I haven't seen this take spreading much yet, so posting it here too:

Canada needs to start stealing IP from the US and violating their copyright. Create and sell jailbreaks for American hardware.

That was part of the free-trade agreement, so there's no reason to continue honoring it at this point.

I've been using Kagi for a bit. If I search for things one can buy, I get results similar to Google.

What have you found lacking in DDG for online shopping?

Oh he's going further. He's saying no one even needs a car.

Pure, privileged delusion.

I just got it.

The answer is that you're fine supporting companies that rape and pillage the earth.

So you don't have a smartphone or personal computer, then?

Oh you're gonna pretend to be serious. Okay I will too.

Nobody needs a smartphone or personal computer. Libraries and cyber-cafes exist.

So you agree, your line of reasoning is a joke.

How are you even accessing Lemmy from your completely sustainable hut in the wilderness?

Or are you saying it's okay to support the destruction of the planet as long as you require infrastructure?

It's simply that this is a Canada vs the US thing, not a left vs right thing.

Ford is a meat-headed bully, which just happens to come in handy against another meat-headed bully.

What Canada needs to start doing is violating US copyright and stealing their IP. Sell jailbreaks for American hardware.

That was part of the free-trade deal, so why would Canada keep up that side of the bargain?

He sells a subscription-on-wheels. Any environment benefits are just gravy on top.

Which is why the capitalist argument is never that they physically performed enough labour to earn that amount. The argument is that they took risks that paid off in that amount.

Selling newspapers is an example of work.

co-founded John Paul Mitchell Systems in 1980 with just $700. Later, he launched Patrón Tequila, revolutionizing the premium tequila market.

"Co-founding" is spending money and "launching" is a concept. What work did he do?

Can you give a practical example of how someone can start with no money, and "work" their way up to $1B?

What a mean thing to say for no reason...

No, obviously not before he was murdered. When did I say that? With the facts we have now, it seems to me like he deserved the fate that was brought to him: death.

The CTO and CDO are just a quick Google search away -- like I said, they would be at the top of the chain of command for all the tech systems they're using to maximise profit. What more do you need to know to make the call?

Is self defense a necessary component of killing then? Or do you think it is justified to kill to save another? A family member for example?

Yup, sure.

I don’t know much about them, and I am not for meaningless murder, so I would not support their deaths.

And you knew more about Brian Thompson before he was murdered? I don't buy it.

I believe that you have missed a few questions of my own in your response, however.

Didn't miss them, just not moving on from mine first.

Do you believe there are circumstances where someone can deserve death?

Of course.

And if so, what are those circumstances?

Not sure it's possible to give an exhaustive list. One example would be that someone has a gun pointed at me with clear intent to kill me. I would be justified in killing them before they can pull the trigger.

So the CTO and CDO? Murder, or no?

So the CTO and CDO -- you'd like them to be murdered yeah? Since they would have been in charge of the infamous AI.

Who else in the C-suite would you like to be murdered?

What about presidents? VPs? Directors? Maybe just a light stabbing?
