That's not how that's supposed to work!
Democratically elected governments should have no say as to how many billions of dollars of market activity tech oligarchs are entitled to capture and redirect towards their very noble goal of winning the competition to see who can build the biggest yacht.
And, of course, building bunkers for when enough of the general population eventually catches onto and gets tired of the grift...

- surgical_fire 3mo agoEh, too many people say very similar shit in HN with a straight face. Quite a few here is quite happy to bow to their corporate masters. I can't tell if parent was being sarcastic.
- iso1631 3mo agoI agree, and originally that was my take, until I got to "very noble goal of winning the competition to see who can build the biggest yacht." The simps tend not to say the quiet part out loud
- surgical_fire 3mo agoFair enough, I concede the point. That section was too on the nose.
