My choice for this week's #MusicWomenWednesday is a short video clip from the 1960s American TV show "Hullaballoo". Jackie DeShannon does a very nice version of the Fortunes hit song, which she unfortunately never recorded.

You can see members of the Byrds in the background.

“At the height of the #GildedAge, around 1910, the 4 largest #American #fortunes owned wealth equivalent to 4% of US GDP. Today, that same tiny fraction of the population, the top 0.00001% … could buy 14% of everything produced in a given year in #America.” open.substack.com/pub/gzucman/...

Les milliardaires n’ont jamais été aussi riches et aussi nombreux, selon le classement mondial de "Forbes", qui recense 3 428 milliardaires dans le monde, soit 400 de plus en un an! "Le boom du marché boursier dopé par l’IA a fait bondir des fortunes vers des niveaux jusque-là inimaginables", explique le magazine. Premier de la liste, Musk, tandis que Bernard Arnault doit se contenter d'une petite septième place...

🔴🇫🇷FLASH -La France, paradis des plus riches ? Environ 50.000 foyers parmi les plus #fortunés du pays échappent à l’#impôt sur le revenu ou sur les plus-values et dividendes, révèle l’ancien ministre de l’économie Eric Lombard, qui avait initialement lancé l’alerte en janvier...

“By 1882, though, #factories and the #fortunes they created had swung the #government toward men of #capital, and #workingmen worried they would lose their rights if they didn’t work together.” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-31-...

#HunSen fears collapse of ‘criminal’ regime
"Previous #investigations — by #Reuters in 2019 & #GlobalWitness in 2016 — hv documented how te #Hunfamily & its associates hv amassed vast personal #fortunes to te detriment of te #country #Cambodia.. With traditional sources of revenue such as te exploitation of #naturalresources & granting of land #concessions depleted by years of #systemic #corruption, te #regime has grown increasingly reliant on these #criminal enterprises"

Die #Energiewende in einem Bonmot aus der #fortunes Datenbank:

"Die Steinzeit hat nicht geendet weil die Steine alle waren, sondern weil es bessere Alternativen gab."

#Philanthropie : le #capital se fout de la #charité - #DATAGUEULE 93

"Ah les belles #fortunes de ce monde et leur immense #générosité ! L’éducation, l’art, la faim dans le monde : rien n’est trop beau, rien n’est trop grand. À condition d’y gagner en visibilité… Et de pouvoir faire une belle opération #fiscale au passage. Et si parfois, ces opérations sentent bon le conflit d’intérêt, il ne faudrait tout de même pas cracher dans la soupe. La générosité ça ne se discute pas. Mais au fait, elle vient d’où cette #richesse ?"

All this #wasted #energy #LLMs and #AI are using costs money. Do the promoters really think they will make it back in #profits or just planning to skim enough off the top of funds invested by their #investors to make their #fortunes.

Bernard Arnault chute à la troisième place du podium à cause de la dissolution décidée par Macron. Le patron de LVMH n’est plus « que » la troisième fortune mondiale derrière Jeff Bezos et Elon Musk, selon Bloomberg. Le président devrait se méfier. Le capital n’aime pas l’instabilité… https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/

Many shrines & temples across Kyōto and Japan are now using familiars (of the gods & Bodhisattvas enshrined within) to promote and sell their omikuji.

These small clay, wooden or plastic figures, holding the omikuji (aka 'otsuge' お告げ 'divine message'), can be taken home once the fortune is read.

"Société-écran à Dubaï, filiale à Singapour… Malgré son départ annoncé du pays, le géant français du sport a mis en place un système opaque pour continuer à vendre, en toute discrétion, ses produits en #Russie. Révélations sur un contrat secret qui a déjà permis à Decathlon d’empocher au moins 12 millions de dollars, selon des documents internes obtenus par #Disclose."

Ban #billionaires today.

Make them #illegal.

Seize their #fortunes and #rebuild our #societies.

Raise everyone up.

#Fortunes result from various factors unrelated to talent.

Furthermore, fortunes distort the allocation of talent in society, as exceptionall young individuals that could be contributing to climate change or healthcare instead serve the wealthy elite.

A mass movement for wealth distribution is needed to address this #inequality. Good examples are #ProgressiveTaxation policies and taxing corporate income based on shareholder returns.

I used to love watching the #American version of the #AntiquesRoadshow.

I’m traveling and came across the #British version on one of these tv channels, and they just keep reminding me about #colonialism and #colonization.

So many #people #celebrating #looted items from their #families’ questionable #histories.

The hosts frequently ask what their guests plan to do with their “good #fortunes”, and I just don’t hear anyone saying #GiveItBack

#stolen #history #looting #entitlement #racism

I can read your mind, and you should be ashamed of yourself !
