Jacobs 5/31 ~Lionel; Senior Security Architect in the Palo Alto Networks ICS and SCADA solutions team. Coming from the asset-owner side, Lionel has spent more than 20 years working in the IT/OT environment, with a focus on ICS systems design, controls, and implementation. He was a pioneer in bridging the IT-OT security gap and implementing next-generation security into performance and safety-critical process control areas. During his tenure, he successfully deployed a large-scale ICS/SCADA security architecture composed of over 100 next-generation firewalls, hundreds of advanced endpoint protection clients, and SIEM, distributed over dozens of remote plants and a centralized core, all based on a "Zero Trust" philosophy.

The fractured nature of the subject leaves one oriented around the mastery of a lost object- recognizing the right to strike is an attempt to satisfy this loss with an investment into the notion of dignified work
ungovernability but as constitutive elements of a new grammar of autonomy and liberation.
This cultivates into a politics of melodrama- threats to the current biopolitical ordering register as wounds on the individual level- that encourages violent redemption and the policing of non-virtuous citizenship

Interpretation: The affirmative may not advocate for specific governments
"A" is an indefinite article that modifies "just government" in the res – means that you have to prove the resolution true as a whole, not in a particular instance

AND
the former (see beagle sentence) refers to all members of that class
Standards:
~1~ precision – the counter-interp justifies them arbitrarily doing away with random words in the resolution which decks negative ground and preparation because the aff is no longer bounded by the resolution. Independent voter for jurisdiction – the judge doesn’t have the jurisdiction to vote aff if there wasn’t a legitimate aff.
~2~ limits – there are over 150+ governments in the world, explodes limits since there are tons of independent affs plus functionally infinite combinations, all with different advantages in different political situations like Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Holy See, Liechtenstein, Palau, all with less than 100k people— Kills neg prep and debatability since there are no DAs that apply to every aff. K2 fairness because if there are infinite limits for the aff I can never predict what they’ll advocate for.
