Real anti-trust enforcement could help with American's problems.

anti-trust, anti-corporate regulator capture, anti-corporate lobbying, anti-corporate liability and tax evasion. Anti-Corporate welfare programs, we need it all.

As well as laws that make forced arbitration contracts unenforceable.

I used to think so, too, but the Steam/Valve stuff from the past few years has opened my eyes to the usefulness of arbitration as a leveler (specifically, the parts of agreements that force big companies to pay all of the costs and fees).

But definitely outlaw small clause carve-outs.

> Zuckerberg knows that threatening Wynn-Williams for standing in wooden silence on a stage makes him look like history's most guillotineable billionaire.

This could be a prompt for cards against humanity… Zuckerberg’s Increasingly Bizarre _____

OK it took a while to get to the point, but Zuck claiming that Wynn-Williams sitting silently on stage during a panel constitutes "disparagement" is farcical if not straight-up evil

It looks weirdly petty that they are going after her. Everyone knows that Meta is a shitty place to work. There have already been countless articles. Their reputation as an employer is almost Amazon-tier. Is there much point in trying to silence one person?

No, there's really not. That's why it's self-evident to me that their goal is to send a message to any other employee thinking about following her lead

In my opinion, most iltra rivh get to where they are by being narcissictic sociopaths. But zuckerberg really takes the cake. Remember when he thought a makeover and singing listens would be enough to make him president? Mans actually deranged. Brilliant, but actually crazy

Watching him walk out with UFC fighter Alexander Volkanovski as if he were part of his corner, and seeing him continuously, but incorrectly, anticipate that the rest of the men he was with were about to hand him something, or otherwise interact with him in any way, was honestly a mouth wide open moment for me. Not that the other guys ignored him, but that he clearly expected them all to include him at this moment that months of their preparation have lead up to, contrasted with him buying his way in to. It was one of those moments that makes you feel better about your own social awkwardness in comparison.

Doesn’t seem bizarre to me. Seems reasonable for a man in his position.

Reasonable but evil.

Just read Careless People. It’s good and this triggers the Streisand effect.
