    Rolling back anti-slavery laws would also be good for business.

    In fact some new laws making anyone whose net worth isn’t at least 50 million USD, a property of a randomly assigned mega-corporation, would be amazingly good for business!

    CEO’s only say this shit when they’ve already broken the law. I have no doubt in my mind this dude has committed war crimes.

      Meaning they should just be arrested and charged already, and not by some special agent, but by a rookie cop just barely out of high school and policy academy and it should be their first felony arrest. Make it as humiliating as possible for them.

    That’s not what he is saying. This Gizmodo article is trash but at least it gives you the actual quote so you can find out what he really said.

    Eh, not to be ‘that girl’ but the context of this article doesn’t seem to match the title. What he’s saying is that if the government WANTS to keep it’s activities constitutional, meaning they will succeed in any later litigation, they need detailed information before each and every strike so they can make wise decisions.

    His argument is that only HIS company can provide that detailed information…so the government needs to keep paying them.

    Ragebait?

    “Part of the reason why I like this questioning is the more constitutional you want to make it, the more precise you want to make it, the more you’re going to need my product,” Karp said. His reasoning is that if it’s constitutional, you would have to make 100% sure of the exact conditions it’s happening in, and in order to do that, the military would have to use Palantir’s technology, for which it pays roughly $10 billion under its current contract.

      Thanks for the additional context, but that’s a dumb argument. There is no constitutional ground for these strikes, with or without his bullshit product, because there is no war. They’re committing straight up murder which is (still) illegal.

      They believe they are a cut above the rest. Basically is they expect the enemy to act with extreme restraint while they exercise none whatsoever.

    It is hard to argue he isn’t correct.

    However… Wow. It’s so shocking to see how happy people are these days to flaunt how evil they are. It’s not like evil people didn’t exist before, but it’s almost like they are celebrated these days.
