Enshittification is a consequence of private equity investments, so no. Companies who don’t take money from private equity will actually innovate. Whether they can survive the monopolies that do take private equity investments is another question.

The real problem is the need for constant revenue growth. If a company doesn’t care about constantly growing their revenue, they can put their funds toward long term projects that may not pay out until many years down the road. Those are the companies that truly innovate.

Plus there’s always room for new companies to come in and innovate, even with private equity money. Just don’t expect that from the already established companies.

One great thing about working at a big tech company is that they would give us field trips. Like, legit, we’re all gonna go play at the Imaginarium kind of field trips.

It's almost like maybe we shouldn't have elected the guy.

Once one person has all the power, they de facto have all the wealth. Slaves don't own anything.

Wasn't there a Star Trek episode about this?

We're the bad planet that the Federation has an existential crisis over helping.

Ideally, there would be no more health insurance execs to be mad at, because the exploitative health insurance industry would be abolished. That's what literally everyone except the health insurance execs and investors want.

Oh gosh, wouldn't that be just the worst thing.

That's required in Texas.
