Polarization : 2020's :: Class warfare : 1990's

And 60% of America has no fucking clue what any of the above means or how to read it.

Even if it's just one shareholder -especially when- the ownership model breaks down. Let's be honest. Bezos has no personal interest in seeing the WaPo continue its mission. He used the fucked system of ownership to insulate himself from the violence he was intent upon causing. The handful of previous owners used the same system to get rich knowing what would happen to the WaPo.

The man dropped what amounts to pocket change for him on a purchase made with bad intent. He bought it like a cheap car with the explicit goal being running the WaPo into the ground. So now that the pistons are thrown and the axle is broke he's throwing the keys in the mud and walking away.

A family gets together and decides to sell their youngest daughter to a pimp.
The pimp abuses her, sells her out, and within a year the youngest daughter is a husk of a person who is handed off to the black market for organ harvesting. That's where we are right now. Maybe your indifferent to it, but it disgusts me.

This is why journalism -and almost everything needed to make life livable- is incompatable with the share holder model @anneapplebaum

The profit motive is a death cult. Schools, papers of record, hospitals, public utilities all of them flattened into 2D vehicles for enrichment. Their intended purposes become obstacles to uninterrupted ROI.

@bart @cstross it's not a reasoned ideology. It's core ideas are anti-reason, that's why it's called reactionary. This is what a will to power looks like from ignorant people. They start from the supposition that the world can be carved into their image of how it should be.
