He should shove it up his ass.

I don’t want it to be quick and painless for him

Be the change you want to see in the world

Billionaire got so many billions he can buy himself a little puppet billionaire*.

Walmart is one of the largest welfare queens in the country. They profit off of poverty, and are actively incentivized to not only keep communities poor, but to make them poor.

I have no issue sailing the seas, if I can’t buy it an own it, then I don’t see the problem in downloading it.

My mother hates Spotify and just wants to own her music and listen to like the 100 or so songs she likes, but absolutely cannot figure out how to buy them. She’s not really technical and wouldn’t pirate if she were.

It’s all but impossible to purchase an mp3 anymore. Anywhere you can theoretically buy music does everything it can to lock you in to their ecosystem and prevent you from accessing your music outside of it.

First of all, Lemmy has a lot of users for whom English is a second language. So maybe don’t be a jackass about correcting grammar.

Secondly, in case you happen to be in that group of people ‘largest media company’ in this context applies to their reach, and not to their actual size. They are ‘large’ because they have a large audience, generate a lot of revenue, and are worth a lot of money. LMG also comprises 10 different YouTube channels with maybe 10 billion views between them.

If Trump de If the US tried, it would be like chopping both of its legs and then one of the arms.

Well they DO have the high ground…

I fail to see how it’s a strawman. Either you’re ok with companies taking advantage of people because they’re not very intelligent or you’re not.

A lot of people are dumb. Half the world’s population has a below average intelligence.

Why should we allow companies to victimize dumb people? Why is that ok to you?

North Korea is all about appearances, actual solutions aren’t important

I would like to purchase a stake in your industrial botanical operation. What people will do with weeds I have no idea but mushrooms are always popular at the farmers market.

Don’t worry, you’ll continue to pay for it. You’ll probably even pay more.

The cuts are just for the people receiving it. They’ll lose money. Which means you’ll lose even more in the future.

A majority of young people agree on what the right course of action is here. Remember to leave your phone at home. Don’t talk to the police.

Yes. This was a study by Emerson college. The methodology is linked in the article.

I’m not saying it’s not worth ten dollars.

I just don’t feel like spending ten dollars.

Thank God it’s ten dollars.

I almost downloaded it.

No they didn’t.

The working class had the option to vote for keeping things the way they are, or dramatic change and hope for the best.

They voted for dramatic change, because the way things are isn’t working.

Most people are politically tuned out, and just want to pay their bills and have some fun on the weekend. They see bills are getting harder to pay and what they can do on the weekend is getting more expensive. Like it or not, the Republicans did a good job spreading the message that a vote for them will make things cheaper somehow.

We know it isn’t true, but we’re both chronically online, somewhat informed, and statistically are likely to have an above average intelligence. We do not form a good cross section of the voting public. We voted against the tyrant.

But we’re also both smart enough to know that we weren’t voting for somebody that would actually fix any of those problems. We were voting against a dollar store tyrant and hoping for the best.

And, even if everything I said is wrong, nearly half of the working class did vote against it.

Hoping that everybody suffers because of the ignorant, short sighted decision of half of them is fucked up my guy.

I’m just going to point out that the ultimate victims of this idiocy are the working class.

The wealthy will still be wealthy regardless

USPS doesn’t lose a dime. It’s a service. It costs money to run.

You know, like a government office does.
