You work to strengthen unions and take down capitalism.

Exactly. If you can’t afford an expensive lawyer, the US wants you to lose.

Actually, it’s not only that they want you to lose. It wants the entire system to be so expensive that you can’t even afford to go to court and lose. You have to settle, and don’t have a lot of power determining the terms.

Not because they care about the government. Because they care about hackers.

Creating encryption backdoors for the government means creating encryption backdoors for hackers. Because once encryption is weakened, it’s weakened.

That’s the kind of stupid meme that make people lie to their therapists. It’s already, by far, the number one reason preventing people from actually fixing their problems in therapy.

Reason number one: it’s a publicly traded American company.

Nope.

You’re consuming too much American anti-labor propaganda.

I remember a propaganda a few years back that European countries with decent unemployment compensation made people leave their jobs to stay at home spending their welfare on cupcakes. But these American fake news don’t even try to hide their how American they are, because cupcakes aren’t a thing in many European countries.

When working conditions are getting worse and people are being fired, that’s when you need a union more than ever.

Please, let’s not allow memes.

Any community that allows memes will quickly become 95% worthless memes and 5% useful content.

You say Twitter didn’t lose anything, and then spend a paragraph saying how Elon gained something from it. Elon is not Twitter.

Twitter lost a lot.

This is so American...

"Let me send an SMS, while I ride my horse to go to my bank and do other things that people used to do in 1870."

"Oh, their SMS color is different! I dislike people with a different color than me."

I heard of Bending Spoons because I read an article about an unknown company buying mobile apps, raising prices to insane values, and milking existing customers. Then using that profit to buy another app and repeat.

Than I forgot about them until they bought Evernote.
