Why is the billionaire minority making all the decisions anyway? I mean, they are clearly and vastly outnumbered 🤔

@_elena 100%.
I often wonder how many of us are just one more "billionaire increased their wealth by..." report away from grabbing a pitchfork -

Whenever I read reports in the past about billionaires building bunkers in Hawaii and New Zealand I thought it was for environmental reasons or in case of nuclear war.
Now I'm beginning to think it's for self-defense when people will be completely fed up with their antics and looking for a revolution

@_elena Whatever the reason, I would be very happy for all billionaires to go lock themselves in their bunkers right now! 😅

@andycarolan @gedeonm a story along these lines is the plot of Naomi Alderman's The Future (https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-future-naomi-alderman/fd5dab350ba45254).
I love her books, enjoyed this a little less than the others EXCEPT for what happened at the end of the book to the tech CEOs and the ramifications for all humans.
Reminder to self: re-read the last chapter tonight

@flancian I don't have any news on this, except to say it's something that we'd like to do in future when there's bandwidth - it has a surprisingly large number of knock-on effects to consider in order to be accepted into the core code, and there are a lot of other things being worked on at the moment. So, no news as to when attention might turn to working on that, unfortunately.

For context, Facebook and Cambridge Analytics have already been accused of micro-targeting UK Facebook users ahead of the 2016 Brexit referendum, and more recently Xitter has been accused of amplifying far-right posts in Europe.
Little Tommeh fascist-Christian is just one of the far-right figures who are getting very agitated about the possibility of a crackdown on US social media.

@randahl
Also ESPECIALLY Franchises and physical services such as fastfood, coffee, delivery, rentals, ride hail, Hilton etc. These are parasites. They underpay, use fake royalties and other schemes to export profits without or little tax. They often require a local to rent the premises and put up capital.Actually BAN the stupid parasites.

@randahl @masek absolutely, but right now we're just totally fucked in terms of reliance on AWS and Azure, essentially nothing in Europe will work if cloud access is disrupted. So digital services has an escalation ladder that is especially dangerous to Europe. I hope that changes soon, but it won't change soon enough
