pssst, we don't hate corporations and billionaires. We hate organizations and people that knowingly harm children for profit.


I hate billionaires!

Ok, maybe a few of them are fine people who have too much money, but the vast majority of them are in their position because they were willing to siphon money from lower classes using unethical means. Of all of the competitive advantages you can claim, the "no moral scruples" one is the most persistent.


I suspect if they fail to figure out a way to socialize the losses (they won't), than the identical lost-revenue value will be deducted from nonvoting shareholder 401k investments.

People need to understand single jurisdictions are practically meaningless for large multinational corporations like Meta. =3
