Great views up at the top of the tower
I was lucky(?) enough that the volcano was going off whilst I was up there a couple of years ago and got some great pictures
The chances of a true philanthropist beating out the psychopaths currently at the top of the chain, is basically nil. They will always fight dirtier.
You need to ensure a government can exert power over the largest organisations in its country. If that ever becomes an issue, the organisation might start behaving as a de facto government of its own and start treating the actual government as a vassal.
Basically we need to kick corporatist politicians out of our governments before they finish rolling out the red carpet for the end of democracy, and start chopping up and/or nationalising these proto-megacorps. If only a few control the tools that put us all out of work, we're not getting anything close to utopia.
And I suppose I'll continue my plan of staying the hell away until this administration is long gone
This feels pretty hard to enforce, are they gonna let people self select what they provide or are they perhaps going to give a list of services to give accounts for? The latter would have me looking either like a ghost that disappeared about 7 years ago (for most public social media) or one that disappeared about 3 years ago (if Reddit is included)
What happens to people who don't use social media at all? Are they going to be treated with suspicion?
Especially back before online shopping existed
That bastard again?!
Davis says the administration is reviewing the academy's operations, and he is hopeful it will restore classes. If not, he says, he'll see the administration somewhat differently.
"It will change my outlook to say that they're not being fair,"
Hahahahahahaha
Holy shit, I did my equivalent of this class over 2 decades ago and I remember this bloody joke.
Whoever wrote that book has got a lot of mileage from it
Edit: oh the screencap is older than a decade lol
