I added it because it is the subject we are discussing. Your comments are vaguely coherent but have no real point.

Unchecked corporate power is THE problem and corporations are a small club of people of a specific demographic with a history of protectionism and shady dealings to protect their power.

It is perfectly valid to point out the root cause of problems, in this case the corporate cabal that needs to be dismantled.

CEOs are factually and demonstrably overwhelmingly white males, far out of proportion to general demographics. Since when did pointing out a statistical fact become divisive?

Not a great case if you really think about the implications, unless they legislatively make human drivers completely illegal. There’s an even better case for just investing in mass transit to get more personal cars off the roads, and encouraging other modes of personal transport auch as bicycles.

I am just not interested in helping to build a world with a panopticon in my personal car.

Yeah, what’s this meme about? I use Docker on a pi 4 with 8gb of ram to run Home Assistant and Paperless-ngx, plus some simple out-of-container home network monitoring scripts. The little guy rarely uses all the cores.

“Could you BE any more leet?”

‘They’ do want it to happen. Ordinary USians are gettng uppity and need to be taken down a peg.

The global elite don’t really need anything specific from the US anymore. For a brief moment, the world needed our higher education system, which is why anyone under 60 who went to grad school had lots of non-US folks in their cohorts. Those folks have gone back home in large part so there are plenty of skilled experts in critical fields internationally.

The US has no remaining unique resources, be they skilled people or natural resources. So we need to be dealt with since many of us still hold on to quaint notions like ‘freedom’, ‘autonomy’ and ‘living wage’.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

Remember that one time Jesus lost his cool? He made a whip and went H.A.M. on some crypto bros in the temple.

So yeah….

I hope Zelensky goes back to comedy after his political career. So much source material!
