Bahahaha I felt that I didn’t have to add /s to the end of that, I was obviously wrong…
My take? The issue I have with the mega rich is that they (generalization here) aren’t playing by the same rules as you or I. I don’t have an issue, with not paying all of your employees 6 figures. Different jobs, skills, training, and capabilities are (and should be) worth different amounts of money. It’s important that people with good ideas, or business capabilities have avenues of expanding, bettering themselves, and enjoying the fruits of their labor.
When you pay money to write rules that are favorable to you, you become the problem. Money in politics is the problem. Imo, that has enabled all of this. Don’t have good healthcare? Likely it was lobbied for because someone wanted more money. Stuck in prison? Oh yeah, money in politics got you there. Minimum wage hasn’t kept up with inflation? Something, something trickledown-bullshit, money in politics. Kids killed in school constantly? Oh you know…FUCKING MONEY IN POLITICS.
Favorable can be lobbying against health & safety or environmental regulations because it impacts your bottom line. It is donating to political campaigns for tax cuts (you know, fucking bribery). It’s blocking minimum wage hikes to secure your bottom line.
All of that said, how people sleep at night with absurd amounts of money and minimal charity is disgusting. I don’t fault someone for enjoying an oppulant lifestyle…I do fault someone for Scrooge McDucking and hoarding cash…for what? Bragging rights? Power?
TLDR: be gaddamn ethical about it.
That’s not a dog…it’s a raccoon! Oh my god, look at that raccoon wearing a hat!
But if they lose money they can’t invest it and create jobs.
Bahaha nice catch.
That is absolutely hilarious. They should’ve offered him @twitter in exchange, it would only be fair…
10:10 wholesome response.
Just blocked the reddit@lemmy.world and my feed is soooo much better.
Really frustrating that all of those above was spammed into all of those communities.
Just rewatched this with my wife the other day, such a good movie!
This is the most interesting one I’ve read so far.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe this year is the year I make the same jump. Really good, practical use of the tool.
How likely is a federated threads going to be used to harvest data for whatever advertising or AI purpose meta has?
Aside from ensuring their launch product has immediate content, the only reason meta would do this is for that $$.
That said, it could be a symbiotic relationship with instances who’s users aren’t super worried about that & find value from the addtl content it will surely bring.
Wholesome AF. Enjoying the discussion.
