I agree with your general sentiment. But at some point you have to start looking at this type of thing as a feature, not a bug. I read all of this terrible news and I think "Wow, things seem to be going as planned for the small few that have been given (i.e., are ordained with) the ability to plan things"

- ForHackernews 6y agoSince when are small business owners "the people"? As of 2012, only 21.5% of small businesses even employed anyone; 73.5% of them were sole proprietorships.[0] Most Americans don't work for these companies.

- ralston3 6y agoDevil's advocate (again, I agree with you but just for the sake of hearing you out) -- What makes you think the govt is suppose to support the people at massive scale? Last time I checked most (or at least the great majority of those that dominate and survive) organized governments were put together for the purposes of serving a few elite. ;) again, I agree with you
