Because people motivated by altruism take different actions than people motivated profit?

When you believe your corporate overlords are doing things for your benefit, you're actually surprised when they fleece you.

Because if you study history, you know that the rich and powerful often offer short-term benefits (or just as often, promises of such benefits) to the masses as part of their rise to power ... and then once they achieve that power those benefits go away (or new terrible things accompany them).

If you're ignorant of history you'll be all [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] when the elites pull the rug out from under you. If you understand history, you'll at least see it coming.

The machine my boss gave me functions differently based on the content of his heart and conscience, you see.

And I, of course, can see into both his heart and mind because I'm clairvoyant.

It's ok if you don't get it.

Make sure you get your thingamabob sent to you in a timely manner and you will be good.

The Amazon product is better for me because Jeff Bezos owns a conveyor belt, useless to him, that delivers the product to me at a cheaper price and faster speed. I enjoy his wealth.

Should I be mad he owns that conveyor belt? Grrrrr grrrr grrrr.
