Sometimes, I think we need to stop blaming just Capitalism, and get more personal. Lots of countries use a Capitalistic system, but still manage to pay workers fair wages, provide free/inexpensive Healthcare, have paid maternity/paternity leave, longer paid vacation, shorter work weeks, ect. We use the word Capitalism like Christians use The Devil, but it's not some dark mysterious force, it is people who are choosing to treat other people like actual garbage, it is people who are making laws, people who are denying rights. The derision with which we speak the name of Elon Musk or Donald Trump, should be universal for rich fuckers who choose profits over people. They shouldn't get to hide behind, Oh, that's just late stage Capitalism. It's a choice for them, and it's a choice for the lobbyists who promote them, and it's a choice for the politicians who put those laws into action.

@RickiTarr We need to be thought of as citizens instead of just consumers.

I cannot describe how far the accuracy of Google search results has fallen into the gutter.

You would search for a term and get news coverage of that topic.

Now, you get at best 2 articles, while the rest is VPN blogs, two random tweets, and a bunch of forums and blog posts that casually mention the search terms ONCE with no relation to the phrase/context in which they were shared.

I'm honestly thinking of ditching Google for Bing or DDG at this point.

Yes, it's literally THAT BAD!

I used to love Google, because of my tendency to use Boolean language for searches.
Are there any other (free) search engines that allow Boolean queries? I’m using DDG but it’s not a great replacement.
