Does the government view it as 2 throats to choke and so the risk is 'worth it' or is it just a condition of gilded age II and corp and political greed and corruption?

Why did we make all those monopoly laws only to completely forget they exist or why we ever made them?


It's mostly just the way things turned out without government intervention.

American Express' card started in 1958, as a pivot of their then already 100-year-old business: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Express#1920s%E2%80%9...

Visa also in 1958 as a Bank of America (and friends) card, which quietly expanded into the mid-60s: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_Inc.#History

Mastercard in the mid-60s from banks who BoA wouldn't invite into the Visa clubhouse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastercard#History

And Discover in the mid-80s because Sears was big enough to be its own financial services firm: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discover_Card#History


Oh hell yeah -- I had this idea but glad someone built it! Will definitely check it out


This is rad -- I loved workout lol and was sad all the videos stopped working. Thank you!


I felt the same way when workout.lol went quiet! really pushed to rebuild something that would last without video licensing issues this time.

So welcome back glad to have you with us again :) !


Will have to test this out and it looks like it runs on consumer hardware which is cool. I tried making a movie[1] with LTXV several months ago and had a good time but 30x faster generations sounds necessary.
