Read the first thing that popped up on DuckDuckGo for me about it To prove I’m not literally just making the concept up. https://bhsblueprint.org/showcase/2024/02/29/tis-calculator-empire-the-unstoppable-ti-84/

But again the point is still as always that I’m pitching a shift in perspective against always giving the benefit of the doubt to massive corporations literally in every aspect of any argument. What if-hear me out- what if, it actually doesn’t matter how Texas Instruments got their monopoly. That whether or not it was done “illegally” or as a natural result of shrewd business practices is ., in fact, deliberately obfuscating the fact that it is a monopoly, that it did come into existence by leveraging its standing as a weapons manufacturer and government partner to dominate a smaller market.
Like that would be the important part or something.

Yeah whatever. I loved Lemmy at first and I’m hoping it’s just the election season but gd this is terminally online. And that’s coming from me

    Thanks for actually reading the article. Pretty upsetting a mod of this community just posts shit without any factual basis. Especially a person who is “researching American crimes against humanity.” Like, c’mon. If you’re gonna do “research,” you gotta read the article. There are plenty examples of American crimes against humanity that can be backed up by factual evidence. Posting BS just degrades any legitimacy your viewpoints have. Gotta be better.
