  1. that guy is a true american hero. if you think you're too good to hold a plunger, then you don't deserve to be in charge of anyone.
    3100
  2. WHY ARE WE STILL ALLOWING GIANT MERGERS! If you already have more than 10% of the market, or are publicly traded, or are worth over 500m, you should be completely disqualified from all mergers and acquisitions.
    1900
  3. remember when you were a kid and you thought hospitals, ERs and ambulances were public services, not privately run corporations? good times...
    1300
  4. MAKE PRICE FIXING ILLEGAL AGAIN
    990
  5. we don't, but it helps rich people make more money
    822
  6. why would a company accept responsibility for anything? they shouldn't be expected to, they should be made to.
    510
  7. Businesses should not be allowed to own residential property. Houses are for humans, they should be owned by humans.
    417
  8. holy shit, they make you pay to advertise or your game is guaranteed to fail, plus they steal 70%?!?! that should just be straight up illegal, especially in a kids game.
    327
  9. yeah he clearly has 0 idea what the actual median american is
    324
  10. People wouldn't donate money to campaigns if it didn't have an influence over the results. But they do, therefore it does. Which means our country is not a democracy, it is not controlled by democracy, it is controlled by money.
    251
  11. lets not blame the buttons. it's the legal system that's broken. it shouldn't be possible for them to take away your rights through a contract. you can't make a legal contract that makes murder legal. so why can they make a contract which makes taking away your right to justice or privacy legal?
    229
  12. you know your justice system is broken when people try to convince you to plead guilty to a crime you didn't commit because you're going to lose anyway
    182
  13. why is the government actually working this year
    109
  14. this is the revolution. a revolution happens when it makes a corporation more money, not when it makes products better for consumers.
    106
  15. some are, just gotta be rich
    106
  16. the main problem with AI writers is that execs have already proven they dont care about writing and are terrible at telling good from bad. so they wont even be able to tell the difference between a crappy AI script and a great handwritten one. so not only will there be less jobs for writers, the writing for every show and movie will get even worse than they already are (which is pretty bad most of the time).

  17. elon only cares about other people using his ai training data, because he sees that it has value. that's why he made the api paid only. he does not care about protecting his users, he just wants the exclusive rights to take advantage of them himself
    98
  18. they love using it, not contributing to it. they're like people who go to potlucks but dont bring anything.
    77
  19. what we need to realize is that when corporations have complete control over the market, the market is just as far from being free as it would be if the government controlled everything. a fair market requires heavy regulation to keep things fair and prevent manipulation.
    66
  20. "economy" is another word for the wallets of the wealthy. it has nothing to do with the lives of most americans.
    64
  21. it's pretty crazy, a business model where the customers do all the work for free, and you keep all the money they generate! oh wait, that's every single social media website... we seriously need to rethink the internet so people get to keep the money they earn and it doesn't all just go to a megacorporation who uses it to pay shareholders instead of improving the platform.
    60
  22. your healthcare is their wealthcare
    57
  23. i think it would be the most impactful change we could make to not only our democratic system, but our entirely country. fixing this would allow us to fix a lot more.
    52
  24. will that really help? they want to play the games all their friends are playing. how about you just teach them not to work for free, and don't give them robux
    51
  25. that's always been the case for delivery drivers too. it's an okay wage until you factor in how you're degrading your car, then it's probably less than minimum wage. and you definitely arent making enough to buy a new car.
    50
  26. how about fucking 0? there should be no such thing as rental companies. houses should be owned by humans.
    45
  27. who would have thought a country built on genocide and slavery could be this heartless
    45
  28. the only reason it still is is because it makes it harder to quit, which makes it easier to abuse employees and underpay them
    43
  29. our "democracy" has been a joke from the start. we've always done as much as we can to take away voting rights or the efficacy of voting from as many people as possible.
    40
  30. capitalism demands everything that can be commoditized be commoditized
    40
  31. that's every corporation in america
    38
  32. finally people are starting to see who the real enemies of the people are
    36
  33. doesn't matter which party, if you vote against a working class person, you are voting against yourself.
    35
  34. if they actually cared about "price control" then they'd oppose the corporation that's literally controlling the price. just because it's not the government doing it doesn't mean it's not harmful.
    35
  35. this is capitalism. it allows business to be created and survive on just capital, when they are not actually a profitable business. they are then able to grow faster than a real company would, which means their value goes up, which is how the investors make money. this continues until they run all the real businesses that cant compete and capture the market. then they cash in and enshittify. capitilism is not a fair system that rewards good business, it's just a tool for wealthy people to abuse our economy and extract money from the poor and extinguish small business, without having to have good useful products that can actually compete.
    35
  36. he's never heard of a smaller number
    33
  37. this
    32
  38. we're too busy focusing on undoing what the last president did, and arguing about whether we should regulate people's personal decisions
    32
  39. just like houses, companies shouldn't be able to own them at all. individuals only.
    32
  40. housing.
    32
  41. and universal health care. you shouldn't be trapped at a job just because you're afraid to lose the ability to see a doctor
    30
  42. that shit needs to go yesterday.
    30
  43.  @youraftermyrobotbee  that's fine. everything should cost more and last longer. getting cheap crap that breaks quickly is just scam, you end up paying more over time.
    27
  44. that is and always was the goal for every capitalist.
    26
  45. yeah we really need a new department that focuses solely on consumer food. the FDA and USDA do not cut it.
    25
  46. it does lots of good for the billionaire shareholders and ceo's
    24
  47. yeah we need that more than anything in america right now
    24
  48. over-capitalism is the goal of capitalism, not a flaw, it's the point.
    23
  49. amen
    23
  50. they should stop trying to live in a city then. there's still plenty of places to live outside of cities that aren't absurdly expensive. and whaddya know theres some jobs there too.
