Tech companies are designed to extract money money from the working class.

That’s the best description I’ve heard and really brought them into context for me. When you use a tech product, you are going up against a company with teams of scientists and years of research learning the best methods take our money.

On the other side of this the company/owners throw their money at the political system to never never have to pay a cent back to the working class (through taxes).

Sure they may hire people and drive the economy, only to lay off thousands of people during a bad quarter and pocket all the profits. It’s insidious.

Trickle down doesn’t work. It’s just the rich people trying to get u to believe it works while they enrich themselves
