      While I agree, it’s a very strange (not relevant) analogy.

      Blockbuster folded due to Netflix slowly degrading it then killing altogether with streaming technology. What in your analogy is replacing Palantir? They’re still at the top of their game, and has only gotten more powerful integrating AI/Flock and other technology, plus getting the full support of the authoritarian regime in the US.

        You are reading way too much into this off-the-cuff, flippant comment. I simply meant I wish the company no longer existed. Apples, oranges, who cares?

    Palantir is a company. Companies are exempt from most of the taxation, because company is different entity than physical person.
