Funny how something insignificant like this make a big news, but corporates destroying swarths of forests (1) and ecosystem for billions of dollars and get zero or little coverage.. maybe I’m a little cynical but I think we are at the stage of society that it’s ok to attack others as long as they are in the same class as you or even lower, but things take a different turn when they are higher one, and I don’t mean the direct fear of being sued for example, no, even between each other behind closed doors, you don’t see the same anger against corporates/higher classes as it’s against other of the same or lower one, truly sad situation.

- ClumsyPilot 3y agoTo add to class things - there is constand scrutiny towards the lower class labour - they dont want to go to the office, if benefits are too high, noone will work, are they getting paid too much, etc. I have never heard anyone say that investors are lazy and not doing their job. What kind of idiots invest in Theranos without doing due dilligence? Why is infrasteucture lacking investment? Why is more money slocking around speculation instead of the real economy?
