  2. Regular readers will know that China has been going after billionaires hard. So much so, in fact, that the number of billionaires is dropping in China.

    Back after the financial collapse executives did very very well. They had been lying repeatedly, had engaged in wide-scale fraud and to the extent that there was any punishment it was fines on the companies involved.

    Not only were the fines […]

  3. This world is a fuck.

    I live at a geographical latitude in the heartland that should be a wet bulb pressure cooker, but the unusual weather patterns and lack of methane/CO2 emissions from oil drilling and datacenters give us a nice open thermal sink of space and cooler weather. For now.

    It was 20C this morning. Not far away where the oil drilling and datacenters are, 40C and higher. At night. Death for those without relief. Best bet is to have offgrid solar air conditioning at least as a backup for the grid. Or prepare to die.

    “Global heating is an outrage, not a tragedy”

    This is something that is being done to us. Knowingly. Which makes it a crime.

    A narrow class of people is profiting from our anguish. They know they’re setting our world on fire. They persist because they love neither the Earth nor its people. What they care about is money. Not just enough to get by on. Not even enough to become grotesquely rich with. They want the kind of money that bends others to their will. They seek power”

  5. #Billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos use futuristic narratives about Mars and orbital colonies to distract from and justify #CorporateGreed and environmental destruction on Earth.

    These "humanitarian" goals serve as a cover for profit-driven ventures—such as #Starlink and lunar mining—that increase state surveillance, militarize space, and pollute both the atmosphere and the night sky. This unregulated expansion of #capitalism into #space threatens to create a debris-filled orbit that could permanently trap humanity on a degraded planet. #KesslerSyndrome

  7. RE: mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/@chris/1

    Beside the weird anti French language stuff, this is the United States telling nations that online search (and everything else) is to be controlled by Trump.(And Musk I guess)

    Hey Europe, Carney is informing the Canadian Public. You and your citizens need to know that online world control is baked into the Trumpist coup.

    If your governments aren't telling you, they're cooperating.

    Unless you are wealthy, The #US is now largely what we used to call a "third world nation".

    #Kleptocracy
    #Fascism
    #oligarchy
    #EpsteinClass

    #theocracy and #Propaganda are tools of the #aristocracy to impoverish and disable #civilSociety

    And fuck #philanthropy btw.

    #Billionaires should be taxed at 90% and we could spend it on infrastructure, #renewable power generation, infrastructure, and hardening..

  9. I don't know which scares me more: #billionaires or those who worship billionaires.

    Yeah Baby.

    Can't wait for states to nexrt sue over Meta Pervert Glasses and Apple's Earbuds with Pervert Cameras.

    Apples got the mobney, tell your states prosecutors, APPLE has trillions in liquidity (and they've been avoiding taxes for a decade)

    Major League Baseball owners now get paid more to have a losing team. We investigated the playbook that allows teams like the Marlins and Pirates to rake in...

    If #billionaires are trying to “rid the world of democracy”, they mustn’t know about Newton’s Third Law of #geopolitics. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    #TaxedOrAxed shouldn’t be a difficult choice to make.

  13. "We can have billionaires or we can have democracy. We cannot have both,” Gil Durán says. In this episode of Movement Memos, Gil and I discuss the bizarre fixations and political fantasies of tech billionaires like Peter Thiel, and how those ideas are being translated into real-world governance. We also talk about Silicon Valley’s Christian cosplay, and how traditional Christian ideas are being used as wrapping paper for the pursuit of AI-first, corporate fiefdoms."
