That's what happens when you give the richest people tax breaks and subsidise all your rich buddies endevours without uplifting the lowest socio-economic portions if society.

The best way to fix the economy is always to give the poorest more money (or less financial burden) because they spend a much higher percentage (usually all) of their excess income to keep afloat or improve their way of life.

The worst way is to give rich people more money. Because they horde it, gamble on non tangible goods (stocks, crypto, "ai" etc), send it off shore, keep it in the family and share it with other rich people etc.

It's ironic that the party that always does the worse thing for the economy and demonises doing the best is seen by the masses as the "good for the economy" party.

I mean, not a single other current movie/show on their front page has 99% audience score.

Even if Melanoma was secretly good and "the critics were trying to bury it" they would be suspicious.

It'll be a shit load of bots, and then the same reactionary people that make everything politically partisan and mass review bomb anything "woke"

People that didn't see it and don't care about "how well it does" won't review it at all, so there's no counter votes because... Literally no one seeing it.

I'm shocked how far I had to scroll to find Wayne's world...and having an existential crisis at his quickly time moves 😅

It blows my mind that you can just stumble across that stuff on a popular public forum

This also explains why any "woke" movie or TV series gets immediately review bombed

Yeah exactly. Ultimately they became money machines, and they only exist to make more money now... Some will have willfully amoral motivations (Cambridge analytica, palantir) and others will just persue more money, regardless of the outcome of his they do it, I.E implicily amoral.

I don't think the websites all started thinking "I'll harvest data for the inevitable surveillance state"

Google actually started with great intentions and hoped to translate the data into revenue via "normal" ads

But... Dogy ass holes paid better than ads, and, like most companies, whenever they get successful/big enough, everything goes out the window in favour of profits

Good while post reeks of alt right incel bullshit. Basically celebrating trad wives/family and getting rid of "bad" races.

Someone should show him the video of Trump and guiliani in drag.

Yeah, I came to the same understanding when I used to counter conspiracy nuts denying climate change and evolution etc.

You'll never convince them they're wrong or hypocrites... But people who stumble upon the thread that are not super critical thinkers will see the discussion and you can help them realise the person is actually full of shit.

Sometimes they can lie believably enough that people fall for it, and some of those people will snap out of it when they see the contradiction and logical fallacies.
