    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.

  7. @IanStuart cool thst you have a #heart and take action... Most people will not understand, try again with a poster that shows what #us #weapons do to families, #rheinmetall and other #eu companies are no better, they #profit from #death and #fear and #trump and #putin makes #eu give them even more #money until the #ww3 #powderkek #explosion #surreal #protesters #germany glue themselves to ground to block entrance of #rheinmetall #factory #bonn over #weapon #delivery fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app

  8. 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.

  9. @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).

  10. A quotation from Jean Kerr

    I have two trifling ambitions in the theater: to make a lot of people laugh and to make a lot of money.

    Jean Kerr (1922-2003) American author and playwright [b. Bridget Jean Collins]

  11. Die Realität sieht leider ganz anders aus: Gespräche im stillen Kämmerlein, bei denen wichtige Personenkreise fehlen. Kein #Betriebsrat. Keine #Gewerkschaft. Keine #Gesundheitspolitik.

    Wenn ein Konzern so agiert, ist das zwar verwerflich, aber nachvollziehbar. Schließlich geht es um #Profit und nicht um Menschen.

    #FirstNations chiefs shouldn’t be duped by the ‘#nuclear-is-green' deception

    by William Eric Altvater, February 6, 2025

    "Some First Nation Chiefs are victims of shenanigans, not unlike the swindle behind the purchase of Manhattan. The federal government needs the support of #Indigenous peoples to expand nuclear power generation capacity in #Canada.

    "For millennia, the cornerstones of the Indigenous people that inhabit Turtle Island, now known as North America, held all that is essential to life, in reverence. Every decision considered the next 7 generations. These cornerstones are crumbling.

    "Newcomers, armed with the #Colonizing tool, 'The #DoctrineOfDiscovery' and their mentality of superiority, invaded the land of those they called 'Savages,' almost totally exterminating #Skicinuwok, People of The Earth.

    "Determined to bestow Christianity and civility to this wild untamed population, old growth forests were cut, rivers and streams were dammed to power sawmills, roads and railroads were built, bridges erected. All to create an infrastructure for #capitalism, a system to make a #profit, that morphed into #greed, a word of foreign root. This unbridled desire for progress has ruined what was once called Paradise.

    "Now most water is not fit to drink, clean air is scarce, #deforestation is rampant, #biodiversity loss out of control, plants genetically modified, food manufactured with unpronounceable chemicals, caged fish starved of oxygen while being fed chicken feathers and pig parts, cancer cases in the millions, the list goes on.

    "As the population increased over this continent the available sources for power generation have not been able to satisfy the insatiable desires of the 'bigger, better, faster, more is never enough' mentality. Some have finally acknowledged the fact that #FossilFuels are not the golden egg they were once deemed to be.

    "So-called '#GreenEnergy' is required to slow the blind drive to extinction of man; man, who is considered by some to be the most intelligent creature to ever roam Earth. Unfortunately, the lure of riches and the corruption of self-serving purposes have led man to stray from practices that nurture everything required to sustain life on this tiny blue marble floating through the universe.

    "#NuclearPower is now being touted as being 'Green.' It is not. Big money corporations are lobbying legislators to convince them and the public that it is. They are also lobbying to convince the public that they should foot the bill in the form of taxes and rate hikes, for a process that pollutes from the day it starts. Water is life. As soon as #uranium is mined from the earth it begins to contaminate the water in surrounding aquifers.

    "When the uranium is processed sufficiently, it is used as fuel for reactors where it generates heat while delivering electricity, not just for essential needs, but also for many things once considered luxuries. This fission generated heat is then dumped into nearby waters where it kills thousands, if not millions of small beings that form the basis of life itself.

    "After this radioactive fuel is depleted, it is stored in various containers where it will stay radioactive for eons. Indigenous #Grandmothers have labelled it 'Forever Dangerous.'

    "The power generated during the fission process benefits only those who exist today as the process occurs, not those born tomorrow or next week or next month. All the #RadioactiveWaste and the inherent danger it creates is left to future generations, kicking the can down the road.

    "What better place to dump this waste than in an area with a population that has witnessed Newcomers enrich themselves for hundreds of years? Yes, what better place than a population that has been targeted for assimilation, suffered theft of lands, witnessed the taking of naturally bestowed rights? A population that has been subjected to racial Indian Act legislation essentially stripping away all that sustained this population for thousands of years.

    "Yes, let us give the Indians some more shiny beads and trinkets so that they willingly agree to care for our radioactive garbage. How do we do this? Let’s talk to the Chief and Council. Let’s wine and dine them. Let’s give them some money, take them to dinner, buy some drinks and make them feel all festive and most of all make them think we are looking out for their best interests. Some Chiefs have taken the bait.

    "Egregious as it may be, this is exactly what is happening in some Indigenous communities contrary to the will of the majority. Elected Chiefs are continuing the deception as they are blinded and professing the 'Nuclear is Green' mantra. They have lost connection with the Spirit of Ancestors and traditional values. They need to have a serious introspection and realize that looking forward, we need only look back at what has sustained us to this point in time. We need not do any more than that."

  17. Farmers ‘very worried’ as US pesticide firms push to bar cancer diagnoses lawsuits

  18. CW: USPol - Trump, tariffs

    As a consequence of these various #personality, #temperament, and #intellectual #deficits, Trump is, for a world leader, amazingly easy to #manipulate.

    If you #butter him up, and suggest doing something will make him look good - well, there's a good chance he'll listen intently. He likes to listen to people telling him he's wonderful, and giving him easy ways to appear more wonderful. Much better than listening to people asking him to choose between tough or ugly choices on complicated subjects.

    He's also got that tendency where he believes whatever the last person he spoke to told him. This is why people - remember those oligarchs who were literally in front-row seats at his inauguration? - want to be close to him, figuratively and literally. If you keep his #ear, you can keep him behind your needs, your ideas, your wants.

    So, given all this, why the hell did he declare #economic #war on #Canada (and Mexico, and China, but I'm #Canadian) when it was:

    (a) obviously a bad idea for the US and the world #economy; there will be pain, and it will hurt him - price of eggs and all that
    (b) not something that was going to personally #profit him in any big way
    (c) not in the interests of his #billionaire oligarchs
    (d) not a primary plank in his campaign - at least not in this scorched-earth approach he's taken

    Why?

    This is paywalled, so a summary would be nice.

    Detailed thoughts on need for climate paywall exceptions at link below, but short form is: there must be no secret existential threats to humanity.
    climatejustice.social/@kentpit

    Also, the actual requirement under shareholder capitalism that corporations be sociopathic (see my Fiduciary Duty vs The Three Laws of Robotics) is bad enough, but is there really a fiduciary compulsion to keep shareholders from working around that compulsion?? I think not.

    I would, if I were the stockholders and had the means, actually sue the principals individually as humans for that level of interference, which ought not just be a crime against humanity (something we seem not to think is a big deal worth prosecuting) but also an interference with shareholder sovereignty (something capitalism does care about).
