So confused by this because I thought Santa owned that particular means of production by himself.

They give out the products for free for the good of humanity though. I don't know if you can call it private ownership if it's a non-profit.

Now you've got me thinking about it, they distribute those products incredibly unevenly, with most presents going to the wealthy and middle class, in wealthy nations.

It's definitely not progressive. Also there's the bullying over (nose) colour that has historically gone on there, with leadership turning a blind eye.

It tells us alot about the character of poor people. The naughty get less, the nice kids get a lot. Don't confuse cause and effect, you get born in a poor family because you are evil. Google karma. That's why poor people have a higher crime rate, it's not because being poor is criminalized, which is also true but not the reason. /s if not obvious

Good point, the more presents you get the better you must be. It's also about choices. Evil children choose to be born to poor parents. /s

If it's free, you are the product. Isn't he keeping a list who's naughty who's nice? Do you have any idea what amount of data is needed for that and how valuable this data is?

I mean the optics of an unpaid staff of non human yet sapient creatures working for a humanoid authoritarian who punishes children with fossil fuels are.... Uhh.. bad.

Santa uses spyware to collect private information without consent. On children, too.

Still unethical business practices for the enslavement and overworking of his workers.
