remind me is Samsung's source subsidies also regularly attacking every country's telecoms and infrastructure
- 361994752 8mo agois CXMT attacking every contry?
- throwaway290 8mo agoits owner and boss but sure if they are ordered to they will, good point too;)
- vkou 8mo agoHow many countries has China bombed in, say, the last year, and how does that compare to the other superpower (and the washed out has-been superpower) in the room? It's difficult to comprehend the gall and hypocrisy requires to kvetch about this when there are four carrier strike groups sitting in the Gulf right now.
- throwaway290 8mo agowhat are you talking about? since when Samsung suddenly become American? how many did South Korea bomb?
- yehat 8mo agodude, you're way too excited. I understand your sentiment, but it applies for everyone these days. Just depends which propaganda you like more.
- throwaway290 8mo agoare you saying I'm wrong or what?) let's recap. someone said Samsung feeds of subsidies so it's equally bad, I said no their government isn't as aggressive/imperialist, then multiple whataboutists started to imply I'm wrong because USA (not Samsung's gov by the way) is just as bad, and now you say... what exactly I don't even know. still waiting for someone to give me an actual argument and not just downvotes.
- bhouston 8mo agoI've heard that Samsung's business practices can be quite predatory. Basically if you have cool tech and you try to sell it to Samsung, you'll often get a few meetings and then they will go silent and then what you were trying to sell them will be offered by them as a new product about a year later. At least this was the situation like a decade ago. I think this is because they are a huge conglomerate and there are divisions and groups that specialize in everything and their (Samsung) culture is to do everything as much as possible in house.
- throwaway290 8mo ago> you'll often get a few meetings and then they will go silent and then what you were trying to sell them will be offered by them as a new product about a year later This is how business works anywhere. there are no charities. whatever you say to investors or suppliers they can use so you better be careful have lawyers and set up correctly. (The caveat is of course when Chinese companies do this your lawyers can do nothing while in a developed country you can have some recourse) But even if Samsung was super predatory business wise it is beside the point. if they both get subsidies and de facto are close to their governments then you have to look at what their governments do. If you like what CCP is doing, it's your choice
- jodrellblank 8mo ago> “This is how business works anywhere. there are no charities.” England and Wales have 171,000 registered charities. The USA has 1.6 million charities. Not everyone is a business sociopath.
- throwaway290 8mo agoSo try to sell your high tech product to literal charity next and see what they offer. As you can imagine after this thought experiment, we're not talking about literal charities. If you want to make money don't be surprised they also want to make money. If it is financially better to build it themselves they will, or they will tell their friends. Pro tip: don't tell them enough. Just like in China if they can take your product and slap their own label and sell it at 50% discount they will.
- erxam 8mo agoYou mean the US? Yeah, they are.
- throwaway290 8mo agosorry forgot Samsung is a US company
