“Immigrants should learn the language of the country they’re in”
Okay, let’s agree on that. Now how many British “expats” speak Spanish then?
@aud @fromjason @grajohnt Yes, Klarna could make them work off their debts. In a couple years you can go back to the mall and buy another pair of jeans!
By the way, Klarna charges very high fees to merchants, so anything you can buy with Klarna is probably overpriced. If you want to be nice to a local merchant, pay cash. Otherwise use a rewards card and get the majority of the merchant fee back. There is no good use case for this thing.
I want to live in a timeline, but nobody wants to work for these kinds of companies ever because they tried AI.
Corporations breed billionaires. Their stock ownership is used as collateral for debt that is used to buy up and cannibalize the rest of the economy.
Ultimately though a stock valuation depends somewhere on sales then for gross stocks on the fantasy of future returns.
Imagine a world where the public boycott large companies and M&A.
This business (pun intended) of promoting psychopaths to Lord of the Universe is something we functional humans really ought to review. Like, forty years ago.
Exactly. We allow our leaders – intellectual as well as political – to define "human nature". And naturally, they insist God made us assholes, because they are and they reign over the rest of us. So you not only can't do anything about people with materialistic learning disabilities, they're a Godly thing and only an evil person would want to.
But actually, powerful people, the fact is most of us aren't psychopaths. Just you. So, like, prepare to be unhappy.

Obviously doesn’t mean they stop getting paid, that’s just for the peasants…
@grajohnt People doubt me, and sometimes even get upset, when I refer to executives as 'infants'.
They think it requires skill.
@grajohnt We've had expert / decision support systems for so long, and they didn't destroy the planet we are living on.
What was wrong with them?
@grajohnt every time I have to chat with Customer service through an app and I get a survey afterwards I take the time to give the actual human being 10 stars but I always write something in the text box asking me what could have been better.
I like to talk about how their chat bot is so awful that it has never been able to help me, that I always have to be transferred to a human, and that the bot is so annoying that I’m usually pissed off by the time I get the human. And that’s not fair to the human. And even though I’m frustrated when I get the human they are always helpful and patient and kind and they always save the sale. I tell them that if I couldn’t chat with a human when I needed to I would stop using their business, I tell them that they will never be able to replace the humans with bots because their bots are not good.
It probably doesn’t help, they probably don’t care, but I want them to have the feedback anyway.
@Aethelstan @grajohnt Of course not!
The entirety of the corporate world is built on "successes are mine, failures are ours".
