Oh god, the replacement of he iron workers in the skyscraper with the ruling elite class who literally contribute a tiny fraction of what they take from society is perhaps the most tone deaf take I have ever seen. Just absolutely disgusting, gutwrenching comparison, yet strangely poignant, as their goal is to make the working class disappear.

Yeah, you have to be super blind ethically to not understand that this is a highly fucked-up idea to come up and then follow through with (not that I'm surprised).

I do wonder what comes next for average people.
I used to think a UBI would solve the world's problems, but now I believe it would be just used as a method of controlling the general population. We're a ways off yet from everything being replaced by this garbage, but when the time comes, I'm nervous about what will happen.

lol Time calling a bunch of figureheads "architects" like the vapid shills that they are. None of these fucks has ever architected anything.

This feels like rage bait. From the decision itself, to praising the executives rather than the techies, to putting them up on the girder like they were the common man doing a tough and dangerous job to build our modern city. You don't just choose the worst thing at every possible decision point by accident.

Adolf Hitler was the man of the year in 1938.

Instead of a conventional portrait, the cover was an illustration by Rudolph von Ripper entitled 'From the unholy organist, a hymn of hate'.


Stalin in 1939 and 1942.

There are a lot of lame ones, now that I look.

Richard Nixon in 1971 and 1972, the latter of which he shared with Henry Kissinger.

Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979. Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1983. George H.W. Bush in 1990.

Ted Turner in 1991. Sure, Time.

Newt Gingrich?!

Doesn't really matter if they say it's praise or not. The reality is that it's free press, and hardly could be said to be negative. It benefits them.
