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.

Die #Perversion des #Asyl'rechts schreitet weiter voran.
Alles wird dem #Krieg untergeordnet, denn für die #Kriegsindustrie zählt nur #Profit, kein #Menschenleben.

If you have a licence (I don’t but my family do, so I have only just seen it), then this really worth watching. Companies such as Monsanto have polluted and killed for profit for many years. Governments across the world have condoned the behaviour or even covered it up.
From petrochemical companies (climate change) to other chemical manufacturers we allow them to kill us.

You can only optimize one:
- revenue
- profit
- growth
- cash flowWhich one matters most?

Remember the rich corps that accused you of stealing #knowledge, in the name of #piracy? This is what those hypocrites are doing to rare old #books en masse in the name of training #AI. Cut off their spine, scan the pages, and then shred them!
Imagine the value of our hereditary #knowledge they destroy for #profit! We need to rip out these #corporate #predators from our supply chain before they destroy #humanity for profit!

It's well known by both sides of the spectrum in #politics, that the #US has a de-facto ruling #oligarchy in its tech and financial sectors despite all the democratic claims. An oligarchy able to control the political system, its legislation and the application of justice through their sheer possession of #money. It's control over public #institutions is undisputed... to the extent that, in daily practice, it is bound by no legislation, no intellectual #property. It embodies the very definition and practice of #anarchocapitalism, just not so formally stated as to explicitly reject the rule of #law. Appearances must be kept, but only to a certain extent.
#LatinAmerica has its own, endemic, oligarchy problem too; not coming out of its local tech sector, but from the #drugs dealing, human #trafficking, #smuggling, #prostitution, and murder-by-contract businesses instead. Because that is what they truly are: #businesses... organizations conducting particular forms of #trade, for the sake of personal #profit. Those oligarchs, just like its american counterparts, share the exact same anarchocapitalist view that the law shouldn't restrict the freedom to do business of any sort. Even if that business ends up with a couple of bullets inside the cranium of some 18 year old kid. Accidents can always happen at the job.
The enterprise in itself always had a direct link to organized #crime, not the least because of the identical nature of their entrepreneurial activity. And that, by necessity, means that very similar practices must take place in each. It's truly not surprising that every "fully legally compliant" #enterprise is, behind closed doors, hiding plenty of illegal practices within... from #taxevasion thanks to carefully selected international banks and falsified accounting records, to financial #fraud designed to deceive investors and shareholders.
In certain moments, when this symmetry becomes specially obvious, one side and the other can truly and visibly overlap. This is how a sizable group of american business men made their initial fortunes trafficking alcohol during times of #prohibition, in the 20s and 30s, only to become the established entrepreneurial class of later years. Now, the direct successors of that group of oligarchs are in Silicon Valley at the moment, busy at the task of physically destroying the local and global environment, along with millions of old and out of print books for AI training purposes. The law, as we can imagine, has nothing to say about that.

@renardboy Agree BUT the root #truth / #onionskin is:
#Systems today NEED to have shittyness associated with it to keep it going because they were born from that shit (much like having #bank loans 'support' (#extract) from everything and everyone; wanting #infinite #profit).
The #system (=#cheating #people or increasing #prices) knows #shady #shit will have to happen (at some point) when #land & people are infinitely #rented (and taken away from #future #children who don't want / can't #pay).

"Für den VKU steht außer Frage, dass die öffentliche Wasserversorgung Vorrang vor anderen Nutzungen haben muss. "Das wertvolle Tiefengrundwasser muss für künftige Generationen und als Notreserve der öffentlichen Wasserversorgung bewahrt werden", betont der Verband. Ihm zufolge sollte ein Unternehmen nur Wasser fördern dürfen, wenn klar ist, dass die öffentliche Versorgung dadurch langfristig nicht gefährdet ist."

Indem auch in Deutschland das Gemeingut Grundwasser von wenigen Konzernen billig „privatisiert“ und teuer weiterverkauft wird, trägt auch hier der Konzern-Fossilismus zu Überreichtum weniger & der Not vieler bei.
„Während die Flüsse austrocknen und die Grundwasserspiegel sinken, zapfen Konzerne Grundwasser oft fast kostenlos an. Ein Streit um eine der wertvollsten Ressourcen der Welt.“ (2/2)

A predictable dirty play by meat and dairy industries.
It is a flight of fancy to believe industries which shorten or kill animal lives daily truly grasp the importance of caring about human health.
It is obvious they want consumers to be ignorant, scared of healthier options, and addicted so the fat profits keep rolling in and arteries keep clogging.
