If it is, they don't make it obvious anywhere

The neat part of this is that they're requiring Google to give up their library of apps to other stores and won't allow them to buy up exclusives for at least 3 years. I suspect we will see a lot of scam app stores really soon, though.

This reads a lot like you really want meritocracy to be real so you're trying to find evidence for it. Even if you got a job without knowing anyone, how do you know it's not some other reason?

If meritocracy exists how do we explain the absolutely massive wealth gap? What about all those economists who say it's a myth? Even the liberals like Robert Reich say it's a myth.

Yes, but capitalists benefit more from people embracing individualism and many people have been indoctrinated into that belief for multiple generations now. Because the US and many other places frame nearly everything as competitive instead of cooperative, we have started to default to that even in settings that are obviously meant to be cooperative.

I will never understand the American obsession with mediocre fast food. I watched this happen with literally every new fast food place that opened in a small city off an interstate in Alabama. I can at least understand why small towns get excited for something new, but it's always just shitty food or in this case just some fucking chicken tenders?

Ok so hear me out. Maybe we just need to convince the transphobes that there is actually a global conspiracy and all trans people are actually just transitioning again to their "correct" gender. Like yeah it's not ideal, but they did use the right pronoun at the end there..

Imagine it's like your Rolex, the CEO says to the journalist who probably makes like 70k/year if they're lucky

I don't think there are any SA allegations at all? I don't really follow this kind of shit very closely, but searching through headlines and all I see is some mentions of maybe charging him with sex trafficking, but nothing ever came of that.

If jokes about Hunter Biden being cool because he's such a fuck up are cringe, just randomly saying someone 100% for sure assaulted multiple women because of who his dad is? Definitely cringe.

Watch the segment he did on Venezuela a few years ago, he's pretty fucking bad at seeing capitalism for what it is
