  1. A quotation from Maria Popova

    Somewhere, some rights-holder — in this case, Kultur Video — decided it was better for the world that no one see the interview online than that people see it and no one profit from it. This, right here, is the deepest, saddest brokenness of current thinking on intellectual “property” as a wealth of humanity’s greatest intellectual and creative treasures rot in the clenched talons of rights-holders unable to monetize their properties and unwilling to make them available for free. As long as we continue to place commercial profit above cultural profit, especially when it comes to archival materials and cultural preservation, we are doomed to a future bitterly divorced from its past.

    Private Healthcare Providers are simply #Leeches and #Unethical ones at that.

    That is not to say that the health workers they employ share the same social guilt. I’d wager most workers do in fact care for patients unlike their #Grifting corporate employers and the #Usurious #Insurance companies.

    Making a #Living from providing healthcare services is socially responsible.

    Making a #Profit from healthcare is #Inhuman.

    #StateTheft #StateCapture #AusPol

    Ban #ForProfit Health Insurance
    Beef up #NotForProfit Health Insurance regulations
    Boost #Medicare (also include #Dental cover) for a comprehensive public healthcare system.

  8. Do you think the #system is here to #serve us ?

    (the people behind "the system" don't keep us just-about-alive just because we make THEM mass profits?)

    Further below I'd like you to clarify if you disagree:

    - People that don't make #bosses #profit can simply #die and hardly anyone high up would #care

    - We would be dead if we didn't serve as #profit / serve our #body to them.

    - The #mind + what you think can take a hike.

    - You can go to #jail (people have)
    The wouldn't care if you did.

  9. Weird idea to stop #waste, #fraud, and, #abuse of #taxpayer #money.

    If a #corporation's #employees qualify for #government #assistance, the corporation is required to #reimburse the assistance #program for #benefits disbursed, plus an additional percentage to cover the #cost of overhead and collection of money owed.

    This would apply to employees working 30+ hours/week or who work any number of hours while holding multiple jobs.

    I love my neighbors, but my #tax dollars should not be subsidizing #corporate #profit.

  15. Rockwell Land’s Profit Jumps Almost 28% On Residential And Leasing Gains

    Rockwell Land, the company behind the high-end Rockwell Center and the Alabang Town Center (ATC), saw its profit jump almost 28% on residential and leasing gains, according to a news report by BusinessWorld.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the business news report of BusinessWorld. Some parts in boldface…

    ROCKWELL LAND Corp. reported a 27.6% increase in attributable net income to P4.73 billion for 2025 from P3.71 billion in 2024, driven by higher residential revenues, growth in leasing income, and gains from the acquisition and consolidation of Alabang Commercial Corp. (ACC).

    Total consolidated revenues rose 3.9% to P20.87 billion from P20.09 billion a year earlier, with residential sales accounting for about 75% of revenues, while commercial leasing contributed around 21%, the company said in its annual report released on Wednesday.

    Residential revenues increased by 5% on higher project completion, while retail and leasing income grew 6% due to improved rental rates and occupancy.

    Earnings were also supported by “the gain on the acquisition and consolidation of ACC” and increased contributions from affiliates.

    Expenses rose during the period, with selling expenses increasing 9% due to higher sales bookings and project completions, while interest expense went up 11% on higher borrowing costs and loan balances.

    Cost of real estate declined by 5%, partly offsetting the increase in expenses, while interest income fell 18% due to lower returns on contract receivables and short-term placements.

    Income before tax rose to P6.72 billion from P5.30 billion in 2024. Provision for income tax increased to P1.41 billion, bringing net income to P5.31 billion for the year.

    Reservation sales jumped 62% to P25.3 billion, driven by “strong demand for newly launched projects.”

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Considering the more expensive fuel prices in connection with the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, do you think Rockwell will still be able to achieve strong growth this year? Do you think they will soon announce a redevelopment of the Alabang Town Center?

  16. Der Verband reicher #Erben - die sich gerne #Familienunternehmer nennen & deren Familien nicht selten vom #Nationalsozialismus profitierten - rudert nun nach scharfer #Kritik von geplanten Einladungen der #AfD zurück.

    Da ich bis 2015 Rechtslibertäre in der #Hayek - Gesellschaft erlebte & wegen deren Verrat am #Liberalismus austrat, habe ich einen Rat: Traut solchen nicht. Für ihren #Profit würden sie #Demokratie & #Menschenwürde dem fossilen #Faschismus opfern. Erneut. t-online.de/nachrichten/deutsc

  17. “Trust me” legislation - Prohibiting the public interest
    Housing and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Bill 2025

    * "The new New South Wales Environmental Planning and Assessment (Planning System Reforms) Bill 2025, which slid through parliament in November with bipartisan support and scarcely a murmur from the press, is “trust me” legislation of the worst kind. It stands to destroy everything we love about both city and countryside while benefitting no one except the money boys."

    "In each case the effect is a stringent exclusion of irksome externalities like councils, independent agencies and the public, effecting a massive concentration of power in a few hands (those of the planning minister and their appointed staff)."

    "We’ve been down this road before, of course – far enough and often enough to know that such a concentration of discretionary power is as democratic as any totalitarian measure, and as dangerous. It’s also a huge and long-recognised corruption red flag."

  19. COLONIZED
    "they are coming for every second of your life."

    "we used to colonize land, that was the thing you could expand into, and that's where money was to be made. we colonized the entire earth, there's no other place for businesses and capitalism to expand into, and then they realized: human attention.

    they are now trying to colonize every minute of your life..." - Bo Burnham

  20. #Donation bins: #Charity or #profit?

    toledofreepress.com/donation-b
    youtu.be/M2B6Ht-fbI4

    Cons, confusion and—in one case—connections to a #cult are among the reasons #Toledo-area #charities say they want a crackdown on #donationbins that siphon money away from their missions.

    #Goodwill Industries of Northwest #Ohio is leading the charge, concerned that #forprofit companies are using donation-style bins that most people associate with local charities to mislead well-intentioned people.

  21. -> "Le débat public se résume alors à l'entrechoquement de slogans que les antagonistes, au lieu de les contredire, récusent en en dénonçant le caractère insensé."

    = affrontements idéologiques stériles.

    "Le pire dans tout ça, c'est que la connerie étant contagieuse, nous perdons tous à la disparition d'un tel sens commun." -> au #profit de qui ?

    ps : voilà pourquoi cela ne sert à rien de rester sur TwiXter :)

  23. Einem #Databroker aus den Niederlanden habe ich kürzlich mitgeteilt, dass ich die unaufgeforderte Aufnahme meiner Daten in deren Datenbank zum Anlass nehme, ihnen die permanente Verwendung und den Verkauf meiner Daten mit mtl. 1.200 € in Rechnung zu stellen. Daraufhin bekam ich eine böse, böse Mitteilung, dass meine Daten per sofort gelöscht wurden und man mich umgehend verklagen würde, wenn ich ihnen eine Rechnung zusenden würde.
