  • It’s basic supply and demand… If you have customers willing to pay more for your product, you will sell your stock to that person. I think we tend to judge these companies for doing what we would do ourselves.

    Lets say you have a lemonade stand and some adult comes along and says he will buy it all for 2 dollars per liter when the normal price is 1 dollar per liter. Are you going to say that he can’t buy all the lemonade and sell it for lower price to the kids? Maybe you would, and that makes you a very good person, but a bad businessman.


  • Lol, Lemmy downvoting this comment 23 times just shows how sensitive the Lemmy crowd is. :)

    It wasn’t even something offensive and it’s the truth too. Unless “gather around kids” is offensive to today’s generation…

    Im 50, and just like this guy I remember ram being very expensive. That doesn’t mean we should be happy to go back to that of course. This pricing hike is 100% caused by data centers creating the infrastructure for dystopia. Nobody is laughing about that.

    But still, he is correct.



  • I mean, people do all kinds of things in games they never want to do in real life. Smashing up a parade with a shot gun would be fun. And if it’s pride, it’s even more fun because it’s just so wrong. You know?

    When I was playing gta, I had so much fun just hitting people on the street. Who didn’t do that? And who didnt look at the girls in very inappropriate ways?

    Games are games. It doesn’t mean your collegue is an asshole. When I was playing duke nukem in the 90s, I was playing co-op and I laughed my ass off when I killed my buddies with remote triggered explosives. I mean I was laughing so I got tears coming out of my eyes. :)

    It’s just games. And when we start acting politically correct in games, it’s all over. We have become machines.





  • I think he is right about tech workers working on a higher level, using a bulldozer instead of a shovel, but thats going to be a good thing for the company, not the worker.

    He sees the company as the main driver in the economy and if it’s good for the company, it’s good for the country. If it sucks for workers, it’s a sacrifice he is willing to make…

    Boosting productivity is very bad for the stressed worker who gets a new performance baseline that is 10 times what it was before. We already see this happening.

    “You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”

    He is right about this too, because he knows the taxes in America is not going to those people. America has so much money but they spend it on weapons instead of their country.

    So he is not lying in this interview. He is saying the truth which is why things are so sad. Him paying more taxes would just give more money to the weapons industry. He is existing inside a country where the presidents doesn’t care about ordinary people at all. Same as Russia.
