It’s starting to feel almost hilarious how much of comically evil villains they are.

I picture them as Robbie Rotten from LazyTown.

Maybe it’s just more visible now but it seems like these companies are really accelerating in their evil lately. Probably because they know this admin’s going to do jack shit to protect people. Would be funny if it wasn’t also so scary.

Well I mean they have no incentive to behave any other way, if anything they are rewarded via the shareholders. Number goes up when they perform mass layoffs. That tells you everything you need to know.

I have the same observation. Not really sure what is the driver.

		Unchecked power deteriorates empathy as classes drift further apart — an inevitability of un(der)regulated capitalism driving unprecedented inequality. This accelerates when the billionaire class seizes the levers of power and dismantle entire regulatory bodies like the Epstein class has done with the US government.
