Have we forgotten about the Silicon Valley Bank crash already
That was in part caused by peter thiel who called for a run on those banks.
Peter thiel is also the guy that wants these banks. That wants “freedom cities”. That want to make sure you have zero freedom and privacy. That bank rolled JD Vance, and trump. And has explicitly stated his desires to destroy western society and financial order.
So…
Yeah, I remember.
SVB was intentionally crashed by tech bros like Peter Thiel, likely as a strategic move to lobby for change in the banking sector / to gain more access for tech companies. The bank operated in a risky space, with too high a concentration of tech bro customers. This left them exposed to Thiel and crowd going “Hey, look at the balance sheet, if we all withdrew our money at once we can pop this bank and trigger a discussion about banking regulations / reform!”.
So, no one forgot, it’s all part of the same larger plan really.
Ladder kicking is really a good metaphor for many things that happened in the last 30 years.
Microsoft raises on interoperability and ergonomics and no bullshit, then starts making it so that nobody after it could.
Google raises on the web being open and interoperable and standard, then starts making it so that nobody after it could.
Facebook … was always crap, but its initial advantage was being populated by real people and not bots, the same.
The fucking healthcare conglomerate (owned by UnitedHealth, yes that one) that bought up the majority of medical practices in my region just sent me a completely unsolicited debit or credit card.
They don’t provide my health insurance. They’re just who owns most of the doctors offices around here.
On the bright side you might be able to buy groceries with robux and vbucks soon
Everyone does. T-Mobile has their own credit card.
T_mobile doesn’t force its users to get their credit card, or force them to use it, or force them to enlist their friends and family to get one.
If Big Tech has their way, all of these things and Andy Rooney will be yours in less than 60 minutes.
….yet. They all start somewhere. It just needs enough people to get caught in the net
Gee I hope people are working on truly decentralised open source alternatives.
Gifting cryptocurrency to the fascists and crypto bros has been a massive fumble from the left.
No one is being "forced"to do anything. What a bullshit, psyop article.
You are forced to use the US dollar though. Or not be able to buy anything.
I’m so glad the majority of Lemmy is no longer Democrat gimps
