I cannot believe that I have not seen this scientific study before now. I have gone my whole life believing that parachutes save lives, but this controversial research has overturned consensus on this. I am now convinced that parachutes are a waste of money. To show my support for this idea, I will be jumping out of a plane without a parachute to show that it is perfectly safe!

@neilhimself Glad to learn you're over here in the fediverse and a very belated "Welcome Aboard!" Did Cat Mihos also setup over here? When I was trying to get a birthday autograph for my wife several years ago I had the opportunity to interact with her and started following her posts. I always enjoyed reading what she had to say.

@monkeyninja I don't think Cat's here. She's a marvel.

Silicon Valley’s ideology is this: Libertarianism for me. Feudalism for thee.

MediaActivist ,

It’s what happens when we have libertarianism without socialism. One without the other is bad news.

sculd ,

Libertarianism is one of the worst ideology I have ever seen.

It claims to be for freedom but whenever someone tries to implement it, it turns to be extremely oppressive.

I quite liked Western Lane and If I Survive You, but gave up on This Other Eden after one chapter (which is very unlike me, but I just did not get on with it at all)

Well, thanks to the library I did end up giving everything shortlisted for a go. Study for Obedience. Have heard a lot of criticism of the writing style, but so far I'm enjoying this quiet, eerie book. @bookstodon

Strongly recommend this book.

Author clearly explains how private equity firms are destroying essential industries, how they avoid legal responsibility for the disastrous consequences, who’s empowering them and how they can be stopped.

Private equity’s is to blame for much of the worst aspects of health care, housing crisis, the economy as well as the deepening wealth gap.

oh he didn't know what private equity was until 3-4 months into writing his book... and his employer is the Department of Justice which is the government? He looks a little egotistical considering he doesn't have much experience, feels like a smear job.

and his interviewers are even more pushing anti-capitalist rhetoric... and they make things about specific politicians...

I think they're just upset capitalists figured out how to dodge taxes by using debt lol

this is sounding less like an interesting book =[

I don't think he knows anything deep, I think this whole thing is an opinion piece
