They had already gone off the deep end. They've been enshittifying everything they can get their hands on and monetizing the slightest edge they can to everything as well. Tech bros are just the pharma bro multiplied. People that bring no value to the world make things that they have no knowledge about or input on behind pay walls because they can. It's for the shareholders brah! Rid the world of nepo CEOs and we'll all be in a better place. Also "economics" belongs with the other junk science like chiropractors. Some of them are great and some of the science is needed. Most of it is just junk that only makes sense to them and their schemes.

Oh Blockbuster, who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy memory

Thy storefront come

Thy movies return

On Earth as it is in Heaven

Give us this day our daily movie rentals

And forgive us our shortsightedness

As we forgive those who exploit us for money

And lead us not into micro-transactions

But deliver us from enshittification

For thine is the Weekend

The Power and the Vibes

Forever and ever

Amen

Trump is determined to turn the US into the world's biggest island.

South America is going to need a real defense pact unless they want to be the victims of the Monroe Doctrine forever.

Haven't you heard? It's the Donroe doctrine now.

I'm not even joking.

I'm not going to google that because I don't want that fact in my brain.

.... I did and theres a whole Wikipedia page about it already

This president is such a a fire hose of shameful nonsense it's impossible to keep up

A waterfall of shit

Can I still use stuff from the '60s to about the late '90s?

Imagine that. Being indifferent to your customer base and forcing them into areas they don't want to travel are two main behaviours that will destroy a business and bring it to ruin. Monopolies will always eventually have alternatives when their customers find out that the rain is just piss from above.

Remember the internet was invented by the US government, so was the dark web and they didn't let the common people use it out of the goodness of their heart.

I hope but it's a so long process that single politician won't change. There is need for at least decade of consistent actions at this point. It's just 2 years of this bullshit left and we're back to people complaining that someone wears skirt instead of pants.
