Probably worth pointing out Time is owned by a tech Billioniare

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…

Put another way: non-partisan is a political stance

Unintentional haiku?

Yep Jellyfin offline download only shows on web for iOS and Swiftfin isn’t there either. Great project overall but this is my biggest drawback.

Very well put. Obfuscating these facts is part of the objective for any billionaire media owner - and it’s clearly paying off.

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

The oligarchs’ vision for ‘choice’

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.

Same experience every time I’ve gone only repair cost is always more than 50% of the cost of replacement.

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.

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

Almost like it was planned!

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.

100%. That is how public services work (for the person you replied to).

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)
