Yes, of course.
The problem is not just monetization. Capitalism can function and provide reasonable prices, but that takes actual robust competition, and actual robust competition, requires lots of small players, not a few big monopolies.
So to OP's point, yes, it would have been better to get off big tech earlier. Supporting small companies over big companies is always an inherent good in a capitalist society.
Check-out the world of commercial sound masking systems. You'd be surprised how many places have a whole hidden speaker system dedicated to white noise.
Wow, you're really bad at this.
Lol, says the person who communicates like this.
You still refuse to acknowledge the difference between what people say they care about and what actually motivates them to change their vote.
Swing voters don't care about Democracy and when swing voters say they care about Democracy it doesn't count because swing voters say things
Fucking hilarious! That's some serious weapons grade MAGA thinking right there!
How is this hilarious? It's literally just pointing out that there is a difference between saying you care about something, and looking at the data of what actually changes votes.
Democracy has been under attack for decades. Swing voters did not care until it drove up gas prices.
Do you not remember that Trump got re-elected after being impeached, enacting numerous anti-democratic policies, and generally trashing democratic norms in the campaign? Voters still voted for him because he said he would bring down gas prices.
CNBC polling backed that up, they found that 9/10 voters cited the economy as their top concern, and one of the major differences between last election and this election was that last election a plurality trusted Republicans with the economy and this election a plurality trusted Democrats. What would actually answer the question is seeing what the top concern was amongst people who voted Republican last time and Democrat this time, or those who voted Republican last time but stayed home this time.
They should focus 100% on cost of living and nothing else.
The only reason they won the election is because Trump fucked up the cost of living for the average American. That is literally the only that matters to people.
Everything else is an optional side quest at best, and you'll only have time to take on side quests if you keep the main quest going.
I've literally never heard anyone call him genocide Joe. Honestly if you're hearing people call him that you might want to reconsider the people you talk to.
Because both The Onion and The Beaverton have 'The' in their titles, the italics is emphasizing the difference between them... Though I don't know if that's correct, and on reread, it does bug me too.
Lmfao, ok bud. People can say whatever they want on polls.
The reality is that the corruption and attacks on democracy have been ongoing for decades but the blue wave didn't happen til gas prices went up.
Give your head a shake bud. Anger and vindictiveness will get you nowhere.
They impeached him
Thank you, that was the joke
