I shared this one on other social media platforms, and some tech bros are angry 😡 lol. I never understood why some people worship big corporations so much 🤔 It is not just that these companies are also firing people left and right despite making huge fortunes. They only care about meeting shareholders' bottom lines; everyone else is just a casualty. So much for one big happy family 😵

@nixCraft The WHY is a thing. I have pondered this many times. Some people have learned that to become rich you need to be focused. That means igoring collateral damage. They do not express is thus, they have different ideas. If you do not make moneys you're not "smart". The word (smart) has been devalued. They do have an ounce of a psychopathic mindset. I guess when we walked around finding food 90% of the time in gangs of 12, such traits could benefit the group. Now it burns down the planet.

@dany_57987 @nixCraft the WHY is structural. In order to have a company you need to funnel wealth upwards, whether that's return on investment, business loan interest, building lease etc. People who get good at (and have no moral qualms about) funneling wealth upwards get materially rewarded for it, and filter upwards in terms of agency. Everyone else gets wealth extracted from them and filters downwards - you can't start a business without capital, you're less able to do whatever it is you wanna do with your life, and are beholden to those who funnel wealth so you have to march to their tune. What you see around you is the result of letting this dynamic play out for hundreds of years
