Blizzard would do well to do the same, but I'm afraid that too many of the people that made Warcraft and Diablo franchises great have already left.

Technically, we are animals.
I don't know that using railroads as a model of non-monopolistic business is the best idea, but I agree with you that investors are critical to business. It's the original crowdfunding.
This spills over into Whole Foods as well, from my experience. I personally don't know quite how to feel about the idea that Amazon bought them out, but the in-store customer service is leagues above Walmart and on par with Publix.

Slightly related - not much a fan of hackernoon. The electric lime green banner at the top is essentially blinding. I had to zap the element with Ublock Origin just to read the article comfortably.

I enjoy work. I love having a task to put my mind to and solving problems.

What I don't like is the routine, having to be at work at 8:00 AM M-F or otherwise losing my livelihood.

It's the requirement and forced interaction that bothers me.

Is Werdna a boss? Cause Werdna is just Andrew spelled backwards.

Piracy is going to happen - BMG should incentivize people to buy their music rather than chase down the few who obtain it illegally. The same argument has been going on since the Napster days with Metallica.
Seems like a good excuse to exclusively pirate BMG content in protest. Some really popular labels do recording under them.
