

2) ... once you had a couple people on your local team w/ readability, if your team wanted to do things a certain way, well, style guides and formal readability wasn't really an issue anymore.

At the risk of starting a fight... I would point at America's religious history, and the continuing threads of that today that increasingly see scientific/materialist thought as a direct threat to their ideas of how a society ought to be organized.

I'm personally in the habit of answering even slightly complex questions by first establishing shared context - that is, I very carefully ensure that my conversational partner has exactly the same understanding of the situation that I do. I do this because it's frequently the case that we don't have a lot of overlap in our understanding, or we have very specific gaps or contradictions in our understanding.

If you're like many in this industry, you're working in a language other than what you were raised in, making all of this more difficult.
