Almost as if the company is run by sociopaths for whose empathy is a foreign, malign concept. Money and power is the only goal worthy spending energy on, greed

Almost as if the company is run by sociopaths for whose empathy is a foreign, malign concept. Money and power is the only goal worthy spending energy on, greed is good. Bezos is well known for at least some of that.
Damn, we all knew that modern free egalitarian society stands on rather weak legs, 7 days to the wolves and all, but to see it happening in real time is quite something. Like traveling and overall security before 9/11 and after.
I'll tell my kids about these times, in Switzerland we are pretty well shielded from current US madness but no shield is strong enough, US became simply too central, about time to shift balance. I realize bipolar orange man is probably trying to keep the balance in favor of US in upcoming future, but that elephant in porcelain shop approach is just speeding up things against what US should want for itself as a global player. But what do I know, maybe fascist oligarchy dictatorship is a good way for US long term.
- aaronbrethorst 2y agoI can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but a fascist oligarchy dictatorship isn’t good for anyone.
- jwiz 2y agoUsually when people use the phrase, "But what do I know?", it's to flag that they think they probably do know.

- javcasas 2y agoThey usually know, but they also know that their opposing party is willing to use bad faith tactics or outright violence to defend their position, and they are scared to some level.
- dragonwriter 2y agoIt is good for the dictator and oligarchs, while it lasts.
- jajko 2y agoYeah it was sarcasm, a bit. The fact is, we don't know future and whats awaiting 100 years down the line, world is simply too complex to estimate. Maybe losing freedoms in US will shift things in US favor as a country overall in future. But common men like we all here will suffer in some ways, thats inevitable, in US and elsewhere.
- 9dev 2y agoWell, tell that the American constituents, who apparently want just that. That’s what they were promised, what they voted on, it is what they are getting now, and most seem to be fine with it. They don’t care how the rest of the world is affected, they don’t care about the planet they inherit their children, they don’t care their president behaves like the worst bully in school towards foreign leaders and neighbours just alike… maybe that is just what the USA looks like, if the educated folks don’t have enough support anymore to pretend otherwise?
