  • And rightly so. The term rent seeking was developed for a reason!

  • Get used to disappointment. 😁

  • Posted it because immediately love it

  • I think I'd want to work for the kind of person for whom ot is a good look.

    Thanks for giving me a huge amount of satisfaction bu proxy.

  • Wonderful?

    I do not think that word means what you seem to think it means.

    Stay safe. 💛

  • IIRC, Enigma got their butts sued off for this.

    Yup, but I could only find it on a GeoCities site. Lol

  • Did you mean to say warehouse?

  • Toys R Us? Dead. Your local newspaper? Dead. That nursing home your grandma lives in? Understaffed and underwater. Your vet, dentist, and urgent care? All owned by a faceless fund that's never touched a patient. The playbook is always the same: buy it, load it with debt, slash costs, collect fees, and bail. Repeat until the entire industry is a husk. Retail, healthcare, housing, media, restaurants, prisons, foster care, nothing is off limits. If it can be financialized, it will be. Anyway, private equity executives are doing great.

    And we definitely shouldn't regulate it because that would totally be communism and we can't have that. /s

  • It will take work to completely supplant and make redundant the current system.

  • I wish there was a way to hold war criminals truly responsible in the moment instead of after they're all done war-crimng.

  • I feel ya. Collective action would seem to be required, but that's herding cats.

  • At this point, I feel the authors and readers need to practice collective action and boycott respectively.

    Not a good time for it, but there's never a good time.

  • You're spot on. They're very much the arsonist fire-fighters in this story.

  • This could only have worked if she'd been blasting out concrete plans to help the middle class since she lost. She hasn't and won't.

    I wish the Democrats would take a hint. They're not going to save us.

  • Maybe time for a different system?

  • Good. May it haunt their souls forever and death being them no peace.

  • Is the simplest solution here not just to leave the ecosystem entirely?

    I had a Kindle type device a long time ago and I decided to get rid of it in favor of something that is much more flexible and can actually handle whatever kind of book I want to put on it.

    Cool Reader.

    Works on win, *nix, and Android. Probably also Mac, maybe ios
