- Comment on YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report 2 days ago:
Just because interests align with the wellbeing of the public doesnt make a company moral. You back a few years ago and Tesla started by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning to push Electric cars and battery tech and thus would get us off fossil fuels. We all for the most part think of that as a good thing and look at them now.
The problem is companies by design eventually get big enough that the people in them don’t truly care of the mission of the company. Most people do what they need to do to keep their job and when you have enough people doing that in the micro where they dont see it as immoral, but it adds up at the maco to some really immoral stuff.

Everyone needs to remember regardless where they are based out of a multinational corporation is just that multinational. So they will do what they have to do to curry favor with a powerful government for corporate kick backs.
Plus regardless of how wrong it is the the people of the United States told the world what they want when the majority elected these clowns not only by the electrical college but also the popular vote. So companies are going to respond to what they perceive is what their markets want.
I hate it as much as the next human with even a little empathy but it’s how the world works right now. Just like with countries, companies don’t have morals they have interests. So there is no good or bad companies only whats in their interest at the moment.

Do you think they are going for a Trelane version of the Pah-wraith? I like the episode overall but it did feel a little like the script came from a D&D session.

One big thing you missed was create a homestead housing tax system that taxes the hell out of you if you own a home you don’t live in. This incentivizes landlords to drop properties and for homeowners to purchase homes. It will crash the housing market but also Make a law that forbids home ownership to a corporate entity. To get the stockmarket out of home trading.

- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 2 weeks ago:
its all about setting your boundaries being able to say thats enough for today. being able to ask yourself if what you are listening to is new facts being relayed to you or is it speculation to fill air and stop listening if it’s the latter.

yeah caused you know what boys had 50 years ago strong Unions. Today your only chance of making it is by scamming kids and lonely people out of their money by creating a parasocial relationship with lots of people like some kind of prostitute.

- Comment on Two-hour screen time limit and curfews for children being considered by government 3 weeks ago:
my thing is the government needs to be authoritarian with companies on behalf of the people and very liberal with people directly. corporation are not people and are not subject to the human rights and freedoms. its only way to curtail exploitation and ensure those types of actions can have consequences.

Rachel: There’s no way we can link the gun to Maroni, so we won’t be able to charge him with anything, but the fact that they’re trying to kill you means that we’re getting to them.

They don’t even need to be creative minded just not short sighted fiscally. If they leave the shower in a good place people will tend to watch it more than once. That means buying more copies of it or staying subscribed to a steaming service that caries it and that means licensing rights pay day down the line.

Nope that’s where the acceptance comes into play. You just find a country that works best for you if you can or anywhere that will take if you are trying to escape persecution.

My thought is when it comes to communication it’s always best to be clearly understood by the greatest amount of people in your audience. The flourish of your language/ vocabulary should come secondary.
