This is also known as "Libertarian Socialism." Interestingly enough, this idea predates the current definition of Libertarianism by decades.

Google is basically ran like Boeing. Their goal is to maximum the stock price regardless of long-term consequences.

It's also why there's no way Google can sustain these numbers. They pay workers like a random startup, just without any possibility of striking it rich on stock options. They are likely to be hemorrhaging talent at all engineering positions.

Honestly, Microsoft bought them because they thought it can magically catapult them to #1 in the gaming industry. And they have, in a sense. The advantage of having so much money that you can buy your way into the industry. But the problem is that Microsoft has no idea what to do next.

There's zero chance that that poll was conducted properly. It claims that Trump is getting more Black support than any Republican since Eisenhower this year. That even includes Trump himself from both 4 and 8 years ago!

Cheating of this sort is almost always about someone who is already very good at the game. But it's simply not enough. They want to be the greatest, or do the impossible. They want to be legends instead of just being really good. And usually the only way to do that is to cheat.

Saying "both sides are equally bad" is a common tactic for those who want the bad side to win.

The problem is his dishonesty. It's likely watching Foxnews or Newsmax. Sure, you can do it, but unless you're intentionally about seeing the "other side" then it's a waste of time. You're just exposing yourself to right-wing and fascist propaganda.

The "midas touch" is basically just securities fraud. Something he can't get away with forever.
