Dr. Oz is a heart surgeon, but that doesn't prevent him from selling bullshit.

Unpopular opinion but I agree. Maybe I don't hang around enough stinky people, but I've encountered far more instances of punch-in-the-face perfume/cologne than body odor.

This is why I always check the ingredients list.

Advancing tech was sold as a way to make all our lives better. Here is an instance of tech making our lives better, but instead companies dismiss it because the real purpose of tech for the capital class is control.

Here is the site: https://impressive.net/games/barney/fun.cgi

It uses the isMap image element to send the coordinates of where you clicked on the image and then returns an updated image created by the server.

You're so right, support for genocide was just a minor mark against perfection. Keep compromising, soon you'll be agreeing that democrats shouldn't fight for marriage equality because some other issue is on the table and we shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of slightly better than rabid nazis.

Not just Bill Gates, huh?

"900 corporate staffers were also laid off as part of a $1 billion restructuring following six straight quarters of sales decline.".

The idea that spending on coffee or avocado toast or whatever single food/drink item is causing a widespread drop in home ownership is idiotic enough, but this absolute moron managed to pick something with hard evidence of declining sales.

The non-corrupt ones are a tiny minority and get drowned out by well-funded opposition. If the tide even hints at turning then the billionaires turn to straight-up fascism, as we're seeing now.

In 2016 both Hillary and Trump had a lower than 50% approval rating and yet they were the frontrunners: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2018/08/09/an-examination-of-the-2016-electorate-based-on-validated-voters/

Congress has a less than 50% approval rating and it's made up of elected politicians: https://www.statista.com/statistics/207579/public-approval-rating-of-the-us-congress/

We don't have a democracy, we have a system where you can only choose which representative for billionaires you dislike the least. They're all corrupt, any that aren't are quickly drowned out by well-funded opposition.
