  • Google’s search products are designed to NOT serve your desired search result. It will serve the most profitable result, FOR THEM, that is at least tangentially related to your search… Maybe. You’ll likely click on one or you’ll try a second search and engage with them more. Google profits, you lose.

    Google is a restaurant, the only restaurant that most know of. They have a surplus of hot dogs, but they used to serve hamburgers. You have a reasonable expectation that they’ll have hamburgers. You order a hamburger and you get an hot dog with cotton candy on it. No refunds. You can try to order another hamburger, but the next could be a hamburger or a balloon filled with toilet water. Most will just eat the hot dog unfortunately. Reinforcement, they will continue.

    It’s not silly. It’s ignorant and dangerous.

    America is very broken, but the concept of taxes is how we have roads, bridges, first responders, teachers and a number of any decent society’s basic needs that the free market didn’t give a FUCK about.

    Too many ignorant folks who don’t understand a progressive tax system, focus on the wrong “enemy” (the minimum wage either versus the trillionaire) and completely buy into the rhetoric you defend here that perpetuates that. And end up voting for people that take everything, build nothing and create the hell these purple irrationally feared in the first place.

    And you expect that general public to have internalized nuanced revolutionary war history to the point that they naturally draw any of that from your king of the hill meme?












  • You friend, are missing the point - or more accurately you are relegating it to a “minor bullet on the list”.

    It’s not the quality of knife produced, it’s who the producer is and how he will use the profit if you buy it from him.

    You can spin desperately to find a contortion that you can personally abide, but it doesn’t change the objective reality.
