Ariana is a (fucking evil/ingenue) genius.
Thanks for those anti-the-internet-is-awesome-rants five/seven years back; I only write free for my blog or for a purely voluntary site.
Well those three thousand odd bloggers need to sue Ariana for some of that money. Or at least threaten to sue if they don’t get a cut.
B-b-b-but, wait, Arianna is goog, right? N-n-n-no way would HuffPost behave like an evil corporation, would they? Would they?
Funny how a “librul” becomes the ultimate capitalist. Few capitalists today actually manage to get rich while paying their workers nothing. Usually variable capital is part of the necessary investment to become a capitalist.
Arianna was a republican before she was a “lbrrl”
She never renounced the Right.
Greed knows no label!
