Sigh, if not for the election results...I'd be taking the death of the #DCU , something I've been waiting for, for 4 decades, much worse. No more #DC movies after #Superman 2. #Mergers destroy anything good. Until we strongly enforce #antitrust laws and break up all of these monopolies, we will never have anything good again # capitalism #monopoly -
Search Engine Roundtable: Google AI Mode Biased: It Only Shows Links To Google Flights. “Over the weekend, I tested out using Google AI Mode to get flight information and 100% of the time, the only links available within the AI Mode responses were to Google Flights.

Won’t the failure to ‘SCRAP THE PALANTIR NHS DEAL NOW’ (see link below) be proof that it will take a much greater commitment to democracy to defeat the creep show of the broligarchy?
While the broligarchy might give the appearance of being defeated as the market valuation of their investments continues to fall, the legal protections of their lobbying and influence does not. They have always played the hand of God, but it is a delusional belief, as they are as mortal as anyone else. No acceleration of transhumanist super intelligence will change that fact! Ending their reign of abuse, means the politicians are elected and therefore FREE to represent the interests of people they are supposed to be serving and protecting! #BroligarchsFreedom #derregulation #antitrust #monopolies #racketeering #ecocide #authoritarianism #purges #censorship #assassinations #terror #wars #torture #sextrafficking #corruption #contagion #starvation #disease #addiction #TheBroligarchy
