- Comment on Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman among billionaires investing in 'Freedom City' to be built on Greenland 6 days ago:
it is 100% a tax-avoidance scheme, they occasionally spend that $ wisely…that $ would 100% be more effeciently spent if done via a properly coordinated/supported government effort.
that being said…in the Land of the Free…considering how shit is run I 100% understand why so many of these people keep as much of their $ as possible out of the feds hands. the ratfucking doesn’t stop when Dem’s are running things, it’s just slightly better hidden.

i can’t tell if alot of these answers are sarcastic or not…
i know social media as a whole is predominantly affluent rich people with top much time on their hands, so maybe thay’s just what this demographic is about idk. but surely these people know if you coddle too much the second these kids leave the nest they’re going to make an absolute shitload of mistakes
better to make those mistakes young in relatively controlled environment, teach critical analysis/how to avoid scams/watch out for predatory behavior etc. than to try and pretend it doesn’t exist through a walled garden
you can’t stay in the garden forever, at some point someone is either escaping, breaking in, or the walls just crumbling down

- Comment on Amazon angers retailers by listing products from other sites without consent 1 week ago:
cause it’s a monopoly?, and that’s how they work?
amazons whole business plan is undercutting popular items by contacting suppliers/manufacturers behind the scenes to capture any new trends, you either have to have a very strong moat/control of your suppliers etc. or you will get boxed out by cheaper amazon brand eventually.
