- yuretz 1y agoAnd vice versa, many of our societal issues would go away, if companies won't only be concerned about profits. Let's not blame the players for the game rules being flawed.
- Workaccount2 1y agoEveryone is only concerned about profits. The reason corporations are greedy isn't because they just love money, it's because you love money too and those corporations are taking your money. And just like them you care a lot about money too. I'm continually upset that it took me 15 years to realize this.
- spencerflem 1y agoCorporations are way more shameless then people, because they are not people. My needs are met right now, I genuinely don't need any more money. I would take less even if it meant working at a place whose mission I vibe with more. No amount of money would get me to build surveillance devices or slot machines or lie about how much I'm polluting. I pay taxes and vote for candidates that would increase them to better provide for everyone.
- selfhoster11 1y agoWe can, and should, fight a game that is unfair. We should blame players who play the game unironically without acknowledging the harm in some way.
- _Algernon_ 1y agoIt's a bit of a chicken and egg problem though, isn't it? Everything is so enshittified that very little (including news) is worth paying for.
