    Pathetic and predictable. Almost as if the market doesn’t always regulate itself and governments have to fucking hold them accountable.

    But I’m sure they already ran athousand adds boasting about their great promiss.

      They certainly have. I’ve complained to NYT several times over their full page BP greenwashing ads, citing misinformation. I don’t suppose it helps, but it’s nice to at least push. I even emailed back and forth with a real person over it, so I got that going for me which is nice.

          I’m not looking to put real names out here for someone at NYT customer service just doing their job, but you can reach a real person through “contact us” in the app settings. NYT is a legit company with real customer service, but it probably only works if you’re a paid subscriber. I find it cathartic to complain to companies about stuff.

      Governments can be paid off by these guys easily. It’s the civilians that need to put a stop to this. In Minecraft.

      The Market buys the government regulators and forces the competition out, thus retiring from being “a market” into being a monopoly. Eventually The Market also buys politicians, just like regulators. It’s all very stupid, don’t let the econobros distract you.
