If this shit sounds personal, it's because it is. I'm tired of seeing government-after-government fail to protect the public against the excesses of these scumbags. No company should be more powerful than a government. Than the people. It's time for war. whatwelost.substack.com/p/how-europe...

"I want to see Tim Cook’s head shoved in a toilet. I want to see Keir Starmer give Satya Nadella a wedgie that sees his Hanes undercrackers pulled right over his forehead — not hand him £9bn in taxpayer cash, and then sign a fucking [MOU] with OpenAI." whatwelost.substack.com/p/how-europe...
