The song is awesome, and honestly I think it's amazing that something as public as the Super Bowl is using their platform to give it a voice, but the name is unfortunately divisive.

Phone numbers actually can be an identity, but generally that's just business numbers. There's also a lot of phone numbers that aren't cell phones and can't get texts. It's a lot easier and cheaper for companies to design one system. Depending on the company, they'll still do text/email reminders for things. Old people like phone calls, so companies need to know their audience too. Again, cheaper to build a single system, so that tends to be the default.

The irony is palpable.

What if corporations didn't count as people? If they didn't worship the almighty dollar and put profits over people? Could capitalism work?

No idea, probably not, but I'm not an economist. And humans are notoriously bad at screwing up basically every form of government.

Also, that wasn't my viewpoint, but you gotta admit that a lot of things in life would be better if human nature were completely (positively) different. Our lizard brains are wired for self preservation.

110% agree.

I could say "you know, I guess I can kinda see why people thought free market capitalism would work"

And someone will come out of the woodwork like "I can't believe you think billionaires profiting off exploitation is actually a good idea"

First of all, no? Lol I'm saying I understand why people might think it would work, but for some reason forget that we as a people are generally selfish. Human nature and corruption and all that, people in power hoard power.

We're all entitled to privacy. Idk about you, but I can go about my life in relative anonymity, so even if I'm in public, no one pays attention. She can't do that.

When your weapons are dollars, we are woefully ill equipped

When did I say she's better than us or deserves special treatment?

She's an insanely famous public figure. It's the people who go crazy over her that are the problem. If given the choice between getting trampled by 100 people or taking a private plane, literally all of us would pick the same choice.

Lol problem definitely not solved, that's making her even more public.

People would swarm her. She would probably cause a bunch of delays. She's literally too famous to justify flying commercial.

Edit: she's definitely complaining about someone simply relaying public information, but she can't sit down at a football game without people parking themselves outside the door to the suite she's in. There's no way she could just chill in the back of C group with the rest of us.

I think that's their point, that they don't get equal treatment under the law.

If a lawyer can twist it around, then we never really had the same protections.

Russians and killing their own citizens

Right? What a horrifying metaphor

A feel good story and anon feels the need to announce his beloved's D cups? It's a nice fantasy he's made about some girl that spilled water on him that one time.
