You make zero sense and I feel dumber to have read your comment.

Couch co-op gta san andreas was the best, so sad it’s not more common in present games.

They do exist they just prefer to be anonymous in their altruism so nobody hears about them.

They did it to improve water resistance and to sell the more expensive wireless earpods.

Don’t need to take things further than market socialism to fix the problems with capitalism.

What you describe is just another example of poor urban planning + untapped market of public transport.

While you have a point you might consider what little free time young people have is largely spent on social media full of dark patterns and negative feedback loops and/or gaming stuffed with gambling. One does not detract from the other problems you outline. “Phone bad” holds true as long as these big corporations insist on regulating themselves when all they do is feed people propaganda to keep anything from changing.

They fund their political campaigns via taxes and put limits on spending and campaign seasons, just buy european-made instead if you’re a fan.

Technofeudalism

Probably just a fool thinking free fusion energy was just around the corner

This is google we’re talking about, there never was any privacy to begin with, and what you believed was there was always just an illusion. This was always their interpretation of the ideal and power of the internet with its “free sharing of ideas and knowledge” - they literally went with including personal data in that much like facebook and both have yet to be stopped or held accountable to start treating it as such.

You’re not wrong but them being the executive class beholden to the investor class is a pretty big distinction from the rest of the working class that they oversee as a part of their work.

The rest of the investor class consider Musk a joke to actually run the companies he owns himself.

How long does it take to roll some video akin to tiktok and snapchat into it? Weed out all the bots at the same time by demanding fotoID and root out all the dirtbags abusing the app at the same time. Texting and chatting is so last decade anyway just leave it as a remnant of its birdie roots.

If it fails Meta will likely have to be broken up, their monopoly on social media is outrageous these days.

Campaign finance reform is necessary to tackle big business interests out for regulatory capture. Shift some of that subsidy into funding campaigns so the little guy stands a chance against them and their billionaire club.

Doesn’t matter who pushes them, it only matters who regulates and pushes to control them.
