    How do you write an article like that and then just like… keep breathing… as if you’re a human being deserving of living or something?

      The New York Times and other traditional papers have a tendency to write headlines like that in order to attract attention. When you read it, nine times out of ten you realise they’re not actually endorsing it and the article itself presents a much more reasonable take on it.

      Newspapers editors write this stuff with the assumption that you will read it, not just screenshot it and post it online. Maybe that’s not a good assumption in the age of short attention spans, but it’s what they do.

    When life gives you lemons, make shareholder value!

    And next quarter, make MORE!

    And don’t think I won’t lay all you useless lemon handling morons off in a second if you miss Q3 revenue targets!

    “Successful” capitalists only see investment opportunities because they literally have nothing to fear. The water shortages won’t materially affect them so they just see a new market as a game to be won.

    It’s going to be much too late when the populace wakes up to the reality that the only way things get better for them is if things get a lot worse for the oligarchs.

    We’re cattle and chattel. Until we decide otherwise.

      Totally. But acting without the numbers and proper organization, we’re just cattle and chattel dead or behind bars.
