There are so many ~~consumers~~ MONOPOLIES now that products that aren’t good or exploit their users can still have a healthy market.

Unfortunately we have to use large bore needles for blood. Smaller needles will damage red blood cells :/
(I'm a nurse. It's a problem when giving blood transfusions to smaller people also.)
Biden says global warming topping 1.5 degrees in the next 10 to 20 years is scarier than nuclear war
I just want one of those Hawaii-style text message warnings, so I can start driving toward Boston asap

If you're lucky enough to be one of the minimal handful who actually die in the quick flash. More likely you'll be one of the multitudes poisoned by radioactive fallout or starved by nuclear winter.
It's not better.
They can buy themselves a few years at best without a functioning supply chain. We all depend on society, no matter how much they like to deny it
They think they do. No amount of money will protect a person from the collapse of a civilization. Never has, never will. Their plans are very much predicated on the assumption that markets will somehow magically continue to function after the general populace has lost all faith in them
Their content promotion algorithms are not protected by section 230. Those algorithms are the real problem, pushing more and more radical content onto vulnerable minds. (The alt-right YouTube pipeline is pretty well documented. Reddit, I think, less so. But they still promote "similar content")
When one single individual who isn't the executive can obstruct the entire system like Tubbs and Turtle, it's time to burn the system and start over
I'm just gonna leave this here:
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'"
Let no one who supports this kind of draconian corporate policy ever claim to be religious
Dude, you're the first person to get the reference!
Taki, beratna. Be well.
The deluge of information is definitely a problem, and it's a problem that is exploited by bad actors (see: "firehose of falsehood" tactic explicitly endorsed by Russian intelligence that was used to great effect by Trump during his time as president)
I think A solution for the time being (perhaps not THE solution ultimately, but for now) is to adhere to quality evidence based whenever possible, which is something we definitely can review for ourselves. Vet and re-vet individual sources to determine which ones we can trust. And beyond that, go with a consensus. There will always be that one expert who disagrees with the majority on any issue no matter what, but if the general consensus is in a certain direction, then that's the way we should try to go
A statement like this should get you instantly booted out of Congress
