The great irony of the Max8 disaster is that all the cost cutting and shortcuts and using software to compensate for a design problem was the result of shareholder primacy management.
The ONLY goal of this management style is to maximize shareholder value.
It backfired spectacularly 🙄.

You actually described Left and Right pretty well. I think the terms are still useful, especially in a historical context.
Getting back to the original post, Communism is on the Left.
Fascism is on the Right.

They don’t use terms like ‘vertical’ and ‘horizontal’ but I think it essentially describes the same thing.
I thought you said the Left-Right political spectrum didn’t exist?

You know how to use Google, right? www.dictionary.com/e/leftright/

During election years, the words left and right often bring to mind the political spectrum than they do directions in space. But where do these associations come from?
