We give these companies hard earned fucking cash and they want _more_. Rapacious neoliberal capitalists will be the end of capitalism itself.

People were mad. Remember the Snowden leaks and PRISM program from NSA? [1] In fact, Apple began to adopt “privacy” first marketing due to this fallout. Apple even doubled down on this by not assisting FBI with unlocking a terrorist suspect

If you care about privacy and security of your data, you aren’t using public services from Apple or Google, or “big tech” anyways. I always thought of “cloud” services to be a sham. I only trust them with transient data or junk data anyways

I’m still surprised Ryan Cohen still holds a CEO position at GameStop. Besides the brief run up in GME during 2021 (unrelated to performance) leading to short positions getting obliterated, performance of that company has been pretty awful

Normalization of this existential dread is a direct result of the fundamental shift of power from labor to capital. Our safety nets have been ripped away from us. Leaving us with this awful choice of working with shitty employers. In some c

This is the intended outcome from neoliberal parasites like Thiel and Musk. They want public government to look like an absolute joke so private corporations can take over with zero regulation and extract as much profit/wealth.

All of this while the idiots are pushing a $4.5T in tax cuts. Neoclassical economics and neoliberalism will be the downfall of capitalism itself.
