And they knew a long time ago it would be expensive and did it anyway.

And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?
Why? Israel has been trying to take that land since 1917.
They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.
It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas’ attack.
Those are just premeditated accidental killings. It’s very different.
This story is about the University of Michigan. 😉
If we’re going to get the analogy correct, you’re right, Hamas would be the assholes that killed 1200 people at a festival, and then IDF/Israel killed 34,000+, 70% women and children, in response.
Seems like a balanced response from a country which you’d expect to desire the respect of other first world countries?
Oh wait. That’s not an analogy.
Let’s see what happens next? Spoiler! Israel annexes more Palestinian land for illegal settlements!
Now imagine if the IDF had shown up and murdered a bunch of people at the graduation ceremony.
What scale of asshole would that be?
It’s not binary, but I agree with your general sentiment.
However, the American citizen has been propagandized and groomed to be corporate bootlickers. To our own demise, we accept the gross negligence of both parties to create reasonable regulation to maintain the balance needed for capitalism to function fairly.
I’m thinking you don’t know the definition of “neoliberal.”
The content is good, so I support the content.
If all we ever do is hold purity contests over secondary and tertiary concerns, like the platform, we’ll never accomplish anything.
The anti-trust pressure has increased with this administration. Lina Kahn has been effective at the FTC in bringing a number of cases forward.
https://www.thebignewsletter.com/ is a very well executed newsletter with more detailed information regarding anti-trust if you’re interested.
We will eventually scientifically determine the neurological impact of social media is both damaging long term and requires health treatment.
This isn’t about the content itself, it’s the addictive nature of how it’s delivered and the ability to rapidly manipulate people.
Let’s see, in the 80s we rapidly moved much of our technology manufacturing to China, and now we’re shocked that China has this knowledge?
For me, the dog has a cartoonish look. The eyes seem too large, the head seems too large, and something seems a little too perfect in general.
Local motorsports in the US.
It’s a whack-a-mole of services which restream content, but the piracy services are also subscription based.
What about the small, local services that are just trying to pay the broadcast production bills and make a little cash to become viable businesses?
Fuck those people too?
Because these piracy services also affect them. These services restream the content taking away revenue from the small streaming services. In many cases we’re talking about volumes less than 100. So these restream services pop up, illegally use trademarks and copyrighted materials to advertise, and can reduce volumes enough that they are no longer viable.
Sometimes these things affect regular people trying to make life work too. Not just billionaire assholes who legitimately deserve the criticism.
The wholly predictable outcome of poorly regulating capitalism.
“The market will create competition and the best products.” No. The market will seek the optimal method to make the most money, and if that optimal method includes killing people, that will be the method selected.
Start putting people in jail and taking businesses into receivership for bad behavior, and then the optional method for maximizing profit will also result in better products.
