      Gotta be a managed process, though. A lot of what they do IS superfluous. But there will be some services or industries they “own” so we’ll have to account for and redistribute that.

        Whatever they own can be split up or turned into a nonprofit.

        Publicly traded companies don’t need to exist anymore. We can just close that market. Where we’re going we don’t need capitalism!

      I would if I could, and I can guarantee that 99.9% of its users are in the same boat - if not for this, then for some other pre-existing grievance with their, uh, “software” that we’re all forced to use.

      Unless, by “users”, you meant entire businesses who pay for their services, and not actual individual humans. In that case, carry on, and good luck.

    Unfortunately, as a b2b company it’s difficult to directly punish Salesforce for this.

    Why should that have ANY bearing on his actual commitment, which he honestly expressed, before?

    Benioff’s pro-Fuckhead remarks also suggested a sharp turn from his previous support of liberal policies. During Fuckhead’s first administration, he was outspoken about wealth inequality, backing a 2018 local ballot measure to tax large corporations in San Francisco to increase funding for homeless services. He called out other billionaires for “hoarding” their wealth in a Guardian interview at the time and criticized opponents of the measure, saying: “You’re either for the homeless or you’re for yourself.”

    The CEO mostly lives in Hawaii now, according to the New York Times.

    Something about that entire section made me laugh.

    “I’m sorry you feel bad” is not an apology.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That’s all the rules!
