Seems like a good example of how running a company for the shareholders doesn’t produce a a better product after all.

I think it’s more for major shareholders (which includes CEOs, of course)

Probably worth pointing out Time is owned by a tech Billioniare

Privatize the profits, socialize the losses…

Shutting down polling stations in democratic areas has been part of the disenfranchisement strategy to-date. I’m sure this policy is one step of a few to try and permanently take power…

Once you start looking into the products you buy, you may find it’s harder to do than you’d hope. This guy is just more incompetent at keeping quiet about it than most.

CEOs sometimes think like this, but they seem to forget how much more they are paid when it comes up.

Put another way: non-partisan is a political stance

This is an unfortunately normal perk for c-level execs at major corporations. I’d be surprised if Starbucks only had one. He also most certainly has a driver (likely with military experience), and an apartment at the Ritz or similar in Seattle - all covered by the company.

I think a gladiator style squishy poles match on a delicate island would work well too!

By that logic, surprised it wasn’t Netanyahu

It’s worse than that - this election was a major win for billionaires, the DNC’s donors that call the shots and decide who gets on the ticket and the same group that backs the GOP’s ticket. The difference in the candidates is a reflection of the range of preferences within the billionaire class. That’s why we can’t get exciting progressive candidates. That’s also why we see so many articles blaming voters or blaming a side - the division keeps people focused elsewhere. Billionaire-owned and managed media (propaganda) keeps them out of the spotlight. Kamala was the far better candidate but she lost because the more hateful of the billionaires put their funds into setting up a false choice (a vote either way is a vote for the billionaires) and then poured on the gas to get the other guy in office.

Just want to charge with default case closed

The oligarchs’ vision for ‘choice’

Thanks for the rec. Beyond the disturbing yet unsurprising lying and manipulation, it’s striking how out of touch Andreesen is. Just where his head is at to begin with is… wildly disconnected from the reality most Americans live with. Billionaires should not exist.

He’s looking for more bribes. ‘Pay me, or else.’

This seems like good news for the owner class: Higher national debt? Yay, we’ve socialized our losses. Public dissatisfaction? Great, keep people distracted from the actual problem (us).

Seems like the owners are getting what they hoped for.

Love the idea of expanding the usps. Also think they could be a more sustainable Amazon with reusable packaging, quality staple goods, and fairly-paid & well-treated employees!

If only…
