Is Well There’s Your Problem very leftist?

YMMV. The crew feels like the left-most fringe of /r/neoliberal if you aged them 20 years, gave a few of them actual experience in civil/architectural engineering rather than just State Uni B-school, and shaved off the knee-jerk hatred of Bernie Sanders / Jeremy Corbyn.

I got more of a politically uninvolved vibe, so I got bored

They tend to be more on the technical side of the FALGSC spectrum, so you get less "this is the politician/union leader who you should be organizing with" and more "this is the highly technical reason why you shouldn't let your nation's largest failson administer the construction of a transcontinental railway".

I enjoy it because I'm genuinely interested in the science/engineering/math behind a lot of these industrial scale failures. It is cathartic, particularly when I'm grinding through my own workplace engineering/accounting crisis of the day.
