When you’re the biggest shop in your town it’s because you do good work.

When you’re the biggest shop in the world it’s because you’re scamming your clients.

That’s the system we have right now and it doesn’t work. Soooo…

This is like you breaking up with a toxic girlfriend and she tells you “oh yeah well other people are still gonna date me idiot!”

Really? Have you been on the internet?

Politics only mimics what the people are already interested in. And social media made the people interested in hating eachother. Until that changes politics won’t change.

Because the #1 reason why employees will stay at a job that underpays them is because they like the people they work with. And you can’t form those bonds remotely.

Even if they do remove it, I'm sure a browser extension will just step in to mimic it as best as possible.
