- krapp 2y agoWell, the Ferengi were intended to be a parody of American capitalism. And the tech industry in many ways has turned itself into a parody of American capitalism. And the worst of Hacker News might as well be a parody of the tech industry.
- sgt 2y agoNever mind Twitter these days. I still follow Elon for his rocket stuff but his fanboys are relentless if you criticize him or his universe even slightly. Or criticize aspects of capitalism even, like the one guy who said the purpose of a company is to make an impact, not primarily to make money. I think he was toast after they were done with him.
