I didn't know that discussing economics was anathema for PLUG. Economics effects Linux and Linux developers. These subjects are bound to come up, we live all live in Arizona. Secondly, I didn't know that you were an official on these matters. Trying to evoke political correctness might score you points in a university classroom, but not here and most certainly not with anyone I respect. So keep telling everyone how utterly intolerable and blasphemous these very important points are. Anyone with half a brain would take that as a clear signal to listen even closer.
Finally, anyone who is filtering or making a point of it is most likely an ignoramus who chooses to close his eyes rather than accept the truth, or even worse is invested in lies. Those people are absolutely dangerous in serious situations and should be avoided in all situations.

And the ideologues completely ignore the point - AGAIN!
There are important issues that need to be discussed, but the PLUG mailing list is NOT one of the places where those discussions should take place. If you choose to ignore the principles that this mailing list adheres to, you will either drive people away or you will find yourself completely filtered out by a large majority of the people who read this list and expect to find good, honest technology discussions.
I guess ignoring everyone else is a hallmark of an ideologue. If they yell louder, or in this case, keep repeating the same irrelevant point, everyone will just have to agree with them.
