There's just the one Brock Allen Turner, rapist, of which I'm aware. This other guy, though, needs to be made as famous as Brock.

They at least claimed to aspire to it until about 2015. Whether they succeeded is another matter, but at least there was an advertised intent to do good. Looking at the history of it, it feels like they were earnest at the beginning, but lost their ideals as the billions started to roll in.

What's the guys name? You're right that we need to treat him like that other rapist, Brock Allen Turner.

I'm hoping some of the other nations will provide us a way to escape by accepting those of us that wish to leave. I fully intend to try to get my family out if the worst comes to pass. As a white man with a black wife and a biracial son, I'm frankly terrified of all the white supremacy normalization going on. I'm just not sure what countries would be willing to have us. I'm neither rich nor particularly talented, but I'm willing to learn and work.

Now you don't even have a human manager on-site with whom you could reason who is familiar with the facts on the ground, I guess. No possibility of the workers being able to advance, too, possibly.

Techno-feudalism is turning out to be just as awful as any of the dystopian visions we've seen from writers over the past few decades, but it's also awful in new, unique ways.

Yep. Seeing that a lot today for some reason.

Drop the quotation marks. They're quite literally screwing us over.
