  • I wish we could vote to quarantine people into labeled sections of Lemmy. Everytime Biden does something that represents positive change there’s an influx of begging choosers saying that “he didn’t do enough” or “but what about this!”. He’s cancelled 153 billion with a B dollars in 4 years without having a majority in congress. That’s an exceptional accomplishment. May I remind everyone how much debt on middle class Americans were forgiven of under Trump or Bush or Reagan?

    Biden is up against the most conservative and corrupt Supreme Court panel in history and a republican party that is so determined to torpedo anything that comes to the floor that they booted out their speaker of the house for coming to an agreement on the budget and replaced him with a speaker that they’re threatening to replace for nearly coming to a deal with democrats that would enable the US, for the first time in history, to close it’s borders. The only thing wrong with it was that it took away their boogeyman to campaign on.





  • They even mentioned that they estimated 15M monetized users and 10M recurring media subscriptions. So they’re estimating $1.2B per year for the next 3 years of those 25M users. That’s $48/mo between those 2 types of subscriptions. In the presentation they directly compared themselves to Twitter who charges $11/mo and Netflix, Apple, Disney+, and Amazon who all charge between $4.99 and $8.99 per month for basic service.

    That’s AT MOST $20/mo if all of those users paid for both. Which they dont even claim. So a competitive price for a Twitter blue alternative would net them ~$180M and ~$100M from media subscriptions. Where in the world are they getting the other $920M in their projections?
