    This isn’t a ‘painful day for tech titans.’

    Corporations don’t feel pain. C*Os insulate themselves from it. They’re getting steadily richer, probably making more money than you’ll ever see in your life.

    This is a good day for tech consumers. That should have been the headline.

      I get depressed whenever I read about those salaries. I get paid the bare minimum to pay the bills. I will never have the life those people have - not that I care about luxury, but simply not having to worry about basic necessities.

        Life those people have is enriched with power, which I’m grateful I don’t have.

        Most people to have power are very different from Marcus Aurelius or king Canute, and very unhappy.

      This, spez for example with his almighty great ideas paid himself $193 million last year, that’s more than I’ll ever see my whole life (thanks to me being born in this fuckhole called “Eastern Europe” (technically Central but who cares, it’s just as shitty in the countries more east))
