If you need a spy agency to meet your revenue targets, maybe, just maybe, question your insatiable greed coupled with an utter lack of morals.

I hope that people eventually figure out that most large companies have stopped asking permission. They know that their predatory business model is well defended.

@HeavenlyPossum This is called Predatory Capitalism. An economic system only works until people start to cheat. And with wealth inequality increasing, that gets easier for the "ruling class" to do.
And we know they are because they are clearly dismantling all the regulatory and enforcement tools.

Interesting observation - after growing exceedingly tired of Acrobat trying to interject AI in every menu and screen, I went into the preferences and turned it all off.
Suddenly, the finnicky Reading Order tool quit acting so strange, and the erratic tag panel behavior seems to have stopped as well.
Is Acrobat tanking the user experience in an effort to force its AI on the user?

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.

Of course, the reason Meta wants these laws passed is to prevent people from having alternatives when Zuck doxxes all his users.
If he does it alone, pretty much everyone with a functional brain will leave.

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

Centralized power generation being distributed over a large area is no longer smart, was never sustainable, and is now a big problem for expanding communities.
But profiteers don't' make money off local energy distributed locally via mesh networks of rooftop and small solar, residential wind, and other sustainable sources.
Their greed is limiting our options.

If you thought the age of white christian land theft, colonialism, and enslavement was over, you're mistaken.
If you thought white christians no longer destroy other people's culture, sustainability, and economy, you're mistaken.
If you thought they were smart enough to not do it the most traceable, lazy way possible, you were mistaken.

Ah, Karma. We love you.
Dealership tells her the suit against them for using the name she legally acquired had to go to arbitration instead, since the **car** she previously bought from them ad that clause in the contract?!?
I'd say "nice try" except it was a slime-ball move. Judge agrees and says buggar off.

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/

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.

"...policies tend to reinforce the economic dependence of [poor] countries on the export of raw materials, ensuring that women & Indigenous peoples are not included in the decisioning processes. When sustainable development is said to be a priority we may see the green-washing of financial initiatives..."
In other words, they have no intention of letting our rights get in the way of their profiteering.
