It isn't possible under capitalism. We need global cooperation, not competition. So, we are riding this horse off that cliff. We will evolve through crisis, rather than proactive change.

If you'd invested $100 a month as amazon lost money for years driving 'mom and pop' businesses, starting with those evil bookshop owners, out of business before exploiting monopoly, getting local authorities to pay to host their distribution centres while the employees need food stamps to survive, you'd be rich now. Capitalism works.

Bezos, former hedge fund guy who was given hundreds of thousands from family to start amazon, knows he is despised. He actually personifies the phrase 'shit-eating grin'.

Presumably he had to give 35 presents too.

It goes with the couch.

20 billion years then we're all shafted.

Yeah the industry has been in the shit since credit and debit cards. A homeless guy with a chip and pin device to get donations is completely off-message for the brand

Presumably she wasn't just prepared to ride the beast, she actively wanted to be ruined by it.

She was probably disappointed when the transition happened. She thought she was going to be raw-dogged by the monster.

Data centers have become a major economic development battleground for many states, even though they provide relatively few jobs and consume massive amounts of resources.

But someone gets paid. Just like in developing world countries, it's kickbacks for officials.

I'm happy to be shown I am wrong, but in the meantime let's call it what it is, and isn't. It isn't economic development, it is wealth extraction.

'I'll vote for people who support genocide if they will pass a little bit less publicly owned infrastructure into the hands of private capital' is a pathetic position to take.

It absolutely is not worthy of respect.

Clearly this premise, upon which your further exchanges are based, is complete bullshit.

You are a troll, presumably one for whom any response is a win. It gives you a little dopamine hit.

What a pathetic place to get to. There are a million ways to get a dopamine hit less pathetic than this, including all of the major addictive drugs.

Even opening up a poll on X to see what his users think about the idea...

Presumably the other headline that read '50% of voters' were in favour of this party, should have read '50% of X users who voted in the poll (a potentially large proportion of which were bots owned and controlled ultimately by Elon Musk) were in favour of this party'

1. US (and in fact all 'Western') media is as bent as anything in the former Soviet Union.

2. America certainly is in the hypernormalisation phase. I'm not sure how far behind the UK (and other Western nations media) is because I really don't engage in the media here. But any Murdoch owned media (like Fox in the US) is at the very least poisonous to open and fair democracy, and egalitarian society.
