“desperately”

Are you sure you’re outside the bubble? Because the taxi industry could have done with some improvement, but it didn’t “desperately” need “disruption”. People got from a to b just fine, and drivers got paid.

The only thing that desperately needs disruption is the destructive influence SV has on societies that were doing just fine before its “disruption”.

In tech, "places for grown-ups" would be a good start.

You call out activists, but this strategy of hate and othering is mostly used by esteblished political groups and religions.

They just don't have to be as aggressively vocal about it, because they already yield enough power and influence to use a more moderate tone of voice. But what they actually do is equally hateful and vitriolic.

I'm so tired of this bullshit right wing propaganda. It's been going on for decades, and always uses the same formula:

1) Europe (a non-existent as a nation, even purely geographically it's blurry) is in crisis/dying/crumbling. Optional addition: because socialism.

2) The solution is to be like the glorious USA.

Whether you agree with it or not, calling the German demands "asset stripping" is sheer propaganda.

The privatisation of these government properties is EU policy Greece signed up for long before the crisis, and like so many other policies and agreements simply refused to carry out.

Stopped reading this infantile crap.

"super awesome!" "super difficult"

Like reading the diary of a teenage girl.
