For a country that was literally founded on rejecting colonialism we sure have found new and exciting ways to kick it into high gear.

A giant reason for the rebellion was because the British actually had a treaty with the Iroquios so the American colonies couldnt expand past the Appalachians. We literally fought our revolutionary war for the right to perform colonialism.

bloomberg posted:SoftBank Vision Fund has been a major investor in some of this year’s most significant listings. Uber Technologies Inc. and Slack Technologies Inc. were among them. Both have fallen this quarter, dragging down the value of the Fund. So weird to read Bloomberg, the biggest and bestest financial media company on earth, and have them just come out and say "of course it's a meaningless ponzi scheme and none of these businesses are viable, but we just need to keep pushing the ipos through somehow to keep the game running for another quarter" And like nobody is trying to arrest these assholes?

Also that reminds me, in the morning before the BBC international news comes on the radio, NPR does an announcement that such and such show is "Brought to you in part by Reddit!" and I involuntarily cringe every time.

i keep getting ads for "design pickle" that begin with the owner talking about how designers have ego because tHe mArKeT determines their value design pickle is a service that offers "unlimited design" and a dedicated designer for $400 a month and all of their designers are in the philippines. there are lots of verrrrry exploitative design services out there but it's still pretty rare to begin your ad with five white guys in a conference room spouting randian talking points Polo-Rican has issued a correction as of 14:34 on Sep 18, 2019 |

I was really hoping that this was some kind of art show and the sweatshirts were normal ones for for those highschools from a local wal-mart or whatever and not actual products.
