Hello, this is Thomas Talleyrand, and welcome to the PopulistCast

 Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Episode 10 in Episode 9, we discussed the salesforce.com entry into the censorships base. And I just want to circle back to that to steal from our worst press secretary in the history of the United States. But I'm actually going to circle back to it, I want to make sure that you understand what I'm trying to say. Veritas because salesforce.com for no reason that I can think of other than outright bigotry and discrimination is being canceled from salesforce.com, they could have hundreds of 1000s of dollars. Same thing with RNC who most certainly does have six figures tied up in salesforce.com, plus another six figures that they're being forced to spend, certainly in the $10,000 range, that they're being forced to bend to find another provider. So it's not just the game they provide, find another provider, they also have to pay for the implementation of the new software. So it's an interruption to their business services. And it'll be interesting to see, I don't know that it's legal to sue them, because I'm pretty sure that they have a right to terminate, but, but it's something you had to factor into when you are interviewing prospective vendors when you put out a request for proposal. And prospective vendors are trying to woo your business, you need to start having it written into these contracts, exactly what they're going to do, how they're going to treat language, what the difference, what the definition of words are. I mean, when you have to get down to they have to change the definition from inciting violence to potentially might kind of will incite violence, you need to get that all ironed out and in your contracts. Because most of these contracts are contracts of adhesion. think that if you can't get somebody that you trust, you're going to have to negotiate a better contract. Or possibly, you're going to have to go back to paper and pencil for contact relationship management, or outlook, which a lot of people and small businesses are going to are going to do now. salesforce.com pictures itself is an enterprise platform, it prices itself as an enterprise platform, but it spends a ton of resources and money on trying to woo small businesses. Small businesses are less than 500 employees. So they're not that small. And they make up most of the employer, employees, and employers and opportunity for growth. For companies like salesforce.com, it's just they're not as profitable as an enterprise sale. If you can go into landing a T Mobile account, let's say just use them, you know, you might end up with 10s of 1000s of seats just on one installation, versus trying to get at 10 seats at a time. So you can see where the the scale, you can see where the scale can m pack down their profitability. However, they're going to have to pay out the same kind of sales commission, it's just less effort once they get the product up and running. Now, that's usually negotiated out in price. So they're gonna pay a lot less per seat for a large company, Coca Cola, many fortune 500 company that might decide to use a CRM, they're going to pay less per seat once they negotiate it down. And that's going to be to their economies of scale also. Now, what are we going to discuss today, we're going to discuss the parlor versus Amazon lawsuit. And we'll see where we go from there. I want to keep this one short, get it out. It's the start of spring break. And ladies and gentlemen, thank you to Greg Abbott, for having the common sense

to go with what the data is showing us and the data is showing us that first of all, masks don't seem to be working as well as they had hoped. And also that people are going to wear masks in heavily populated areas because they just have a common sense. Hey, it might help. Like I discussed before, like I say at the end of my podcast if you're gonna wear a mask, And then 95 do not wear a cloth mask, okay? There's possibly some health problems with that. It might be better than nothing. But if you had to wear masks for a long period of time, you don't you want something that's pretty high grade, you don't want to be breathing in a lot of small particles of cloth or paper into your lungs, you don't know what that's gonna do is those degrade over time? There are some studies that show that it might, might cause cancer. So I don't think we need the government to tell us what to do. I think we're all grown people. That's why in March, I started wearing a mask. It kills me to go to the store. I have severe asthma. like I've discussed before. But thank you, Greg Abbott, for not making it a government mandate. I noticed that in my town, everybody still wears a mask in a grocery store. No one wants to get anybody sick peer pressure. And education would do much more than lying to us. And trying to Gaslight us. It's just that simple. People, you know, when you make it a government mandate, you're impinging on our civil rights. The government doesn't have these rights. And just because a quarter rolls of courts have so far ruled in their favor doesn't mean that's going to be the way that it ends up. And just because the court rules something doesn't mean that it's properly decided. We have no further to look back to the Jim Crow law days, the days of separate but equal and even before that. So here we are dealing with a masculist, Texas that still somewhat masking up our numbers will probably be exactly what they were to begin with. That gets me into the parlor lawsuit. Let me go find it so I can read it to you. Now, this is going to be in state court. They dismiss their federal complaint. They had to with that judge, she was obviously unqualified, biased. And you know, to me, she sounded like she is crazy. Her rulings were not very good. They weren't bounded in law. And black, Nick ricotta says they probably killed Amazon. Excuse me, they probably killed Palor. parlor. Seems dead to me too. Just like Nick says when you go on there. It seems like there's nobody there. There's no community anymore. However, I think that this lawsuit is much better written just like Nick ricotta says. And, you know, hopefully this will lead to large judgment against Amazon. And enough that Amazon will start to treat their contracts seriously. Nature, the action defendants amazon inc. And its subsidiary, Amazon Web Services are a commercial Goliath. It goes on to talk about what their net worth is. talks about how they help parlor had a rising app on all the markets, expect parlors going to sue some other companies as well. The big thing that they get into is that they were a huge concern for Twitter. And they were a huge concern for Facebook. They would also probably be a huge concern for Parler, excuse me for Google, as they start to get into having more resources. Where were they going to get more Reese's resources from? Well, pretty seriously.

Or, well, we learned that parlor was looking at going public that they had a business valuation of over a billion dollars. And as we know, with these type of blue sky companies that are social media companies, they tend to blow up in value, with just a slight aside that they might eventually be able to turn some kind of profit. Twitter is a case study in this. So a Snapchat, YouTube was not that popular until they were taken over by Google. So you know, that's what everybody bets on. They bet on one of the big vendors purchasing Google or Microsoft are somebody coming in and purchasing the next software so that they can cash out. It's how the market works. It's why these things are probably with what's called Blue Sky, blue sky is the value of a company of its goodwill, good name and cash. Cash flow that is not necessarily part of its net asset value. Its net asset value being the actual value of its contracts, its liabilities, its liabilities, its assets, its customer base, and its cash flow. So parlour was going to be able to go public, and if they were to go public, their valuation was brought to me about a billion dollars. That was prior to the millions of new users that they got and getting up to number one, and and both of the app stores parlor was prevented from getting online. And there's a lot of things we'll skip the introduction and the venue arguments. Get into the facts. parlours platform is not like Amazon's Twitter's, or Facebook's Twitter and Facebook, gather data on our users and sell it. And these tech giants also employ targeted advertising by leveraging user data, something they can charge advertise users more for see Stigler center for the past girlies inside the excitement's. I'm going to put a link to this in there. This goes on to talk about how there's a difference and the advertising scheme. And that parlor is also different in the way that it serves up its content, which is one of the reasons I don't think they're ever going to recover from this. However, had they been left in place, they would have been fine. But because of their business model, they can't take getting kicked off of all the platforms, they can't take being dark for one minute, much less for a month. more discussion about the direct messaging different between impressions and views. parlors internal data show that users are on parlor about 22 to 28 minutes a day. On average, and that is multiple sessions. Thus when there are hundreds of comments on a parlay few people spend the time to read through all the comments. This is talking about the about the way that they distribute their data again. Now, one thing that they get into that Southland very interesting is that the day before. On January 8 2020, AWS announced it was terminating parlor services. One of the top trends on Twitter was hang Mike pets with over 1000 I'm sorry 14,000 tweets.
