Except the coming tech is total replacement. AI is not the big threat there. Robotics however is trying to completely replace human labor. Human labor is the cost Corporations most want to eliminate.

This is probably my favorite speech from any movie. Beaty nails the role. I keep saying that Network was prophecy.

Corporate thinking can't really do long term. All they can do is try to get ahead of the other Corps in the short term. In the end Corporations don't want more money, they want all the money.

Putin has been whispering dreams of Empire in trump's ear all this time. The idea of splitting the world up between Russia, China and trumpistan has been the hook he has on him. Its how he got him to turn on NATO. trump thinks he needs to secure the west completely under the US.

I think CEOs and Corporations have been growing to the size where they rival nations. And this leads to them thinking they don't need nations any more. This is where Thiel gets his NeoFeudal Corporatocracy from. Corporations have always been organized more like Feudal systems than democracies.

Agreed. We have two fights ahead of us. Beat back the fascists. And burn out the establishment.
