Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

I think it’s so awesome how many people developed a disease where they think that giving someone 20 dollars means you are now their indentured servant. They think they’re shark tank & making a big investment and not someone who bought a toy that said “work in progress” and already played with it.

“I wish steam would hold funds for Early Access games, and only release chunks of the funds once the game passes milestones, That way users who invest can get partial refunds for unfinished games, and the devs are held more responsible for being unable to deliver.

Many loyal steam users are sick of these shady devs getting our hopes up and promising the world, only to have wasted 20-30 $ on a game, that didn't even make it past what most of us would consider an ALPHA release (beta would be at least playable).”

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin. Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating. Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business. The list goes on. We must not become numb to this corruption.
