The Democrats would never allow her to win the primary, and she wouldn't win the election in her thirties even if they would. Old assholes running everything sucks, but I don't think the solution is to run thirty year olds.

Thank dog. I love that both platforms get reports, but it sure was hard to find the right ones

For now. We get crazier every year.

What's the point of making claims of you don't intend on trying to make people believe them? Sometimes we want sources so we can have real numbers and details that we can reference.

If Comcast hates it, it must be the best solution. In fact, I think we America should run all laws by Comcast executives

Honestly the time you can put your laptop to sleep is the least interesting part, but it's hard the explain the other benefits to regular users

But it could also have huge ramifications

I definitely agree that they do stupid things because of short term gains and narcissism. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they're just grumpy bosses mad that it's harder to boss people around.

I also worry though about portraying executives as buffoons. Most of their short term decisions that look stupid make a lot of sense when you look at it through the lense of them just not caring that it makes life worse for other people. It's honestly probably a combination of a bunch of dumb and greedy things.

Sure, but if everyone who can goes remote, all that rent money dries up. Most also don't directly own buildings to rent, but rather have investments in companies that do. If those other companies go under then they lose money on investments. I don't have any inside knowledge though, this is just the conclusion I've been able to come to. Other than just being control freaks.

I don't think there's some shadowy Illuminati organisation behind it. They are pretty blatent when they manipulate things.

That said, I do think there are a lot of investors and analysts that have come to the same conclusion and are talking to each other and passing info to their clients.

People always babble on about voting with your wallet and consoomers driving the market. Despite the vast majority of business not being public facing.

Are we supposed to vet the supply chain of every product we buy?

A lot of large companies and executives have investments in real estate. If everyone stopped using offices all of a sudden, they would lost a bunch of money because the space wouldn't be in demand anymore.
