Good! These organizations prey on older people and those with hoarding issues.

As a son of a hoarder I blame (in part) companies like this for my mother's estate totaling $400 upon her death.

My mother bought CRAP off these vultures instead of saving, instead of stocking her pantry with real food, instead of going outside.

Ai Companies seem fine with obsoleting jobs, but we will see what happens when Ai starts replacing CEO positions.

Just a reminder amidst all this noise and chaos…Meta, Google, Snap, and TikTok all purposefully designed their social media products to addict children and teens with no regard for known harms to their wellbeing, and how that mass youth addiction was core to the companies’ business models.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, The Tech Oversight Project published a new report spotlighting newly unsealed documents in the 2026 social media addiction trials. The documents provide smoking-gun evidence that Meta, Google, Snap, and TikTok all purposefully designed their social media products to addict children and teens with no regard for known harms to their wellbeing, and how that mass youth addiction was core to the companies’ business models. #SocialMedia #RegulateSocialMedia #Capitalism #PredatoryCapitalism

"It's companies vs people"

Exactly! I wish, more people would realize that

As #Invidious and piped.video are not to be used by third parties (for good and understandable reasons) and for those who can't or don't want to self-host, is there still a #privacy-preserving non-#CORS #YouTube proxy REST API out there somewhere?

American Airlines Cuts JFK Moving Walkway — Because You Spend More When You Struggle - this is exactly what I mean when I point out that over the years business has become more and more predatory. All business. From subscriptions, limited ownership rights, right-to-repair, you name it. Corporations are after our $$, our data, and our lives. We exist only to feed the machine and provide labor to stoke corporate wealth. #PredatoryCapitalism #PredatoryBusiness #ConsumerProtection #ConsumerRights https://viewfromthewing.com/american-airlines-cuts-jfk-moving-walkway-because-you-spend-more-when-you-struggle/

You don't become a billionaire through hard work. That's impossible

The role of commercial policy in politics is to keep private companies under control not to do them favors. That's to ensure, that #capitalism is not unleashed. That's the duty of the state towards its citizens. Because capitalism, at its core, is an Ouroboros that would devour itself if given the chance.

Money is finite. The world is a closed system. In order do make huge amounts of money, you have to take it from somewhere. You do not generate this money out of nowhere.

Let's say, there's a rich person who owns a company. Said person has the role "capitalist" and the goal "make profits". So, making profits here is neither good nor evil in itself (I don't like it and I dislike the person for being profit-driven, but that's not the point here), it is just what a person in that role does.

Okay, maybe, we haven't been clear enough on this:
