Kind of an oxymoronic statement don't you think?

If it was aimed at one person, yes.

Swindle a million from one person, it's not a grift.
Swindle a dollar each from a billion, it's a MASSIVE grift.

Religion seems to do both: Get BIG money from smaller amounts of individuals, but also get small money from BIG amounts of individuals.

Massive - Exceptionally large. Grift - Small-Scale-Swindling.

How can it be both exceptionally large and small-scale?

Perhaps an abundant grift.

Imteresting stuff.
Certainly no attempt or desire to divide and subdivide. Certainly no one crying they are victimes because ***** people exists, and they hate them.

Yay capitalism.

Pretty wild since the "goods" supplied are infinite, available for free at any time, and completely intangible.
Yet people fork over their hard-earned money for the "goods" anyway.

Sometimes someone who buys the "goods" will then start their own business and resell to others at a crazy profit margin.

Someone else here asked me to show a business with a 600% markup on the goods sold, as if no such product existed (he probably never heard of soda dispensers, coffee makers, bottled waters, eyeglass frames, pet toys, etc).

Selling "god" has an insane markup on the cost of goods sold. Damn near infinite.

So you're the decider now on how people spend their money and what's appropriate to spend money on?

No you assume...and want pound the point home how partisan you are...

It's alot like we have to specify that not only does the connection exist, it's connected and being used, etc, etc, etc. Things that you and I accept as givens aren't necessarily so in the minds of others. It really makes tge communication process alot more complicated and drawn out; especially when you have gone on for pages over a simple word, phrase or concept.

Seems like the Universities, MKUltra, MSM, collective narcissism, social media echo chambers, etc, etc, etc have scrambled Team Blue's collective minds to the point that's it's impossible to even converse with them.

Owned the libs, but no longer owns a business.
Awesome trade.

This is the result of half of an economic plan. Or perhaps it is intended.

I agree...it's very difficult to communicate with idiots

In Altman’s world, the AI that broke authentication is the same AI that now demands your iris.

Such an overreach it's a damn like radio station app holy hell insane:

Like hitting US mfgrs with a 50% tariff on their raw materials, or letting them import completed product with only a 15% tariff?
