Just don't go looking for the etymology of "vanilla"

I see "too big to fail" most commonly referenced when talking about the GFC of '08-'09. Nothing there happened because big players bought out smaller ones. Lehman Brothers wasn't even big, comparatively speaking

Allegedly, but not proven, right?

Why? There's nothing inherently bad about acquisitions
In fact, strong (~free) capital markets in which acquisitions happen frequently allow for more efficient (~optimal) allocation of resources over the long run, even if any single acquisition may not be locally optimal

While I appreciate the sentiment, surely that is not the reason why we should wish acquisitions to happen or fall through? There's something to be said about solving for maximum societal welfare—which may or may not be the case here, but in any event doesn't depend on any specific individual

It's the day after the YC application deadline, so my hypothesis is resources that would otherwise be dealing with these script kiddies spamming HN are spread thin at the moment...

I'm recording this, because this could be the last thing I'll ever say
The city I once knew as home is teetering on the edge of radioactive oblivion
A three-hundred thousand degree baptism by nuclear fire
I'm not sorry, we had it coming
A surge of white-hot atonement will be our wake-up call
Hope for our future is now a stillborn dream
The bombs begin to fall and I'm rushing to meet my love
Please, remember me
There is no more

So what? TFA is not about the working class nor does it need to be. Why this fixation on comparing yourselves with the poor?

False dichotomy much? That is not an argument against the parent's observation per se. One can imagine a culture that is organized, not hollow, and not only for the rich

Who said anything about comparing?
But now that we're at it, would you prefer to compare yourself to the bottom 1%?
