  • One-sided

    There is a lot of good information here. But what blows me away is the assumption that every independent author is left-leaning. Either the creators assume that, or they have produced this for only those who have the same “values.” Not inclusive.

There is nothing stating that if you are not satisfied they will force you to sign an NDA before offering any solutions. The... more
