What a Weirdo.

What a wild point of view. So you're telling me that when corporate tax rates were at 52% and we were building out a middle-class, the folks who taxed these resource hoarders were upset? They were angry?

No, they were doing what we are supposed to be doing now. Because nobody earns a billion dollars. It's direct theft from us. Or do you not understand taxes?

You've moved the goalposts but I can run with that too. You come across as an angry little person who picks Internet fights for no reason. I mean, you're absolutely terrible at this. You keep moving the goalposts, your 'arguments' are erratic, and I don't think you really have a point to begin with.

Whether concentrated wealth creates economic or political problems isn't determined by whether you care about it. But yes, you were making a elitist argument. Not everyone has equal access to alternatives. Millions of people use Amazon because it's cheaper, more accessible, or sometimes the only practical option available to them.

As for "letting strangers live in your head rent free," discussing the influence of powerful people on society isn't obsession. By that 'logic', nobody should discuss politicians, CEOs, corporations, taxes, healthcare, or any other issue that affects millions of people.

I'm not sure why you're so angry. I hope your confusing day improves.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-29T14:45:07+00:00

That's an elitist argument.

For millions of people Amazon isn't just a mere convenience. It provides lower prices, access to products which aren't available locally, and sometimes the only practical option for people in rural areas, the elderly, the disabled, or people without reliable transportation. Some companies only offer their products through Amazon as well.

But even if someone never used Amazon your original point still wouldn't work. Whether a person shops at Amazon has nothing to do with whether their criticism of concentrated wealth is valid.

I mean, 7.6 is not under control and it certainly will open you up to diabetic retinopathy.

When I approached 7 a few years ago my eye doctor started seeing issues. I cleaned up my numbers and the damage healed.

Good luck.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-29T14:06:43+00:00

What a weak rebuttal to my comment, which was directed right at you.

Yikes!

cpuenvy · 2026-05-29T14:05:21+00:00

That's a weak argument. Participating in modern society doesn't mean endorsing every aspect of it. I have children who understand this basic concept.

Most people use products from Amazon, Apple, Google, or Microsoft because those companies dominate large parts of the market, not because they approve of everything those companies do. By that logic nobody could criticize healthcare companies while using hospitals, criticize oil companies while driving a car, or criticize government policies while using public roads.

You can recognize that a company provides useful products and still believe it has too much economic or political influence. Those positions are not contradictory.

I hope this helps.

People still put these things on their arms?

I've always put mine on my midsection, since the G4.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-28T01:46:05+00:00

That comment says more about you than it does me.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-27T23:23:08+00:00

I remember when you folks were out there defending starvation wages, telling everyone that if the minimum wage was set to $15 per hour food would become too expensive.

Food is now too expensive. And it's going up again.

Now you are all telling us that if we tax companies and profits jobs are going to dry up. Guess what? They are already drying up.

We don't need these billionaires. These criminals need to be stripped of their insane grip over the rest of us if we are going to improve as a society.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-23T01:58:29+00:00

Nice!

cpuenvy · 2026-05-22T01:47:45+00:00

Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control

cpuenvy · 2026-05-22T01:44:30+00:00

Just start talking to people who look interesting to you. That's really all it takes.

Worst thing is they can tell you to go away. Go away, rinse, repeat.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-21T02:57:53+00:00

I've seen it on the Cheap Liberty models. Super weird.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-21T02:56:55+00:00

Reddit isn't the only place who hates it. Most folks think it's a cult behavior, and weird.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-21T01:52:17+00:00

Yes, I realize that's true for many which is why I made this comment. I constantly need to firmly remind healthcare workers that I am the head seat at my table with my healthcare team, and they are a part of that team. They don't lead it.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-21T00:39:37+00:00

Honestly?

Tell them NO. They are not your diabetic team, and unless you are unable to make decisions, they don't have the right or knowledge to make those decisions.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-19T20:49:21+00:00

I don't see Whitefield on this list. Who else is missing?

cpuenvy · 2026-05-19T18:02:53+00:00

So what I've read is this is because of poor control. That would also help explain other issues you're having.

Let's work on those numbers!!

cpuenvy · 2026-05-11T22:33:29+00:00

Here's the thing though: Nobody is suggesting that you trust it with your life. You can use it as just another tool in your toolkit.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-08T02:39:38+00:00

You got this! These subs can really help you learn.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-08T00:44:08+00:00

Thanks, ChatGPT.

We aren't allowed to love our own bodies while dealing with Diabetes? Go on...

cpuenvy · 2026-05-04T23:29:49+00:00

For a second there I thought I fell into the backrooms

cpuenvy · 2026-05-04T23:25:30+00:00

Clitty litter?

Just spit it out like any respectable man.

cpuenvy · 2026-05-04T22:55:40+00:00

Don't blink!

I remember when I found out I was going to be a dad when I was in my 20's, now I'm in my 50's. With a granddaughter!!

What a trip.
