>Our problem is that the press isn’t doing their job ...

Well, it's practically impossible to get a person to do something when their paycheck depends on their not doing it.

Maybe when Steven Pruitt starts hallucinating facts we can make the "both sides" argument. But until then....

>Purely rhetorical--with sugar cane being so dominant, why are we turning corn into corn syrup again?

The same reason we sold a "whale oil" replacement for lamps as "food". Money. It always comes down to money.

I think he's using "rest of the world" sized people and not "american sized" ones.

> Two dozen of largest enterprises and unicorns and so on. Nobody wanted the billing department "inline" of systems controls.

And of course, two dozen enterprises trump hundreds if not thousands of other small businesses right? Did AWS think of, oh I don't know, a 'feature flag' or somesuch thing that enterprises and unicorns are so fond of to provide this feature to those who don't have VC money to flush?

But it's nice to point out to youngins who may not realize how "embrace and extend" worked historically.

I know. I'm still upset about being unable to be "happy and gay".

don't forget the "auto reset all consent flags to 'allowed'" oopsie bug.

> Mark "they trust me; dumb fucks" Zuckerberg

There's also Mark "company over country" Zuckerberg.

I had to replace a fire alarm last week, so sometimes they do shriek at us at all hours!

Yay capitalism! Imagine how much value is being created for shareholders by this destruction! Another example of "great work" being done!

Jokes aside, I don't know what I would do in this situation either. Maybe find a way to mark "rare" or "out of print" books and sell/auction the "pages"? Or make the scanned book available via some mechanism?

>please, you're dramatically overestimating who gives a shit about this.

And you're underestimating how much of a shit you need to give about this.
