That was always one of the main goals. They’d rather light a mountain of cash on fire than give anyone a thriving wage

It’s a hard one to gauge for me. I’m pretty sure I found it via stumbleupon back when that was really great. I read the whole thing in close to one go, and I never hear anyone else talk about it.
