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.

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

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.

Generative AI is theft

I’m receiving emails from meta that they’re going to use everything I’ve ever posted and shared on Facebook and Instagram to train their generative AI.

They will steal and exploit everything we’ve ever shared on Facebook and Instagram.

Generative AI doesn’t create anything. It simply computed the average from a massive set of inputs, after some very clever filtering.

Generative AI is basically automated plagiarism.

It is theft — theft of intellectual property on an industrial scale.

“Time and again, Garamendi’s “fire sale approach” would have the same result: enriching Apollo at the expense of Executive Life’s policyholders. ”

This One Company Controls America’s Entire Health Care System - YouTube

"Why are so many doctors being forced to take out payday loans to make ends meet? Trying to answer this question led us to a giant monopoly that's been slowly plundering every part of our health care system."

What a horrifically corrupt system!
