The consequences so far have been a warm feeling on hearing the news but I’m starting to doubt that feeling. Shawty, are they playing me like a fiddle?

Shopping trolleys are a rich source of materials for the aspiring welding fabricator. Road signs can also be good but they get banged around.

It’s the business model that shareholders love and seems to be fairly ubiquitous. Eventually these corporations undergo trial by anti trust as their influence becomes increasingly toxic e.g. Google. The concentration of power into the hands of a few people is a problem with large hierarchies generally, ordinary people end up doing whacky stuff on the whim of someone that you never meet or know in any meaningful way.

I’m confused, I thought they didn’t like each other? Almost as if it’s all fake sentiment and the real game is the corporate sponsorship. Watching Obama yuck it up with Trump lately was a slap in face. Holy shit, could it be any more obvious. You already have alternatives to the status quo, just vote for them.

First past the post is not democracy, it’s kleptocracy.

Feeling concern for the welfare of a corporation is a lot like caring for a lion or some other large predator. You don’t want to see it suffer but you know that it could turn on you at any moment, when it’s convenient for them.

We are wistful for the days when our biggest problem was getting rid of kings and queens. Our first order of business is getting rid of bigots and racists. Then we can focus on alleviating the stranglehold of business, which will clear the path for dealing with climate change and investing in our health and education.

Who gives a fuck about the travails of corporations on the internet?

English people. The Scottish, Welsh and Irish mostly disapprove of the monarchy. Very few people aside from the English actually like these people. I guess that goes with the territory of being a billionaire family for hundreds of years.

How big are your pockets?

What’s wrong with limiting social media to Lemmy? I like it here.

Jokes on you, I already watch them at 0.5x speed

I would not argue against that. Two steps forward and one back is usually how it goes with technology. Reliability is the problem that has only been achieved relatively recently. I remember a time when the hard shoulder was full of stalled vehicles. Japanese cars from the 70s and 80s were notably inferior to their competitors. We’ve come a long way in making this technology polished and affordable to the masses. Now the science shows us it is contributing to climate change and we have a new challenge. So it goes.

Car companies hate this one trick.
