You don't get to profit by wrecking society and then throw a few pennies to the less fortunate to let you off the hook.

Not only are billionaires sociopathic thieves, but whenever they decide to give back whatever miniscule portion of what they've stolen, they get to decide unilaterally where it goes – which is why it's especially revolting to me when people try to "but philanthropy tho!!" their way out of the undeniable reality that billionaires are a sickness and shouldn't exist.

Still pushing those stupid spy glasses I see.

I’m into VR. But I’m surprised how well these glasses are doing. They are so low on features, yet Meta reports they are doing pretty well in their small market.

One day smart glasses will be as popular as smart watches. But these current glasses are still chunky, underpowered, under-featured, and lame.

I will be interested to see what people come up with to prevent being filmed by these things. Personal jammers? Reflective sunscreen?

Gotta get your own anti-smart glasses with infared LED's to blind the cameras.

Zuck figures that the money is in sucking up to other oligarchs and is the way to go from here on out.
