It honestly just never occurred to me that such a transformation was allowed/possible. A nonprofit seems to imply something charitable, though obviously that's not the true meaning of it. Still, it would almost seem like the company benefits from the goodwill that comes with being a nonprofit but then gets to transform that goodwill into real gains when they drop the act and cease being a nonprofit.
I don't really understand most of this shit though, so I'm probably missing some key component that makes it make a lot more sense.
I've heard the claim numerous times that people leave a tremendous carbon footprint. Each person would be assigned a certain amount of "carbon credits" that their life is worth, and the value slowly declines as they get older. If they choose to, one can hop in the expiration bin and donate those remaining credits to a cause of their choice: they can give them to their children, family, or friends, donate them to a charity or research group, etc.
I can just imagine the ads where companies try to compel you to take the early-expiration route while relinquishing your credits to them "for the greater good" or some other such nonsense
Children mass-produced for the glorious stream of carbon credits it would award
Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla et al provide "expiration tanks" in convenient places that send the credits directly to them after each "donation"
Well how else are you gonna expose the plight of the modern American without fabricating stories and backing them up with AI-generated video?!
What bothers me is how predictable all this was when AI really started catching on. We all saw this coming from a mile away and lo and behold here it is doing exactly what we thought it would.
Well, yeah! It was settled in court that they're strictly an entertainment company. It's the most-watched cable entertainment station that just likes to riff on the news ¯(ツ)/¯
Omg imagine if she did that quick pull trump was doing for a while there? That douche-ey "power move" where he'd begin with a regular handshake then suddenly yank the other person toward him?!? I will always remember that showdown with Trudeau where Trudeau actually prepped with a stance and everything when it came time to shake trump's hand... And he did not get pulled when donnie tried his cute little stunt, lol
You're forgetting the handful of people that will profit wildly from this, so technically not everyone...just most (99.9% +/-)
