Philanthropy has always been a PR calculation to keep the masses from revolting against the accumulation of wealth.

Jacobin - Bill Gates Chooses Corporate Patent Rights Over Human Lives

Politico - How Bill Gates and partners used their clout to control the global Covid response — with little oversight

New Republic - How Bill Gates Impeded Global Access to Covid Vaccines

I can keep going if that's not enough to read. Also lol at you trusting a governmental committee report.

Fuck Gates, he is responsible for many heinous things, most recently encouraging pharma companies to patent publicly funded covid vaccines, which has denied access to the global population, which then encourages mutations.

I don't care what he is saying whether it's good or not there are better people worth listening to on the subject. Billionaires are not the answer to the world's problems, they are the cause of them.

It can't possibly be the crushing weight of capitalism that is impacting young people's lifestyles.

Ok bud.

Were you yourself ignorant to this?

Yes dude, piss bottles in the warehouse are a meme at this point. Working conditions in the warehouses have been making headlines since people died due to overheating way back in 2013.

Idk what point you're trying to make. Are you saying we need to make signs for how Amazon abuses it's employees?

I don't care if he does or does not, the point is Amazon's ruthless exploitation of the working class is not an unknown fact.

Ignorance is not an excuse.

No pass granted. Amazon is currently hiring their anti-union lawyers as direct warehouse managers to fight the unionization efforts at KCVG Airhub. There is no excuse in 2024 to take a gig from this company and not understand who you are getting in bed with.

Support KCVGs union effort! They are the companies largest airhub and function as a critical choke point in their supply lines. A union win would be a huge success for unionization across all warehouses at Amazon.

Original author is implying this took alot of creative effort. I make alot of memes and shitposts, they don't justify trying to create a brand from low effort words to images.

You do you. It's ok I don't understand it. 🙃

True homies get on the level.

I'll never understand why people watermark such low quality images, both in pixels and content. What's even more perplexing is why people then go on to repost them.

There is no value considered in providing stable income to the team members. No value considered in artists honing their craft. Even if the games only had marginal profits in and of themselves, considering the cost of big budget games, there is still huge value in creating and maintaining a large IP.

I fucking hate everything about this.

They joined the same union representing Disney World actors and managers.

FDR was not a socialist and the New Deal was a compromise from the existing capitalist power structure in order to harness and then diffuse the growing socialist energy in the country. It's a huge reason the New Deal focused so much on highway expansion instead of public transportation.

Oh there is no other option, but that wasn't my point. Republicans extremism allows the Democrats to continue to fail the American people in a ratchet effect. It's a slow slide into Fascism instead of a fast one. Isreal has been killing the Palestinian people and forcing them to seek asylum since the country's inception. Weapons to Isreal are weapons to kill the native population, it's what colonizers do.

Allowing lip service to pacify the publics awareness only plays into their favor. That is my point. Don't make excuses for them.

How about that 1 billion weapons package Biden is pushing now? How is that red line he had working out?

False dichotomy.
