Are We Transitioning From Capitalism to Silicon Serfdom?::The idea that we are entering an era of techno-feudalism that will be worse than capitalism is chilling and controversial. We asked former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis to elucidate this idea, explain how we got here, and map out some alternatives.

They get yelled at by old men in procedures that typically make their interrogators look foolish at best, then are fined what amounts to a minor rounding error and change nothing. Because for the time being, congress and the donors that get congress elected benefit from the absurd profits being collected.

Right? All the fuckers yelling at them are 70-90 years old and don't even understand the shit they are yelling at him about. They certainly understand how their portfolio is doing, though.
