He also does put money into trying to fix the city. Gotham is canonically cursed like five times over. No matter how much cash you mainline into the city it's not going to get better.

Pretty sure I still have a headache from using one in a Blockbuster in the 90s.

Every technology has the potential to be abused. This isn't even at the top of the worst offenders.

PS: I don’t use condoms for my phones, if they need that for daily use, it’s an obvious design flaw!!!

You don't use a condom because you know you'll get a girl pregnant, you do it on the slim possibility. There's always going to be outliers, and refusing to prepare for the possibility because it's remote is playing with fire. It's asking for a worst case scenario when the preventative measures are so very easy out of pure arrogant principle.

More importantly, the system we all accept (willingly or not) requires that people be employed to survive.

It's not a matter of wanting to be employed, as needing to be employed.

I'm assuming grandchild, cause momma is more of an EVE hybrid anyway.

A company is more than its most visible members. There were likely plenty of competent people in the hierarchy that were there before Musk and were able to continue that trend of competency until Musk decided he needed to control more and more of the intricacies of the company.

The difference isnt what he was doing before to make things run smoothly so much as what he wasn't... that being getting in the way. He was a glorified PR guy. Which he was great at. Running a tech and manufacturing company? Not so much.

Maybe they have one of the shitty adblockers for some reason.

I mean, if you can afford a boat you can also probably afford a lot of other nice things.

Unless you spent all your money on the boat, and thus can't afford things like storage for said boat...

He didn't, he bought in to a company that was already set on doing it.

And of course, we should trust in the judgment of autocratic dictators on matters of ideology.

Inflation is great to keep the stock market afloat. That's about its only redeeming quality. The reason that most economists like inflation is the false premise that people will stop spending money if money starts increasing in value... but the vast majority of people are going to spend their money one way or another, cause they can't just stop buying food or paying for rent... and they're not going to skip out on what little fun they can have because it might be a little cheaper later.

Deflation is bad for the rich. Because it means their non-monetary assets are suddenly worth less.

That's because your side is just you.

Your comment seemed awfully opinionated for not trying to make a point.

They literally made an either or declaration of their own...

That obviously being the only other choice, of course.

Just because you can't solve everything all on your own doesn't mean you're effectively powerless.

What does make you powerless is refusing to act because you have to be part of a crowd to help, instead of some lone avenging angel who can solve everything with a snap of their fingers.

Imagine thinking there's only one solution.

It is like No Man's Sky in that most people who weren't fanatical about saying it had a huge turn around stopped caring about it after a year or so.

There is no one key word. They all kind of intermingle to explain the whole idea. Picking and choosing which word you feel most comfortably explains your own opinion doesn't make it right.
