Seriously a few bad apples? Way to ignore what's going on in favor of your personal belief system. That's so gross I don't even know where to begin. Their entire process is to destroy people's lives and they've done that successfully. Calls to violence are not protected by freedom of speech. Terrorizing people so they have to flee the country isn't inflammatory. It's insane, dangerous, illegal, immoral, and should not be protected in any way form or fashion. But you know all this. And you know that this is what they do. And this is your way of saying that people should be able to do that to other people. So, who and what is your belief system? As if we don't already know.

Our company started doing this last year. We're a high tech company and hire lots of software and firmware engineers. The jobs show the ranges, but also the description helps you figure out where in that range you're likely to fall based on your skills, education/training and experience. You'll be able to figure ahead of time within 10K or so of what your offer will be. Saves a LOT of time and confusion on the part of the people applying. 10K might sound like a big differential, but when you're talking salaries in the 80-160K range it's pretty good.

That advertising would become a half a trillion dollar a year juggernaut around the world. Not goods, not food, not services... advertising. And we did it to ourselves as a species. We made advertising successful and now this is what we have wrought. An existence where everywhere you look you're being sold something. Fuck. Now I've depressed myself.

Wow. Your knowledge of US history seems a bit weak. The democratic process has never worked for the oppressed. Ever. The only reason why women and minorities can even vote in our country is because of civil disobedience. You have to know that. Right? The only reason you have any days off from your job is because of civil disobedience. The reason that gay people aren't thrown in jail for being gay is because of civil disobedience. This country EXISTS because of civil disobedience. Civil disobedience has been an extremely important part of our country since before it was even a country.

"Crypto, like the dollar is only as valuable as the willingness of participants to exchange their goods and services for it"

And there's your problem. The world doesn't take crypto currency seriously and it's nearly impossible to use it for what it is intended for. Which is a currency. So, it literally serves as no purpose other than playing it like the futures market. What is a currency that can't be used as a currency? Answer: not a lot.
