That’s the thing, though. Corporations are all about the short game. They don’t give two shits if a cost-saving measure now will end up costing them triple that next year. They don’t care if breaking environmental laws, disposal laws, safety laws, or even labour laws will give them fines in the billions later, so long as they can save millions now.

The corporation as a concept desperately needs to be overhauled if it’s going to survive at all. Problem is: it has massive momentum being as it is, and the entire business environment around the world is extremely hostile to that sort of change. So, effectively, the corpos are gonna push and push and push until something snaps. They just can’t conceive of another way to be.

When something does snap, people are going to die, by violence or negligence or nature saying NO. Then, maybe, we’ll be able to change things.

When you actually win an argument on the internet.

What was the saying? Don’t assume malice when it could be incompetence? Especially when malice requires a John Wick level of shadow organisation?

Might be time for them to change that. See how big Israeli Stalin talks when Father U.S. says “Fair game” to the Middle East. Give them a week to evacuate their innocent civilians first, then step all the way back.

Fucking billions! ONE billion would be enough to never have to work again if you live lavishly! And this irresponsible, pathetic narcissist is having a tantrum because number won’t go up. I actually want to be alone in a room with him tied to a wall and a set of supplies that would make the CIA go pale. Same with every other sociopathic manchild that’s killing us all because ”Durr, number go up,”

I mean, true. It’s just a little weird that a bunch of people whose job it is to keep things from exploding also have the job of making things that explode.

Yeah, for some god forsaken reason, nuclear bombs fall under the jurisdiction of the government’s power plant branch, rather than the military one.

You know… I think naming a spaceship (or any ship, really) after a man who took twenty years to return from his voyage might not be the best idea to avoid jinxing it.

I clicked it out of curiosity, once. It just took me to Google.

He realised something much, much worse about him would be found in discovery, and pled out to keep it secret.
