You want to level the business playing field with Elon Musk and other multi-billionaires? End all corporate welfare. That means saying no to tax credits, contracts, and other government subsidies.

The illusion of choice: I try to avoid Amazon for purchases when I can, so for online shoe purchases for stuff I can't find in my local brick&mortar places, I've been using Zappos. Only to find out today, that Zappos was bought up by Amazon all the way back in 2009. Oh well. I still like these kicks I got on sale, but it'd be nice to be able to be find an online store where part of my purchase didn't go to a mega-oligopoly run by an evil arsehole.

Yeah, too bad we have an IDIOT as president!
#Trump Says a Smart President Is All That’s Needed to Rein In #AI
The president again rejected calls to try to regulate the industry, even as some of its leaders are speaking more openly about the risks of rapidly developing artificial intelligence.
By Jonathan Swan
Sept. 14, 2026"President Trump on Monday rejected calls from leading artificial intelligence executives for new limits on the technology, writing on social media that the only guardrail the industry needed it already had: 'a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT.' "

White collar crime is FAR worse than blue collar crime, and yet it isn’t regulated, investigated, or even treated as crime.

“Rules for thee, but not for me.” North Carolina company fined half a mil for dumping forever chemicals into the Cape Fear River goes “oops, we’re broke, can’t pay” and gets away with it. No jail time, no repercussions.
Do you need any more proof we live in an #oligarchy where rich corporations pollute as they please? Imagine if you had a court fine and said you weren’t able to pay…you’d be locked up so fast it would make your head spin. #corporatocracy

The DOJ sued to block HPE's $14B merger, saying it would hand two companies "well over 70%" of US enterprise WiFi. HPE paid two lobbyists tied to Trump and Vance $1M each rather than fight the case. The chief who opposed settling got overruled, then pushed out. States found HPE's CEO and top lawyer had undisclosed CIA and Pentagon contact while pushing the deal. A judge ruled that broke federal law — then approved it anyway. Full timeline: https://v64otd.com/dispatch/hpe-juniper-corporatocracy/ #Corporatocracy

🥚⚖️ DOJ settled price-fixing claims against egg producers Cal-Maine, Versova, and Hickman's for $3.3 million.

We are governed by McKinsey and the oil industry.
(Hoekstra is "former" McKinsey and was part of a Dutch government with several "former" Shell Ministers. For the Dutch: BBB isn't the first industry shill in politics here.)

🚗 Auto loan 90-day delinquencies just hit the highest level ever recorded by the Federal Reserve. $777/month average new car payment. 22.9% of new car loans now run 7 years or longer.
This isn't a debt crisis. It's what happens when wages get hollowed out, automakers abandon the middle market, and banks profit off stretching you to your limit.

🗳️ Trump fired the last three Election Assistance Commission members last night. The only federal agency for election security is now vacant. Four months before midterms.
Three theories on what he's actually doing: install compliant replacements, create strategic chaos, or force the SAVE Act. All three may be true.
None require a mad man. All require someone who knows the guardrails are thin.

🧪 On February 26, 2026, Kennedy said "by the end of this year, all nine petroleum-based synthetic food dyes will be gone."
The FDA's own tracking page now says 2027. No formal rulemaking filed for Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, or any of the six most-used dyes. Many of the same companies making voluntary pledges funded the lobby coalition trying to kill state enforcement.

💊 38 million Americans have diabetes. Fewer than 8,000 endocrinologists exist to treat them. Pharma funds half of what doctors learn about managing it. And most patients go years without anyone asking what's actually causing their high blood sugar.
This is my story of finally forcing that question — and what it found.

🎯 Trump personally called FIFA to reverse a red card. The Court just let parties spend unlimited money directly on candidates — in a case brought by JD Vance himself. Same week Vance praised Nixon.
The man who said Watergate was no big deal helped dismantle the campaign finance laws Congress passed because of Watergate.

🏛️ Three stories from this weekend that tell you everything about where we are.
Congress is paralyzed over a voter fraud problem audits prove barely exists — while the bill to fix it would eliminate online registration for every American. The National Guard just killed a 20-year-old on July 4th weekend in Memphis. And the VP said Watergate should have been a 12-hour story.
This is not normal.

Cops Warn CEO Bodyguards That #LuigiMangione Fever Could Spark #ClassWar
Cops warned corporate bodyguards that “challenges faced by the middle and lower classes” might spur attacks on wealthy #CEOS.
By Glen Stellmacher, Noah Hurowitz
June 25 2026, 1:38 p.m. ET"A law enforcement intelligence hub in New Jersey fretted that the growing class divide in the U.S. could drive a wave of lone-wolf attacks on high-flying corporate executives, according to a report obtained by The Intercept.
"The New Jersey Regional Operations and Intelligence Center, one of the so-called #FusionCenters that serve as intelligence clearinghouses for cops, warned in a bulletin earlier this year that disaffected Americans were increasingly blaming society’s ills on #RichPeople and #CorporateBigwigs.
"The report specifically cited the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024 — allegedly by Luigi Mangione — as an expression of #AntiFatCat rhetoric. To the analysts at the New Jersey fusion center, Thompson’s killing hinted at a larger trend.
" 'Public discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy #corporateexecutives,' the fusion center memo says.
"By warning corporate security outfits of the danger posed by average Americans who blame their problems on the actions of corporate executives, the report effectively dedicates public resources to securing a private system that has made the few extremely wealthy at the expense of the many."

"We clearly need law reform here to protect transparency. This must include explicit penalties in the OIA, stronger (and matching) penalties in the Public Records Act, and a tweak to the Electoral Act declaring violation of either to be a corrupt practice - meaning anyone convicted will be automatically removed from parliament."
