Virtual Nation States

Companies like Google, Meta, and Apple have been allowed to expand their wealth and influence to the point that they’re effectively nation states, and should be reported on as such.

Ed Zitron - "Where's Your Ed At?".

In reference to the way technology is no longer developed by "nerds" trying to solve problems, rather, the nerds are herded into corporate cattle pens to code apps that only allow you to do the least you're willing to pay for, yet force you to pay more for critical functions that used to be considered basic functions, yet still drowning you in ads and bait and switch tricks. I highly recommend people subscribe to understand what the problems with modern technology really are.

And make no bones, I reckon this is a wholesale enslavement and theft of everything by the "one percenters."
