  • To me it’s more like this:

    We all saw the brick wall coming. The psycho driving the bus refuses to turn. Now it’s too late so we’re all screaming and bracing for the impact.

    Some of us hope we survive. Some hope we don’t because survivors are going to be disfigured and crippled at best.

    Some of us are angry that half the bus was manipulated into letting the psycho drive.

    The psycho is laughing because they don’t care who they hurt and they’re having the time of their life.

    And the story is illustrated by Mo Williams, and it’s titled: ‘Dont let the Psycho drive the Bus’

    But like most childrens book; adults forgot the lessons.

    He will make rich people richer.

    Those people control every aspect of what a large portion of the population see and hear from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to sleep.

    Never in human history has a power that immense being controlled by the greediest and most corrupt group of our population.

    It is inevitable that someone like him will be in control sooner (maybe in a couple weeks) or later. We’re at the bottom of the mountain watching a few boulders come down as the rest of the avalanche is roaring down the mountain.

    Even if he loses (unlikely) they won’t stop because stopping isn’t an option.

    Greed and Corruption. That’s all it is. There’s no other reason necessary.

    I hope that helps you understand what’s going on a bit better. You won’t like it, no rational person does, but it’s the facts.






  • Yeah the article stub doesn’t link to the article. It links to a login flow with the article id. If you go directly to the article you get redirected if you don’t have a session.

    It’s incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall. Porn has done it since the Internet existed.

    In this very particular situation I’m glad most companies are lazy and stupid.

    I don’t particularly care if a company does pay only content. I think its legitimately ok. I hate companies that don’t make you pay enough for the service to cover their costs thus leading to complete enshitifaction.

    Cute, but it’s just a single hit on a lifetime of misses for most. He got lucky once and could easily use it to reaffirm a bunch of nonsense instead of crilically asking himself what all the other wasted shit is for.

    But hey, I have hobbies too, and I’m glad he’s smart enough to listen to science. So he’s about a million miles ahead of most
