#corporatetakeover — Public Fediverse posts

Here’s the thing:

Trump & Co. is just a private equity firm forcing a hostile takeover. They are using the strong US Brand to leverage its assets and reduce governmental quality in order to increase their profits while inevitably cheapening the brand.

They just didn’t think people, and importantly We the People, would toss the brand so quickly.

OK, I have a lot of beefs with organizations I also really like (or sometimes love). On FB there is a group called "The Professor Is Out" (#tpio?). They are a support page for people leaving academia, which is something I want to do, for many of the same reasons as everyone else.

However, TPIO mods can be a bit... well.

Any post suggesting we think carefully about how and where we jump from academic gets something between a smackdown ("you're not supporting people in toxic situations") to just being deleted.

I found this out when I saw a string of posts suggesting that humanities profs (who have fewer non-academic options than some other fields) jump to join #educorporate instructional technology companies or do #ux for FAANG corps and their associates. I made what I thought was a very careful post saying you gotta do what you gotta do to pay the bills, but the exodus from academia into some of the more problematic areas of industry transfers intellectual capital from public institutions to those actively (in many cases) trying to destroy them.

Like I said, it was carefully worded and not inflammatory like what I said above. It was couched. Couched, I say!

Got a serious chewing-out by the mods for failing to support vulnerable people, victim-blaming, and maybe some other stuff.

Come on, mods, I get it. But two things can both be true. If the only way I could pay rent/mortgage and my daughter's life expenses was doing UX for #facebook or A/B testing for #google, I'd do it in a second. At the same time I very much hope those aren't my only options to exit academia.

And then I found that one or more of the TPIO mods have launched a for-profit job coaching service for the academics the page serves.

I don't claim there are shenanigans going on, but I do have a belief that incentives matter, and misaligned #incentives can lead to misaligned outcomes.

I have not made a helpful post about how humanities faculty in toxic work situations might find more lucrative careers in job coaching for academic faculty who are in toxic work situations.

🇬🇧Brussels has a #corporatetakeover problem. That's why I support the whistleblower portal LobbyLeaks.eu .
Many complaints are coming in about trickery in the EU lobby register. With other MEPs, I am calling for a tougher approach:

The The - Infected: The Movie

This album was one of the most surreal of my teenage years; similar feelings from Pink Floyd's movie for "The Wall," which feels like a #SpiritualPrecursor, but this is more #POP & thus more accessible while also touching on some of the same themes of #dystopian #consumerism #war #greed #lust #ManufacturedDesire and #CorporateTakeOver

This is a synth pop record that hates itself and its glorious, every song is worth listening to.

Imagine if instead of selling off land to corporate developers to build luxury restaurants & expensive student flats, we demanded non-profit housing cooperatives that kept the money local and provided affordable, freehold starter homes 🤷🏻‍♂️

The #CorporateCoup is complete - #neoFeudalism is here. The banks will probably buy the #policeForce for themselves now.
