Sources in a discussion section for ECON1300 Transnational Digital Labor Markets report that CS-Econ TA Eller Van Smythe III lead an icebreaker of nam- ing everyone’s favorite insidious global conglomerates.
“Mine has definitely got to be Meta,” Van Smythe said to his discussion section of future white-collar criminals. “It’s kind of inspiring that they’ve been able to steal all that data and make a huge profit from it.”
Van Smythe encouraged timid freshman Nathan Skerritt to join in. “Um, I guess mine is maybe Amazon?” said Skerritt, worried that Amazon wasn’t insidious enough for his passionate classmates. “I know they deliver packages, but I really admire how they’ve outcompeted every small business through worker exploita- tion.”
Van Smythe reassured Skerritt that his choice was perfectly insidious enough. “Think about the global hegemony of Amazon,” Van Smythe said, giddy at the thought of global domination. “No one else is monopolizing cloud storage, retail sales, and way more sectors than we’re even conscious of.”
At press time, Van Smythe was leading his group in a discussion of their favorite ways to package and resell worthless NFTs to unsuspecting customers.
