>the causes of the disaster appear to be tied to bureaucratic ineptitude."
I'd say it's a trend from the top leadership. Unfortunately, despite this fact, they are going to try to pin it on someone.

This is great. I read on James Clear's Atomic Habit to make these tough habits easy and convenient so you don't constantly think about it.

Why are we downvoting this? It is the most fair assessment of the tech industry. FAANG might vacate large office spaces completely and shift status quo in real estate, VC and startups for the next 10 years.

Why can't the CEO talk to the client more politely? Even with a kick ass product, most companies call centers take time to assist frustrated and angry clients. If the client is unreasonable, simply send a formal email explaining termination procedures but don't call them assholes.

Even more pronounced is the silence of life long legislators who were always opposed to this kind of strong man government all along.
Ps: I side with Trump on this one. Just hate the fact that no Republican opposes him anymore.

I was replying to the fact that essentially in China you cant poke fun at the CCP in any way. Videos of Winnie the Pooh constumes will get you banned even in the US and possibly get you on a Chinese watch list for when you travel to the mainland and Hong Kong too nowadays.
There is all this flashy stuff, dances, lip sync, jokes and all that but a sinister shadowy world in the background. Just wondering when people are going to abandon convenience and take up freedom.

Triller is trying really hard. They were first to market but haven't grown as fast.
