Not hard for anyone paying attention

That’s how publicly traded companies work, profits above all else.

Good thing Valve isn’t publicly traded!

How would steam crack down on gambling sites they don’t own and trades they don’t know are linked to those sites?

One of you depends on people wanting aganecy in their own lives and a fair world, the other depends on everyone being literally too dumb and selfish to do the bare minimum to keep society from collapsing without a gun held to their head.

I know which world I would rather be living in

Usually when fascists want to illegally stay in power they declare martial law or commit a coup.

Since he’s already tried to commit a coup we should probably expect him to do it again.

Why is steam/valve bad?

They are a privately owned company with 100% focus on customer service and sustainably.

Yeah they charge like 10% of profit for the games on there, and more if you make it big. To be on the only platform where people actually shop for PC games…

Nobody has ever given me a real problem with Steam where some other company isn’t already doing significantly worse shit in comparison.

This leads to the total collapse of global society

In reality nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

As long as corporate landlords are allowed to set their own prices then the prices will never come down.

Lmao yeah sure, conpared to now, where the government sets taxes and you pay it already? That doesn’t sound much different tbh

Voting for anyone besides Trump was the objectively correct decision.

Sorry spite makes it hard for you to process reality

Rich bros print the crypto currency with no accountability.

Governments print real money.

FTFY

Like most new technologies these days, blockchain doesn’t add anything besides a layer of plausible deniability for the rich to hide behind when they inevitably steal from the poor.

Currency, the term you are looking for is currency.

The way you exchange value for goods and services without needlessly attaching an energy wasting puzzel game to it is to not do it!

Just have physical or digital currency in USD or some other real world currency that doesn’t require a blockchain and doesn’t have its amount artificially capped by processing power. It’s a dumb idea made by con men to take money from people.

You should make yourself do things that make you uncomfortable because it’s good for you.

You’re expected to keep your head in the sand, work for a fraction of the value of your labor until you die, too late for you to realize your life has been stolen.

People who want to know what the fuck is happening around them have to read the news and learn about the world in order to do that.

People are also more poor in general.

Wages have been stagnating for over 50 years.

Independence requires financial independence.

It’s not possible to meaningfully participate in society without disposable income.

This leads to the avg person having less power and influence than almost any of their ancestors.

Unfortunately nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

How much time do you willingly spend in public interacting with others?

There was a lot more of it happening before society required everyone to have personal transportation.

I’m an introvert so I am at home, work, or errands. I probably would talk to a lot more strangers if I had to use public transport and it wasn’t so expensive to do anything fun in public.
