Every day I’m on this Earth, the sheer breadth of human diversity (especially when it comes to thoughts and opinions) continues to astound me.

Certainly not rich enough to host the amount of content it does, or pay content creators what they get paid.
YouTube too. For all the shit we give Google for it, there’s no way it could’ve grown into what it is if it didn’t have all that spare cash to burn.
Honestly, it feels like Google lost the plot (for the most part) almost a decade ago. Android was really the only product that was consistently chugging along; most of their projects have been nothing but premature cancellations, even if the product was actually good (I’m looking at you, Inbox).
Nah, that would’ve spread the company too thin. Apple needed that laser-focus approach they had in the iPhone days, else they’d be dead.
An incredibly rare example of ‘I won’t buy it unless you pay me to’ actually working out in real life.
Yeah, I don’t think anyone’s denying that MS is a shitty company; we’re just talking about companies that have either improved, or haven’t gotten significantly worse, because some other company bought them out.
Great looks and shit everything else would be super on-brand for Jaguar
As others have said, something being stupid in the past doesn’t excuse it being stupid now. And hey, I’d get it if we were still dealing with a couple movies a year, but now it’s a flood of content that nobody can keep up with unless Marvel is their only hobby.
I’m sorry, but She Hulk? Loki was whatever, the Xmas special and BP2 were fine and Guardians 3 was amazing, but really?
Sorry, I know it’s just an opinion but I got severe whiplash seeing that title up there.
How much of it? The world’s largest and most famous billionaires don’t even make up a rounding error in the world’s economy (hell, most countries blow Musk’s entire fortune annually on the dumbest conceivable shit), nor is their money ‘removed’ from it. Hell, the richest people in the world have the vast majority of their wealth tied up in their own company’s stocks, which by definition is money that’s playing an active role in the economy.
Like seriously dude, there’s good reasons to hate billionaires and the current state of the global economy, but at least come up with valid arguments and criticisms that can convince people; otherwise, you’re just blowing hot air that only serves to paint legitimate critics as crazy people.
So what’s your solution to all this? Because if the US is down, you know China will emerge as the next hegemon and they’re magnitudes worse.
Great idea genius, next you’ll tell me that the solution to get rid of human greed would be to get rid of humans!
Complaining about capitalism isn’t an argument.
Oh shit, now I get it. Sorry, didn’t know you were a tankie.
Better that than someone with no substantial argument to make. Maybe take some time to actually learn about how our economy functions? From books I mean, not YouTube videos
Yeah, either lick boots or keep hoping for the downfall of America! No middle ground here, no sir!
That’s such a narrow take. It won’t just be ‘bad temporarily for US citizens’ if the only country that’s a counter to China ceases to be a pre-eminent world player.
Wow, rock solid argument. ‘Yeah, idc if the US economy loses literal trillions if companies like MS and Apple move out! Who cares right?!’
Seriously, thanks for reminding me that, while things are already pretty fucking bleak, we’re still not living in the worst-case scenario.
The blatant misandry that some people carry around like a badge of honor is kinda horrifying, if I’m being honest. It’s almost like they don’t even realize that what they’re doing and how they feel about billions of people is inherently wrong.
