The systems that enabled the individual to sell 100 million copies of that software were built on exploitation, so while the individual hasn't done anything unethical, it is a system problem not an individual billionaire problem. This is like toddler level socialist theory my guy
Grant Slatton@GrantSlatton
what do the "no such thing as ethical billionaires" people say about an individual who codes a great app that sells 100 million copies for $10 each who was exploited? zero marginal cost goods are weird
English
Basically immediately because under socialist/communist theory the concept of a bosses "profits" are secured only by paying their workers less than the value they produced. You could delete boss and profit, then lower prices and have cheaper burgers for everyone
Carl@HistoryBoomer
You start a burger joint: Boomer Burgers. You hire 10 people to run it, and it makes money. Ok? You branch out and build 2 more joints. You make more money. You keep building new BBs. Dozens. Hundreds. Thousands. At what point does the money you're making become "unearned"?

@bamabutler1985 @blkprofcct So red states should have all republican senators and representatives?
English
@IMXunderground @blkprofcct Exactly. Because we aren’t a pure democracy and were never meant to be a system where 51% of people could take away the rights of the other 49%.
English
The fact that almost EVERY former confederate state is moving to completely eliminate Black representatives almost immediately after the SCOTUS decision should be more than enough proof that voting rights still need protection and racism is far from gone in this country.

People lose football
People lose a war, and they lose the land

@PramilaJayapal Please clearly detail what you mean when you use the word “healthcare”
I think that’s the first step to identifying realistic services that can be provided. Otherwise, you’ll never get anywhere
English
Health care is a human right.
Not a privilege. Not a benefit you earn at a job that could disappear tomorrow. Not something you ration because you're afraid of the bill.
A right.
I've been fighting for Medicare for All because I've seen what happens when people can't afford to see a doctor. They wait. They get sicker. Some of them don't make it.
We are the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We can do this. We just need the political will to fight for it.
That's what we're building. Together. 💜

@BuenoForMiami @carolinecwilder This is where libertarians lose their way.

@carolinecwilder Just don’t watch it. Pretty simple.
Why do you think you should decide what other adults can do? That’s the better question.

@magicpanda_703 Do you ever notice that liberals hate states with high black populations?

Tennessee has 3rd world life expectancy, war zone like violent crime rates, and its infant mortality rate rivals the poorest countries in the world.
No, Tennessee is nothing like Massachusetts.

@tylerhenson I’m glad that Tennessee is now like Massachusetts

I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks and it was like having a period all at once. That’s it. No big deal. I flushed the aborted tissue down the toilet.
🦢@ZainabSana2622
Human life in the 1st trimester is amazing: 3 weeks - baby's heart beats 105 times/minute 6 weeks - baby has brain waves 7 weeks - baby kicks & jumps 9 weeks - baby sucks thumb, stretches The abortion pill kills babies at these ages The FDA must remove it from the market!

@GarbageGangHQ Non-users paying for someone else’s goods and services is what socialism is. In this case, the corporation is the beneficiary, but it’s still a socialist structure.
English
@IMXunderground This is an effect of capitalism. Not sure how you don’t understand this.

Pretty cool that my electric bill has gone up 25% so other people can make this crap.

It’s sad that in 2026 we still pay all teachers on the same pay scale regardless of class composition or effectiveness of the teacher, with a few rare exceptions. In almost every industry, the best performers earn more. We need to figure this out for teachers.

@BrianAtlas @MattWalshBlog A separate panel of 7 or 9 judges should be comprised of retired judges in each state should decide all death penalty sentences. The regular trial judge/jury can only sentence someone to face this separate panel, they will weigh the evidence and level of guilt before sentencing.
English
Perhaps this individual deserves to die. However, innocent people have been put to death via the death penalty. While false imprisonment is still unjust, an innocent can hopefully be exonerated and later freed. You can’t undo a killing. You can later free an innocent person. Thus it should be outlawed so as to protect the innocent. Life in prison to the truly guilty of heinous crimes is the compromise and balance of macro level justice.
English
I am challenging any death penalty opponent — there are millions of them, allegedly — to step up to the plate right now and explain why this guy should not be executed. His guilt is established beyond any doubt whatsoever. His crime is utterly savage and heinous. Tell us why he doesn’t deserve to die. Go ahead.

@PeterSchiff @SenSanders Let’s be real here though. Amazon has put 10s of thousands of people out of business, so he can’t take some sort of victory lap. People have always been employed in some fashion. Better jobs should be the metric
English
@SenSanders Yes, but Bezos employs over 1.5 million people at Amazon. That’s a lot of jobs he created, even after some layoffs. How many jobs have you created? For all the value Bezos has provided his customers and employees, he deserves a yacht. What value have you provided to anyone?
English
The reality of American life today: Jeff Bezos, worth $290 billion, spent:
$10 million on the Met Gala
$120 million on a penthouse
$500 million on a yacht
Meanwhile, he‘s planning to throw 600,000 Amazon workers out on the streets and replace them with robots.
Unacceptable.

@AmanitaFugax We’ve built plenty, these people still exist, they just moved outside of the city limits.
In fact, people relocating probably necessitated more building than if they had stayed.
English
The fact that our cities used to regularly absorb double digit percentage point increases in population every decade is incredibly telling about how far we’ve fallen in our ability to build
Midwest Antiquarian@Eric_Erins
Why is my TL filled with people talking about Detroit being gentrified. You can’t have a population timeline like this and have people moving into the city be a serious concern
