No, there's a lot more variety now that the bots have taken over.:-)

Simply handing drug dealers and corrupt politicians a boatload of money isn't likely to do much of anything - he'd be bankrupt in a year and the city worse off than when he started. That's why the Harvey Dent arc was so crucial: Batman can only do so much in the shadows, but what the city really NEEDED was a hero who could operate in the light of day (though he still needed support from the shadows).

Ofc the real answer is that the premise of the franchise is based on Batman punching people, as in physically, so his goal isn't even saving the city so much as making satisfying wham bam pow sounds.

More "political" franchises are fewer and further between, which is why Star Wars and to a lesser degree Trek (in this regard) were so popular. Both involved a radical, violent and bloody overthrow of the corrupt forces (Trek having been in the past but in Wars it happening "live" and being the central feature).

"Can't compete" => won't, ftfy :-P

Google got their money, so they are simply "done", unlike software made by people who genuinely care about stuff, and donate their time for free to improve it.

And as this article suggests, also in unexpected ways.

We are not all going to make it:-|.

Except Republicans were polled as well, and then the rankings combined, whereas e.g. Trump is more universally hated by all sides (independents too).

I mentioned in a comment a bit further up but thought I'd offer it here too:

Trump also committed genocide against poor people by lying to them that a global pandemic was not airborne, when it actually was. In the Bob Woodsworth interview, he admitted it. In advance. He KNEW, and he did it anyway.

Plus he led a coup to overthrow the nation so... there's that too.

I remember, it's been nearly a decade already, when the shocking realization hit me that climate change wasn't just something that was going to happen, like 100 or even 20 years in the future, but it had already happened, and people simply were refusing to acknowledge it.

since the turn of the millennium, deaths from climate change have already exceeded those from all World Health Organization global-health emergencies other than Covid-19 combined. “Vanishingly few of these deaths will have been recognized by the victims’ families, or acknowledged by national governments, as the consequence of climate change,”

But there is currently no vaccine for climate change.:-(
