  • So Microsoft is one of the most valuable companies in the entire world. They have a stranglehold on corporate America, power a huge the cloud infrastructure, hold one of the largest sources of telemetry/user data, and are the defacto standard of PC environments worldwide.

    Why in the fuck do they need to pivot to ads? I’m genuinely curious. Even if they lost 50% of their entire business they would still be one of the most profitable companies in the world.









  • So this is an editorial with some data cited so I will attack it on those merits.

    1. The job market is largely a dog and pony show. Companies have all the power in the world when it comes to good jobs. The “golden job market” is for low paying jobs that suck to do. Rates need to go up full stop.

    2. They are correct in housing being a huge issue for both Z and Millennials. It missed the shot however for failing to identify corporate inclusion into the housing market driving up costs. Not to mention the parasite class known as landlords which has been a problem since the era of Lords and Serfs.

    3. The inflation argument is a misdirection. Look at corporate profits. The capital class is literally bleeding the worker class dry, while also lowering the quality of service/products.

    I could go on but I encourage others to actually read the article and form your own opinions. CNN isn’t as biased as Fox or MSNBC but they ultimately put a liberal (as in liberal markets) spin on the news they choose to report.
