Time to disrupt banking by making it go the way of rotary phones.

Foisting belief someone like paulg is worth billions given cherry picked math that makes it so does not make paulg special.

It’s traditional political corruption embedded in the minds of inept and infirm, shell shocked by war, made paranoid by cold wars, that makes the rich rich.

It’s policing society to make us all believe Elon or Billy G are wealthy.

Propaganda and information shaping from war era government research was gifted to university and converted into behavioral economics, advertising, and marketing programs. Americans are oblivious they’re just eating their own farts and BS.

The answer is simple of course, which is why no one does anything; the political and finance systems are in cahoots to enrich themselves and so such common sense policing to insure the stability of the system everyone relies on is not allowed.

Finance crimes are low tech and have not evolved much as they don’t need to; there’s no policing.

Have a go at it, elites scream communism and the like, and rile up the 2nd Amendment fan boys, only to throw the ones that go over the line in jail to keep up appearances.

I’ve been noting and watching this same social ebb and flow since the 80s. The kids/teens then who soaked that reality up live it still today. IMO memory is why we had a mini-Reagan in Trump grow so popular.

The reason such things you point out are allowed is they’ve always been allowed from the perspective of those benefiting from them. If the system was stable and accountable to the masses, the phony winners rich off mathematical inference but too inept to keep themselves alive would of course be subject to a terrible regime should elites be required to pull on their boot straps; a figurative identity of being coddled is all they know!

“This never happens with computers.”

Smartphones are computers.

Creating artificial product categories, taxonomy, is why we’re in this predicament.

Semantic woo is leveraged to decide a smartphone is not a general purpose computer such that corporate entity can label it new thing and set new expectations.

Intellectual property law and protections need to be thrown in the garbage, no device sold without being unlocked.

It’s thought policing when I’m convinced a general purpose computer (smartphone) is something else altogether. We live in a carceral society that’s extracting our agency to coddle a handful of replaceable figureheads.

War is peace. Apple is anti-1984.
