You don’t get how bad this is.
Fucking over people for a smidgen more margin would be bad,… but this… this is a power play, a naked power play.
It isn’t even about money, because when you do what they just did… the definition of money, property, what a ‘sale’ is… that all changes.
They’re changing the rules that the whole game is played by, not just acting cynically within those rules.
Its a brutal and naked demonstration that a corporation can just decide what property rights are, how they work for, what, like, around a billion people?
This is a what the prologue or prequel to your favorite cyberpunk story looks like.
