The financial impact is that your fucking tax money goes to bail out business owners / stock holders who then hire you and pay you a shit salary. So they profit from you in good times and profit from you in bad times. Hows that for a "free market" system? This is not capitalism/free markets, this is socialism and government intervention and its why we have a huge gap between rich and poor. Normally they would go out of business and other people would have a shot to take over that industry.

The exception is the energy sector for national security reasons. But Im hearing of bailouts for cruise lines... gtfo.

For every 1 good journalist and editor that has their career stagnate because they are not sensational or biast (or bends the knee to management agendas), there 4 shitty journalists and editors that progress because they are masters of bullshit and manipulation.

The salary and cut throat competition is why the worst rise to the top and we have this cesspool of a news feed we see now on a daily basis. I just stick to WSJ, Bloomberg, and this website to get the headlines that actually matter and ignore the rest of the bullshit.

And now the question is, how is Startpage paying Google without monetizing its users?

"the cloud" = your data is now our data on our computers (I think we all know this). When companies like Microsoft start saving my files to their personal servers as default, I hate you. Stop.
