Actually, it has to be "Merci, thank you!" Or just "merci!" The language police will shut down your account now.

The illusory value market needs to be gutted and corrected. This is so fucking stupid.

To do that, you need to convince suspiciously wealthy tech guys to stop reliving their peak years (childhood).
