Expecting corporations to “solve important problems in the world” is foolish though. You should expect your government to tax them fairly so that they can work on people problems and maybe it takes corporations a few years longer to afford their own fleet of nuclear power stations.

It’s not a decision to obey. It’s just a boring skit they put on once in a while. I feel like the kids’ Model UN has more actual impact on society than the UN and its toothless performative bullshit

It’s obvious why OP is ashamed. But why aren’t you? Proud of your nation’s quiet support of a genocide?

“Want to automatically purchase more mediocrity on a regular basis? Subscribe and save!”

Their leadership should be broken up into smaller pieces.

Narrator: they won’t.

Only because things are too expensive for plebes to buy outright! Mortgages are basically subscriptions too. Or “layaway” at least.

Thanks to monthly payments for everything, you can have whatever TV you want!

This is all a red herring. Our SUV’s, stupid as they may be, are statistically barely relevant compared to effects of corporate greed and pollution on the rest of us. Point the blame where it belongs: at the ruling class for having the knowledge and means to have avoided all of this, but chose not to.

Just a child sex enthusiast, I guess?

Came to the comments for this 👍

Pretty much anyone running a church is doing the same shit, no? He just got cocky about it, sounds like. Gotta at least pretend to be humble whilst grifting your flock

$400M ought to fuck them somewhat, but I guess in oil bucks, it’s probably not going to sting for long…

This guy fences and / or thieves.

But we aren’t intelligent without human training, either…

It’s actually kind of fair to blame the government for letting this happen…

Only if we keep letting them.

A donkey disc. Durh.

“We’re doing to inject you with what we’re calling a ‘genius enhancement serum’; it will fortify your already throbbing genius cells and keep you sharp as a tack, ensuring your every response is virtually perfect for your defence in this trial.”

Because the people don’t choose their options, just from the options chosen for them. The rich are one team, and our options are just to give us the illusion of choice and to pit us against each other as if it were left v. right and not haves v. have-nots. Notice the options are always deeply rooted in the “haves” camp…

From the outside looking in (not American, but Canada has similar problems) it looks transparently theatrical. But then I look around in Canada with that same “outsider” perspective and, yeah, it’s just as bad here. Our Premier of Ontario is a slightly less embarrassing version of Trump. Claims to be “for the people” but gives little-to-no fucks whatsoever based on his actions.

Anyway… Ready whenever others are to burn this all down…
