The only power I have as a consumer is to choose which product I want to consume. And which not to. So ok then hello MapQuest it’s been about 25 years.

The entire purpose of this headline appears to be merely to put 9/11 and Abdul El-Sayed together in the same headline. Disgusting.

I’d have more faith in the AI revolution being a long term benefit for the human race, if the corporate titans leading the revolution weren’t amoral sociopaths.

“The 45 minute HR webinar on Unconscious Bias that I had to watch in 2020 is worse than the roving gangs of masked and armed paramilitary goons roaming through my city” is just not something you’re ever going to get me to agree to.

The NY Times apparently thinks fairness in journalism means having no values at all. Trump assaults one of the key factors in America's rise to global leadership — immigration — and the best the Times can do is call it a “risky pivot.”

I’m not saying every single tech ceo out there is an amoral sociopath. I am saying that every single tech ceo out there who I am aware of is an amoral sociopath.
