I really like these words by Joseph Stiglitz, it's not an exact quote, I do it by memory, and I have only read this book, it's either from The Price of Inequality or from The Great Divide, in translation, but it's something like this: some seem to believe that money spent in the private sector is spent efficiently even if it's spent in the casino — I think it's very spot-on 😂

That is why I'm not calling it their sole purpose, but it's still their primary one — by definition. Although there are other types of organization, but those are relatively new concept and I don't think we're talking about them.
I'm also not stating that government is necessarily big and bad, I'm just comparing their bureaucracy and power/influence to that of a state/govt, nor am I even American, but thanks for the book recommendation anyway 😁

@AlSweigart @jasongorman

@samueljohnson
Not surprising, considering they get as bureaucratic and inefficient when they grow this big and their power to influence things in a way that is beneficial only to them and no one else gets very close to that of a state, but their primary goal of making profits remains intact 🤷

Но это же ЖИВОЙ НАСТОЯЩИЙ АМЕРИКАНЕЦ! Срочно! С пометкой молния!!! ⚡

На фоне того, что никто более значительный не едет и уже наверное не приедет, событие конечно значительное, подавать же это в подобном ключе — это как расписаться в периферийности страны. Но для тех, на кого такие новости направлены, это может быть не очевидно 😩

Not wearing one can. How could you even read my reply in any other way? 🤔

@LALegault Both are socially acceptable ways to hurt the others — just in different ways.
Anyway, nothing contradictory here 😂

I only get on there once in a month and I post anything but pictures there. I haven't read their agreement very attentively and I'm afraid that if I post a photo of my cats they might steal their souls 🙀

Do I have to bash some Google employees to make it fall out of them? Wow, that's an interesting development 🤔
Maybe if I'm lucky enough, someone drops a ring of +10 resistance to WebP 😂

@kirby
Sure, what do you have? Anything to ease my IED targeted at Google? 😏

That would be the best case scenario for me TBH, but they keep giving me bicycles… or motor cycles — all kinds of .*cycles and… I HATE them 🤬
