So...what I’m hearing is we should abolish CEOs? Yeah, I could get down with that.

Or we could just pay people more and tell CEOs to shut up and sit down when they start their bellyaching.
Apple and Amazon are no better...
I don’t know, A24 seems to not spend a gazillion dollars on the films they produce, and many of them were pretty successful. Maybe people just want to see movies that actually say something than the-same-plot-as-the-last-500 superhero movies or whatever derivative bullshit we’ve seen a million times before that the…
Revolution. You do that via revolution. It's messy, sure, but when they don't care if you live or die and they hold all the resources...
Good. Let them all drop dead from being dinosaur aged and then break Disney up. The media consolidation that's been taking place is strangling the very medium it works in. Screw all the businesses and turn them into co-ops.
“What they’re asking for us RIDICULOUS! Yes, I do make tens of millions of dollars I won’t do anything with for doing fuck all almost every day of the year, but these people are RIDICULOUS! I mean, if I have to pay them more I MIGHT GET A PAY CUT!!! How do you expect me to buy another yacht or afford my private jet if…
Why is everything in Australia intent on killing everyone?
Please tell me you've got this in production already!
Also, let’s not forget that rockets also need cryogenics to keep their fuel stable. You can see that almost the entire exterior of “Starship” is coated in frost as it sits on the test pads and whatnot. So now you’re blasting water straight up in the direction of the engines, and that water is going to be instantly…
I was in college in St. Augustine and even I heard the shuttle taking off once! Even THAT far away it was loud; I can’t imagine what is was like much closer. It was cool seeing the huge trail of fire behind the vehicle and watching it turn as it maneuvered on ascent. I don’t think people realize how goddamn huge the…
Now, I’d be happy if my town had a fleet of autonomous public electric mobility pods to take me to and from my doctor’s! I have a BUNCH of chronic health problems, one of them being glaucoma. My eyesight isn’t great on a good day, and forget driving at night. If we had an actual tax structure in the shithole we call…
Does anyone actually believe Microsoft?
I think it’s also a matter of safety too. We all know parasocial relationships can quickly turn to dangerous obsession. Not having your face known to the world is an extra layer of protection.
Same. I’ll be 40 next year and, yeah, I’m fucking old. HOWEVER, I tend to leave the kids alone; they’re largely fine. Actually, if you sit and really listen to kids these days most of them are really kind, empathetic, and concerned for others. They’re really with it and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do when…
Ouch! Stone cold. Absolutely brutal.
This, except I think it’s a little more nuanced than “they didn’t test it”. The sad thing is they probably did and the bean counters said, “I don’t care. Push it out or we’ll get sued for breach of contract from the license holder of Lord of the Rings. We can’t be bothered to negotiate a continuance or anything else…
New to reading...?
Fine, maybe it’s not LITERALLY holding someone hostage, but it’s very clearly coercion. Jesus, people and trying to play word games when the intent is pretty damn obvious...
Abolish CEOs and billionaires, workers rise up, democratize the workplace, and finally, EAT THE RICH! ✊
