That's just a bullshit excuse. Uber attacked healthy markets with proper consumer protection, and more importantly: wider social protection. And it did so with blatantly illegal tactics that were clearly detrimental and…
Gee, and there was me thinking that the rise of Trump had put an end to the argument that these types of unethical behaviour are not symptoms of the same problem. Defending a lack of ethics with ideology is a nothing…

Suggestion to stop using the same fucking stock images with the same fucking benches everybody else is using to symbolize "cool company".
Whatever sincere doubts and supposed nuances may have lead YC to continue to tolerate Thiel's presence before Trump took power, there can be no more doubts today. An organization that associates itself with both the…
The latter has to do with the fact that those cups have a very different purpose, which is why the solo cups are marketed as "American party cups". The "American" refers to the format of the party as much as the cups.…
Politics isn't some isolated thing. Politics is about everything we do and say. A techie elite deciding what they do isn't political, or worse, beyond politics, is part of what got us to this point in the first place. >…

And somehow I have little sympathy for people who want to leave the US for political reasons but have a problem with countries where wealth is distributed more evenly.
Which by far doesn't solve all problems, and subsequently creates a ton of new problems. How about just an appropriate workplace for the job, like 99% of all other jobs, even some of the lowest paid ones? Have a bit of…
The lazy part here is your writing and argumentation, not the fucking swearing.
I agree with the "know the audience" part. As in: much of your audience here isn't American, and you obviously are.
No natural light is pretty much illegal in most civilized countries. This is why office buildings in most of Western Europe aren't as massive and square as in countries like the US.
No bullshit. I was taught this. It's standard practice. You may have just had a shitty instructor.
Since when is it normal for a mainstream COMPANY (since you feel it's worth shouting about this must be the crux of your argument) to interfere with how people use its products based on fundamentalist ideologies? It's…

I buy from Bandcamp and voluntarily pay double just out of general principle. I listen most of music via Spotify out of convenience, but I'll gladly financially support any band that offers an honest product.
