Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Amazon is a truly amazing feat. Love him or hate him, you have to respect Jeff Bezos from a business perspective.
I respect his underpaid workers more.
It's obvious to see why big corps and tech companies would move to subtly help "entrench" those in government that i) don't move to bust them up, and ii) help drive the bottom line either through large and/or consistent stimulus/give-aways or elimination of competition (e.g. $15/hr minimum wage).
We've reached an instance where a truly symbiotic relationship exists between the governing party and every major institution of power within the U.S. (big corps, big tech, media, education).
The liberal base's movement to the acceptance of authoritarian control or mob control is what allows this.
