i feel like a lot of useless bullshit wouldn’t be made if managers and execs didn’t feel the need to validate their useless existence.

I would only argue against that definition in saying it is a bit dated. It is not the modern definition of the term.

here i am in the US and i have no idea how the US fits the defintion. A high standard of living is an important part of the definition and when only about 10-20% of the population fits into that bubble, I’m not sure if the definitions fits.

the US is 1st world?

he seems like a moron if he thinks republicans are going to “tackle big tech abuses” before democrats will.
