      There was a French explorer who “discovered” America four years before Columbus. So Columbus’ erasure wouldn’t even affect the one purpose he had.

    Reagan probably. If my understanding of history is correct, its the only thing that doesn’t delete me but helps the most.

    Jack Welch’s whole business philosophy.

    Before him, it was more or less understood that business owners had a responsibility to do what was best for their customers, their employees, their communities, and their company’s long-term sustainability; the companies that didn’t (or didn’t at least make it look like they were) were looked down upon.

    Welch was the first one to popularize the notion that short-term shareholder value was the CEO’s highest priority. He normalized companies’ c-suites being cutthroat, craven capitalists.

    To be sure, not everything that’s wrong with the world today can be laid at his feet. But late-stage capitalism can.

    The Thanos Snap has sooo many problems associated with it. It’s developed by an evil multinational that doesn’t listen to its users and keeps trying to force itself on the universe.

    People should use the Thanos Flatpak instead…
