Anybody but the weapons manufacturers and investors. I think I heard a popular show say recently “Everything is a product…The end of the fucking world is a product.” The only responsibility any of these people feel is toward their stock prices.
I’m sorry, but Thiel is way above mass murderers and terrorists. Him and his ilk are playing Meat Space Gods. Literally deciding all of our fates with none of our input. They are trapping us against our will every single day. The living embodiment of an eldritch being.
Its because they’re fucken addicted to dark patterns. I want to set firefox as the default. That means any file that edge opens I want Firefox to now open. Except, Microsoft doesn’t do that when you set a different browser as the default. I’d rather it change everything and then I have to change the PDF viewer manually, than have to change six or seven file types manually each time. Thus wouldn’t be an issue if I wasn’t working at my first corporate job, if my manager gave a shit to do anything, and if my company would stop changing everything and breaking my images every other week.
The metric is more money for the shareholders at all costs, right now. Don’t join corporations kids, start worker coops and eat the system from the inside out.
Why are you getting down voted? Its true. I have never worked with or for someone who is even moderately wealthy that isn’t an asshole. Its like a requirement to be rich.
My own is sitting at 60%. The oerson I resoonded to was at 80 when I first commented. Guess some rich people don’t like the question. Thank you for your response. I think I’ll look for some papers that give evidence to that position. I know the citizens of the west do have some responsibility. We were clearly supposed to take action before it got to this point. But a lot of us reaching into adulthood today were born in this world. It was like this when we got here.
I personally see no benefits of inequality in our society, but it seems anyone with power is intent on keeping it this way.
I paid 1000 dollars for an emergency room visit when I was incapacitated by a muscle in my back. Next day, went to the doctor, still had to pay another 150 dollars. He put his hands on my back like he was doing some sort of Vulcan technique. My back was never fixed and I’m afraid to go back and pay more cause I have nothing. I’m on the state plan. It started at 30 bucks a month two years ago, now its 139 bucks a month. Please, shut the fuck up. We need to abolish this system and actually have social programs for this.
Wouldn’t actual data privacy laws stop this all the same? I can’t help but feel this weird song and dance avoiding the privacy argument exists so US companies don’t get in the crossfire for doing the same shit with your data.
No you are absolutely right. Cops should have just stormed the room at that point. But they knew he had a gun and they valued their lives more. A cop’s wife died while he fucken waited.
