Incorrect. Hollywood bigwig blowhards who routinely cheat on their accounting and taxes like it's breathing and treat the people who actually create the products like an underclass of garbage ... that's who cost the economy $5b.
Are zoomers really like this?
Actually, it's pretty close to a single order of magnitude; $80b on education vs. $877b military. Not that it detracts from the point, though, nearly a trillion dollars is a metric shit-ton of money.
For reference, $80b/year is about an order of magnitude less than what the US spends on the military. Suddenly a lot of the ways America ... is... kind of makes sense.
Western Digital be all like
If governments actually gave a fuck about antitrust anymore, it would be. 20-ish years ago, they dragged Microsoft to court over simply bundling IE with Windows. It didn't even constantly nag you to set as default; just the fact that it was bundled at all was enough to make it into the sights of regulators.
People are ~~stupid~~ dumb, panicky animals and you know it.
Humanity collectively needs to touch to stove to realize it's hot.
Humanity collectively is fucking stupid.
Nature is already working on it and ramping things up.
