Or the flipside of the metaphor, powerful governments "doing something that would make them leave" is making the decision to be an abuser.
The parent comment is suggesting perhaps abusing capital/entrepreneurs is a bad idea.
- ilovetux 8y agoYes, it is almost an opposite form of abuse and definately worth consideration. I do not think abuse is a good idea in any form. Another form of abuse is exploitation which is closer IMO to our current economic situation. Less powerful earners do not usually have an opportunity to negotiate terms, they are take-it-or-leave it options which is not necessarily the case with more powerful earners. I routinely negotiate contracts to get the best possible terms for everyone, I wish I had that option earlier in life. This is earily similar to Terms of Use and other agreements between consumers and large tech companies. I wonder when this trend started.
