Rich people silence their opposition by threatening to do what they're going to do anyway even if they get what they want. Bootlickers believe them.

Even if employees were paid $4 per hour, corporations would still be looking for ways to automate their labor and save $4 per hour per employee.

This is how any corporation functions. First, increasing profits is done by attracting more customers. Then, once they have all the customers they're going to get, increasing profits is done by increasing prices or cutting costs.

Apparently you can add some dog coat color mutations and a gnarly overbite to a grey wolf embryo via CRISPR, plop it in a surrogate hound bitch, and call it a direwolf lol

For real though, the entire “dire wolf brought back from extinction” thing is so wildly misleading as to what they actually did that it’s crazy it picked up as much traction as it has. They have a VERY good media team on board.

These animals are grey wolves with a handful of modifications to their grey wolf genome to give them physical traits that the creators felt resembled dire wolves, based on their research into the partial genome they have available for the species. They did not insert dire wolf genes into these embryos; they merely edited the genes related to size, bone, skull size, and coat color. The coat color they introduced is a dog mutation (recessive red, commonly called “born white” in wolfdogs, is the result of e/e genotype on the E locus).

They’re basically fancy generically engineered wolfdogs — not dire wolves.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: - You kick it -- gung ho style, *entering the premises* style -- but the door fails to respect the force. All you hear is the bar rattling inside, laughing at you.

YOU: - “Ow.”

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: - The door is oblivious to your distress.

Volition: No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.
