  • His obsession with the Nobel peace price is really what's driving all this

    Nah, it's much more simple than even that: he's just a malignant narcissist and a colossal idiot who happens to have a talent for grifting*. Everything he's ever done has been because of that combo.

    *ETA: as well as the wealth and connections to play life on story mode from day one, of course

  • Most people's pension funds invest in all the awful companies they like to complain about

    Which is also bad for everyone who's not already rich, compared to old fashioned pensions NOT dependent on what is basically a casino with socialized losses and private gains for the already obscenely rich.

    You can despise capitalism

    Thanks for the permission, kind sir/madam/other 🫡

    we still need to exist in a capitalist society.

    Short term, yes. Probably medium term too. But long term, we CAN change the system into something much better than the global pyramid scheme we have going on now.

    Capitalism isn't a law of nature. It's a choice, and an awful one at that.

  • Speaking as an elder millennial who has had both, I don't miss flow tv at all. The only thing I ever watch live is sports, usually only Liverpool matches, which I mute and tab away from during half time commercials.

    In fact, if I come across an unskippable ad, I stop using whatever app/site/radish subjected me to it immediately.
