If AI takes all the jobs and consolidation of wealth continues it’s not an unlikely outcome. No income no spending = dead economy, poverty and starvation.

What are do people do when their government and capitalism fails them?

It’s a lot more complicated financially for people. You used to not have to rely on dual incomes just to survive. Wealth inequity, housing affordability, and healthcare have all changed. This is why many are choosing to have kids later in life or not even at all because of those reasons and even the environment with climate change it’s a hard decision to make to bring new life into this world to suffer in it.

I guess bsky.net and bluesky.net were taken. What’s weird is why ICANN allowed .network TLD at all when .net already existed, was shorter, and meant for that.

Last I checked Automattic is a privately held for profit company. One could argue that it’s a private equity too. Just using different words to twist a narrative.

How can you use the trademark defense after over a decade of non enforcement? They and others in the space are highly likely covered under fair use.

Matt why are you only targeting them? Trademark must be defended against all not just one. Do you really believe they are the only ones? Are you going to go after everyone next?

Respectfully given the timing of waiting over a decade to use the trademark approach, I think your actions are going to destroy everything you worked hard to create. I hope you soon reflect on the domino effect this will have in time.

Matt. You are rich. What is behind your motivations here? You seem to be very candid and passionate about this but I must be missing something. Why spend your time doing this? What’s your end goal?

Is there a way to add in another data point with this for new home construction cost to look for correlations?

I sometimes agree with this theory, however in practice the past few years have shown us that interest rate increases have little effect after all. People were predicting that interest rates would crash the housing market and nothing significant happened.

All of the input costs to new construction go up over time (labor, materials, licenses, services) and new home pricing has an anchoring effect on the existing home market.

Money is power and the supply is finite. The disproportionate amount of money that CEOs make compared to the average worker is basically enabling modern day kings when you factor in political influence of money. It’s what is fueling continuous wealth inequality levels which keep being broken.

The thing is that the one roof doesn’t affect all your entire customer base. That isn’t quite a fair comparison to make due to the nature of software scale, but I can relate to the sentiment.
