www.nytimes.com‘Teachers Are Going to Hate It’: How Social Media Apps Hooked Teens at School (Gift Article)Internal documents show how tech giants grabbed children’s attention throughout the day, a strategy that schools say has undermined education.
You know what sucks most about this? We could literally fix many of society’s issues by focussing on education. Hunger, crime, inequality, poverty, climate, population, everything. But that fucks the goals of billionaires, so we won’t.

Having more educated people in society means less people willing to work their life off for little less than a dime.
This leaves less room for profit and increases production costs for just about everything.
