Unfortunately the inevitable enshitification of our lives by capitalism will continue, even if we remove it from our lives as much as we are able.
What microsoft does to its products, it also does to our governments and civil liberties, social media does to society and democracy, data brokers do to privacy, zillow does to housing security, wallstreet does to economic mobility and financial regulations, etc, etc, etc.
I labelled you “LibZionist” in another thread, and so far you are fulfilling that role swimmingly.
A majority of humans are selfish idiots. You can tell because ((gestures wildly)).
Turns out it was all a ruse to implement mass surveillance, authoritarianism, and fascism.
Epstein didn’t kill himself… and one of his closest “friends” was the US president.
The one where fascism lives
It’s funny how fascisms actions involve price gouging, scamming, and screwing workers at every single opportunity.
All our freedoms are for sale to the highest bidder.
The problem is not whether my actions are questionable, but that you have no right to question or investigate my actions without evidence or just cause.
and most importantly of all, you can’t guarantee that the state, its secret police, and the oligarchs who own them aren’t criminals and psychopaths; nor can you guarantee that they never will be.
Proving that the problem isn’t the CEOs; it’s the controlling shareholders (aka capitalists). Non-owner/founder/investor CEOs (the majority of CEOs) are hired and fired at the will of the controlling shareholders, so are more like high paid whores, whereas the controlling shareholders are the capitalists demanding the suffering and horrors for ever increasing profits.
Remember, the vast majority of the stock market is controlled by the richest 0.1%, something like 90% of stock is owned by the richest 10-20%, and the poorest half own nothing.
Fascist speech absolutism at work
Firebombing Teslas is patriotic in this one
Don’t give her credit. She is head fascist propaganda operative. She’s knows she’s lying every time her lips move. She’s as much the antichrist as Trump.
Both Canada and Australia resoundingly rejected Conservatism in federal elections in the last week.
The best defense is education and secularism.
At this point all American corporations are a threat to global security
It’s only like 1/4th-1/10th Zucks wealth. When you’re a billionaire the rules are made up and the points don’t matter. They’ll be fine.
I’m not doubting the complexity. I’m doubting capitalisms ability to properly fund and plan the necessary redundancy of critical infra.
The problem you describe is not the same as mine. That’s an IT/DevOps problem I am extremely familiar with, and planning for spikes in usage is much simpler than battery backup and independent power. Internet services can scale extremely well these days. That’s a solved problem.
The point is that critical infra should be architected to handle this type of scenario.
That sounds like Microsoft bribed the shit out of SK 20 years ago.
But, yeah… Elect monkeys, get circus.
You’d assume the critical “energy grid management systems” to have battery backups at a minimum, but also solar or some other independent power supply.
No different to IBM cataloging the jews for the nazis. Capitalism only cares about profit. Concepts such as mortality and morality are irrelevant, beyond the profits they can generate, the risks they pose to profit margins, etc, etc.
