    Sadly this is not pessimism but just realism. You are free to block me if that’s too uncomfortable or annoying

      No, commenting “it won’t happen” on every single fucking post is pessimism. Sometimes good things happen.

        But I don’t do that, I can’t be blamed for actions of others

          If it’s not you it’s someone else, and it’s still pessimism. And people still upvote it, because everything is bad, and all good news is actually bad news.

            If you want to stick your head in the sand and hum happy tunes to yourself, give’r. We’ll be up here living in reality where, in fact, most news is bad news for the poor in America. Sorry?

              You’re misrepresenting reality. This article is good news, period. A jury decided Meta was at fault, and this is good regardless of your negative framing or how much they end up having to pay.
