    That’s because they are now openly saying “fuck you” while pissing on all of us from above. No need to be polite in the trump sponsored corporatocracy.

      It’s what I’ve said for a while. Businesses and business owners have always been greedy and would always sell their own mother for $1 more profit. What’s different now, is that there is zero downside to cutting headcount, cutting costs, and enshittifying a product. All of which achieve the outcome of more money at the top.

      So, this is why many of us in the private sector have seen real world pay cuts for years now, all these top companies are shedding thousands of their headcount year on year, and we’re constantly paying more, for less, with way worse terms of use.

      That the government of the most powerful country in the world is also aligned with the people responsible for this is just icing on their cake. They were already at it for some time before.

      I’m sure a bunch of them that have been sliding under the radar see the writing on the wall and are trying to take whatever they can before things collapse and they attempt to slither away in the chaos with their bag.

        New Zealand, island compounds in hawaii, mega yachts, security details…they’re causing and building the apocalypse they fear both economically and environmentally.

        Someone else has always footed the bil their whole lives so why not gamble they’ll make it through?

        The outcomes are inevitable, it’s just a matter of timing and which scifi flick is running that will most closely match what happens.
