The irony of a hilariously anti-consumerist lampoon of Amazon being aired on Amazon Prime was not lost on me for this episode

They're also very well crafted to force the narrative down one narrow, black-and-white path.

I actually appreciate this article. I'm not near where I need to be to invest in solar, but the details of the corporate fuckery that goes on in rooftop solar providers is helpful to learn.

Republican politicians live by "I'll be gone, you'll be gone" at the end of the day.

They know the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag.

There didn't even need to be a deliberate cartel for this to happen either.

Amazon realized it could make money and grow the company by offering cloud services and now AWS runs something like 30% of the internet.

Google turned their leading search algorithms into an extensive tracking and advertising platform that integrates with most of the internet.

Apple decided that people don't need to be allowed to tinker with and repair their own devices so that hardware can be locked into a four-year cycle of planned obsolescence.

A whole bunch of profit-maximizing firms did the hard job of controlling everything for the governments.

Have you been living under a rock?

What you're describing is simply the Big Tobacco playbook from the 1950s being adapted into modern communications methods. If we didn't have internet media, I guarantee you we'd still be seeing pandemic misinformation on AM radio and climate change lies on news networks funded by Shell and BP.

Eh, that may play a role for the big firms, but most of the small to mid sized businesses just lease their real estate. They'd realistically come out ahead by downsizing their offices.

I think what we are seeing is management really struggling to adapt and find reliable metrics for performance management as well as to promote employee retention and engagement without the social bonds of an office culture.

Quit making a martyr out of this loser and wannabe terrorist. He deserves to die in obscurity, not have his story told as part of the victim's own tale.

Oh, shut up. There's nothing about discussing the underlying factors that contributed to this woman's death that is in any way disrespectful to the memory of the victim.

If I were to become a deceased victim, be it of crime, disease, or accident, I would want my death to be looked at enough to see if we can find ways to prevent others from suffering my same fate. To do less would be to negate the value behind my passing.

Less false piety, more conversations.

All capitalism is, at its core, is the system of owning and investing capital for greater returns later. You can have that while regulating things--at least in theory.

That headline is doing the murderer's work by literally propagating his anti-LGBT terrorism. Shame on that periodical.

Are tourists being offered refunds on their flights and lodging?
