I don't think commies want capitalism?

Has the bubble popped?


The Technology one? Just optimizing the Algorithm....


Yes it popped with the first big wave of post-covid layoffs but somehow word hasnt gotten out to the general public. When the most common career advice was to find a new job every 6 months and ask for 20% more money and companies were hiring anybody with a pulse a few years ago I dont know how people did not see that bubble. It was so painfully obvious.


Many did see it, especially when 6 months bootcamps started to pop up and weren’t actually totally misleading in promising high salary jobs upon graduation.


I miss The Outline.


It's absolutely wild that you're equating the rights of a person to the rights of a corporation. Corporations impact all of us whereas a person using a VPN to remain anonymous is protecting themselves from corporations.

What about a one-person corporation?*

* I know that in some jurisdictions you need more than one, but let's not jump on that... Big business this isn't


It blows my mind how much these large firms have totally dropped the ball. It's like IBM levels of decline.


As a US citizen, it's pretty wild to live through. Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the rest of us.


Unfortunately no, it's socialism for us too - just the wrong end of it. The government and their friends are the socialism winners, the rest of us are the socialism losers.

But we do it to ourselves at the ballot box every time, and very reliably.


These things are all done in the name of national security… feels like lots of fluff… politicians’ way to get us tax payers to fund their friends …


I don't know what the heck you are talking about. Socialism is not the kind of bs like capitalism or communism, it has no winners nor losers everyone is in the same boat.

Anything else is just some crooked politicians, could be billionaires but don't have to, getting more rich and powerful and say whatever they have to say to keep it this way.


I don't see how socialism is any different. It is still the state taking from one person to give to another.

How is anyone in the same boat with Socialism? Unless your metaphor is that some paddle and some don't, but everyone goes the same speed


>I don't see how socialism is any different. It is still the state taking from one person to give to another.

Socialism is when workplaces are owned and managed by the people who work there, rather than private investors. It has nothing to do with taxes, or welfare, or "the state" doing one thing or another -- that is a uniquely American conflation.


AI don't think that's accurate. State Socialism is real.


The subway cars on the tracks all need to go there yesterday.


Serenity now!


oh man, we're going to be in The Running Man really quick.
