@8dd552bf we are pretty much in the age of “show us the video & the analysis insuring it wasn’t modified by AI tech jerks”, few people’s word can be trusted
@cf36fc76 what a jackass move.
Will he start actually enforcing penalties on employers?
Noooooooo
Cuz we really want an underclass of migrants, and if we clamped down on employers while increasing legal immigration and fighting for a guest worker program then the big stupid wall pr stunt wouldn’t be happening
@faf36539 that’s a brilliant push to #taxtherich finally great letter. I wonder 🤔 how many multi millionaires inflate property values on loans then low ball the same properties for taxation?
Sounds like something to get on to start helping with all the budget shortfalls huh?
@35910b88 how come I get this weird feeling SBF was a patsy and the money flowed through him to others who yanked his strings and were shaking their heads knowing how this clown show would end
@eaaa461f in the U.S. it’s the ultra rich who own the media and have armies of lobbyists donate piles of cash to tell politicians how to vote that should be the concern.
It’s not #bigbrother its #bigtechbro Orwell got it almost right
@07ff9500 unfortunately party 1) has randos like u and me here on the fediverse talking about what actually happened
Party 2) has the owner of XTwitter the Google algorithm the meta boost algorithm, Fox News, right wing radio etc all shouting their talking points.

Perception is reality in politics
@fc15df0c yup, and flags, saw some new trump flags appear just down the street actually. The right wing radio up here is still 💯 pro trump and it blankets the land
@15e2bc2d there should be a law passed that if a company is an owned subsidiary the end parent company has to appear on the box or literature so consumers can see exactly how monopolized the marketplace really is
#news organizations and #journalists are like little street urchins with their soup bowls begging #elon mcscrooge “please sir can I have some gruel”
While he laughs and spits on them
@00c135f1 wait 🤔 is that like the one that’s going to start charging individual home users a subscription?
I think a lot of people will be discovering retro is in, and Linux works just fine 😂
@8a25122b maybe if the damn #AcademicJournals didn’t go on a continuing fee hike and #google didn’t decide to suddenly charge for Google drive space after hooking #academics on using it #colleges wouldn’t be struggling so badly
@c38cc148 awesome this #neoliberal hands off business super duper #freetrade with all authoritarian regimes has worked out so brilliantly why wouldn’t we want the #SaudiArabia government owning farmland and using excessive water in southwestern U.S. thereby having a massive leverage on state governments 🤷♂️
@7abddef1 it would be nice if the pro #union political party the #dems would work just a little bit on some pro union #legislation because the U.S. is way behind other western democracies
@872ab8e1 #Fbillionaires it’s not the cost of production, no it’s not #workers pay, no it’s not #supplychain no it’s not #taxes it’s damn greed it’s #profitsoverpeople #taxtherich
@5a959140 ummm 🤔 well, how much money 💰 is #Elon getting? Which he then funnels into pretty much exactly that sooo I guess we are already there huh 🤷♂️
@8067bfbf of course #inflation is caused primarily by the corporate principle of #profitsoverpeople that’s why #voters have to reverse the #taxcutsfortherich madness that has been going on for decades and tax the hell out of the wealthy. The more they raise prices the more we the voters raise the damn taxes on the rich to pay for things average people need
@75e0546a now we need to get politicians to start stumping for increasing the penalties for breaking labor laws to something more than a light pat on the wrist
@fb710bd1 Sometimes what one person sees as an extraordinary claim, may not be so. It may simply be a problem with the definition of the terms being used. Communication between people who have different perspectives often falls foul of miscommunication. Such as we just did.
@4e004c84 unfettered “free trade” with authoritarian regimes doesn’t promote #freedom not #democracy nor #peace it just increases the wealth of sociopathic #billionaires who have no loyalty to western nations they have citizenship in.
@4c681c0c #uk tracking #covid again, could go poorly if #hospitals in the u.s. get hit hard this winter and the #biden administration is seen as slow to act
@7be10e09 #sanction on #iran much harsher than on #russia for invading #ukraine murdering thousands stealing children, causing environmental disaster threading nuclear war and world hunger 🤷♂️
@826f7fe1 the erosion of oversight, the repeal of regulation, the erection of opaque business & legal structures to hide financial dealings, all put in place by the wealthy in the west has been a boon for #russia and other authoritarian governments seeking to undermine democracies
@826f7fe1 western #corporations the backbone of authoritarian war machines NOT the mechanism of transformation to #liberal #democracy their pr b.s. told us they would be.
@53de482a when outthinking doesn’t work, I usually go in for hitting a heavy bag, getting a massage, inviting friends over cooking large amounts of food etc….overwhelming my brain weasels so they can’t gnaw me to death
Ymmv
@c7a5053d 🤔 it’s almost like the people who give all the money (aka pay more than their salaries) to politicians and also own the big media corporations have the same agenda.
.
Yup really weird.
.
Follow the money
@f8d9bc1c over ten years ago the #GOP announced their #projectredmap a strategy to target state legislative races with a flood of out of state money and support. They shouted it from the rooftops, Karl rove literally outlined it in the national press.
The Dem response?
A 🤷♂️ and nothing
So here we are.
You will always lose battles you don’t fight.
@d4cc8164 want #biden & the #dems to beat #trump & the #gop please for the love of whatever god you choose don’t talk about the #economy.
DO talk about #dobbs #rightwing loony state laws criminalizing #womenshealth and #abortion
