nepotism is bad only when it results are bad

Nepotism innately steers things in the wrong direction

Good results are a matter of luck after that. A glitch, and not a feature.

im not a fan of royalty for example, but their empires have been the most stable troughout history

Stable for the sake of what?

good results are a matter of luck... oof

They don't create liberty and are fundamentally useless to me.

Sorry, what makes Walmart a joke now? They're still making tons of money, they just need to get a foothold against Amazon

how free do you want to be? i can kill anyone i want free, or do you agree there should be limits and responsibilities?

Which is a market wide problem

Wait, wait. Making tons of money keeps you from being a joke?

News to me.

On what basis is Walmart a joke? The purpose of a company is to make money. It does

Microsoft makes money too.

They fucked skype in the ass.

Hence, everyone now uses discord.

Old people still use AOL.

i doubt many even know what discord is

aol isn't a thing anymore.

It's *new.*

Skype is bad now.

>my anecdotes mean it's a joke

I notice no one is defending skype's quality.

Just that people use it.

Skype has been bad for years. Hasn't stopped it

That's true

Doesn't make MS a joke. It's a successful product

we dont need to defend its quality to make the point that people still use it

The goalpost!! It's sprinting away!!

Get back here you!!

aol quit its free model though, tried to make a pay service that no one bought into

--Err.
