VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI

  • Isn't that what we call "Innovation" in our capitalist society?

    You build a thing. Pour your blood sweat and tears into it. Some VC goon buys it during a downturn. They fire most of the staff. Strip the copper out of the walls. Make the service shittier and shittier until all that is left is its faltering brand recognition then sell it all for a bundle to the very next sucker they can?

  • Are we already past the event horizon?

    Yes. If Israel was forced to stop today and the aid flowed in from across the world it will take generations to rebuild. And there's no replacing the lives lost or history erased. This is a stain that will haunt us for the rest of our lives. And it should. After WWII the world proclaimed "NEVER AGAIN". But clearly that was a fuckin' lie. My taxes pay for this. This is a personal stain on me myself. And a shame that will never go away. And its our job to make sure it never goes away.

    I dare not hope for any kind of justice. The perpetrators will never pay a sufficient price. And I don't just mean the rank and file troopers putting bullets in babies. I mean the financial backers. The social media cheerleaders. The obfuscating politicians.

    I will never compromise on genocide. Not for all the money. Not under threat of death. This is evil. Period, There are no shades of grey here. There is no balance. This is apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleansing. And it is evil. The worst evil that the human imagination has yet to concieve. And its industrialized. People had to work up to this level of depravity.
