On the one hand, I want to see more competition but on the other I'm afraid after a 1-2 year period of lower prices, big fish will win out and we're just going to see more nationwide monopolies form in different industries. I wish we had stronger anti-trust laws in place. :/
The ones they've done recently about Trump's threats to Canada are even better than the PP one. The TikTok one was also pretty funny, but that's partly because the comment section has very obvious bot comments accusing THH22M of campaigning for the Liberal party even on a video that has almost nothing to do with politics.
This horrible for sure, but it's worth noting they just made it so there are no on-paper repercussions for industry poisoning people. Poor people in rural areas have been getting poisoned (and/or driven from their homes) all along. Major media and unfortunately even EPA officials (as we saw for East Palestine) seem to just ignore or bury it most of the time, similar to the treatment environmental activists have reported when there's an oil spill/leak and media don't want to touch it. Here's the latest example I've heard about recently. (I'm not specifically trying to follow this stuff incidentally, but I'm always interested in who corporate media tend to ignore or treat unfairly.)
Scrolling Lütke’s Twitter feed, you’re likely to find a bunch of Shopify boosterism mixed with an embrace of far right-wing political ideas.
In recent weeks, he’s called for Canada Post to be gutted, positioned himself as “anti unions” that threaten his customers’ livelihoods, and opposed the right to strike.
He has also praised Trump’s threat to enact 25 per cent tariffs on Canada, stating that the U.S. is “within its rights” to do so. He has retweeted posts calling for social support programs to be cut because “Canada spends billions on illegals, asylum and refugees.” And he’s generally spread right-wing misinformation about the state of Canada and the world.
We already have too many narcissistic leaders everywhere because they can be superficially charming and build up loads of useful connections. It makes sense to have a cut-off for who gets funding at all, but they should all get the same amount of exposure.
Sooo... not that?
