Maybe lets not try to pretend that it is just about the costs shall we? I bet MBAs will cower at the suggestion to put up a paywall from the beginning. Afterall, bait-and-switch is their bread-and-butter.

Subscriptions weren’t the norm when we actually paid for something and got the full product. The cost to run things didn’t suddenly become a factor just now.

Only thing that changed: greed of businesses, execs, shareholders.

Sure… it will just buff out

No need to convince anyone. Trump presidency ensures their will is implemented.

I appreciate you not escalating in response to my snarky comment with more snark or sarcasm.

On the subject: I agree that the system needs to motivate certain behaviors and disincentives others. But from the current point onwards in our cursed reality… I see no way this transition to such a system does not involve a violent revolution/uprising. I don’t see how we can even maintain such a system in the future without threat of violence towards those that put profits before everything else. I believe this because it took violence to take back 40 hour work weeks and paid vacations. Those seem trivial compared to a system overhaul from the current starting point.

You sweet summer child. You think billionaires don’t control things?

No it’s true. A relative of mine is like this as well, unfortunately.

When meta abuses entire countries and skirts regulations… i think a fucking $25 meal card is just petty bullshit.

Stop licking corporate boots.

You’re still nowhere near the expertise of doctors who go through nedical school for a decade or more and some even write papers for those peer reviewed journals. And some of their doctor peers review those papers before publishing journals.

Nobody is going to listen to you or some insurance company bean counter about medical advice over a qualified medical professional. They certainly should make it illegal for insurance companies to deny care contradicting doctors.

If you have to defer to the law as justification for doing something purely selfish… then people will judge you to be an asshole.

Edit: Not you personally.

Actually if trump gets elected that plan is going to get shelved entirely. Way worse.

Then its dishonest to accept money for your fake business.

And you think you know more than the kid’s doctor to predecide for millions of kids in your country?

You think you’re more qualified than a doctor to assess whether a kid is capable of making bodily decisions? You can only speak for yourself.

Its quite simple really: if you want profits then you should get it honestly. Otherwise you don’t deserve the profits.

I love how you managed to thread all the needles into being wrong about reality quite intricately.

I mean not me personally but it’s a good bet.

Have a lot to say =/= have all to say.

You’re deliberately ignoring a video link and talking past people trying to point that out. You don’t want to watch a video on youtube?

Best I can do is another Epstein
