#Meta pays only $1.2B/ year over ten years, a few days of annual profit, in fines !!!
They get to control the remedies! Decide the efficacy! Dictate to other media companies!
This is no settlement, it's a bouquet of roses sent to our abuser - their stock jumped at the news.
[Show me where the liberal politicians are. There are none.]

Political differentiation is what’s needed in a political system where all parties (even the #Greens afaik) are content to work with the current #Economic system which is stuck in a 40 year old dogma; that markets know best (aka #NeoClassical or #NeoLiberal economic hogwash clearly debunked twice since the #Thatcher and #Reagan anathema on #WealthEquity , #SocialLicence and #SocialDemocracy).Otherwise the electorate would wake up to the con job the polies perpetrate.
And 100% on #FirstNations and #TorresStraightIslanders, all players in the political arena have #Abandonned them as a result of #TheVoice debacle (thank you #Anthony for doing fuck all to make sure the referendum passed, it clearly showed whose side you’re on #AlboPM )
I’m fucking sick of all polies and their lies, redirections, misdirections and disinformation. I can see no way out of this except 1) a mother of all global financial crash, or 2) people’s revolutions worldwide, or 3) both. We’ve been taken for a ride for far too long IMO.

#TruthTuesday 👇🧐
This bears sharing till we all see the #truth of our shared #history: 👉 those #1980s "leaders" - #Reagan & #Thatcher especially, & lackey-in-chief #Greenspan - these & the #conservatives that followed them, have endowed upon our 21st century a world of the hollowed #middleclass, gross #inequality, fiscal & monetary mismanagement leading to #highCPI, & endless #wars (including the enablement of #genocide such as in #Gaza). They're all dead but their torrid legacy survives...🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️👇 -
Yet another video lending more credence to the failures of #Reaganomics and the #TrickleDown economy.

“The second Trump administration has exposed the lie of Reaganomics, as well as the rot at the heart of an administration dedicated to the idea that some people are better than others. It has also shown the ridiculous cultlike behavior of those who adhere to that idea.”
—Heather Cox Richardson, December 19, 2025

#British #mainland #airbases directly used by #IDF cargo and #MidAirRefueling aircraft throughout the #genocide, including since the #Starmer administration took office.
The #UK government and establishment are in on this genocide to the hilt. Literally a principal sponsor of the destruction of the #Palestinian people.
As the #WarOnTerror was enabled by #Reagan era neo-cons (#Cheney, #Rumsfeld, #Perle, #Wolfowitz) and the Project for a New American Century, so Starmer's #Labour participation in this genocide was devised, insured, foreshadowed and the precursors put in place by #Blair, #Mandelson and #Blunkett right down to the #terrorism legislation now used to silence and persecute dissent.

LATE IN YEAR TWO of #Reagan's first term (Oct on 1982), #Unemployment SKYROCKETED to 10.8% as he slashed the size of gov't.
He then went on a gov't hiring binge, dramatically growing gov't just to lower unemployment. FOR YEARS afterward, #Republicans praised "#Reaganomics" for lowering unemployment to 7.2% (the lowest in his 8 years.)
I FEAR THIS IS THE PLAN OF T****'S HANDLERS. Massive firing. Massive job loss. Spike unemployment, then rehire all those people & soak up the praise. 🤦♂️

Ronald Reagan’s real legacy, charted and graphed. Spoiler: It’s not the bedtime story we’ve been told.
A visual breakdown of the inequality, debt, and mass incarceration still shaping our lives.
'Trickle-down' economics was never real.

I agree with you 💯 %.
However, this will only happen over many Republican dead bodies.#Reagan realized this, and they have gone down this path ever since:

Gravy Train to Oligarchy:
Historian Nancy MacLean explains that Virginia’s white elite and the pro-corporate president of the University of Virginia, Colgate #Darden, who had married into the #DuPont family, found James #Buchanan’s ideas to be spot on.
In nurturing a new intelligentsia to commit to his values, Buchanan stated that he needed a “#gravy #train,” and with backers like Charles #Koch and conservative foundations like the #Scaife Family Charitable Trusts, others hopped aboard.
#Money, Buchanan knew, can be a persuasive tool in academia. His circle of influence began to widen.
MacLean observes that the #Virginia #school, as Buchanan’s brand of economic and political thinking is known, is a kind of cousin to the better-known, market-oriented #Chicago and #Austrian schools — proponents of all three were members of the #Mont #Pelerin #Society, an international neoliberal organization which included Milton #Friedman and Friedrich #Hayek.
But the Virginia school’s focus and career missions were distinct. In an interview with the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), MacLean described Friedman and Buchanan as yin and yang:
“Friedman was this genial, personable character who loved to be in the limelight and made a sunny case for the free market and the freedom to choose and so forth.
"Buchanan was the dark side of this: he thought, ok, fine, they can make a case for the free market, but everybody knows that free markets have externalities and other problems. So he wanted to keep people from believing that government could be the alternative to those problems.”The Virginia school also differs from other economic schools in a marked reliance on #abstract #theory rather than #mathematics or empirical #evidence.
That a Nobel Prize was awarded in 1986 to an economist who so determinedly bucked the academic trends of his day was nothing short of stunning, MacLean observes. But, then, it was the peak of the #Reagan era, an administration several Buchanan students joined.
Buchanan’s school focused on *public choice theory*, later adding constitutional economics and the new field of law and economics to its core research and advocacy.
The economist saw that his vision would never come to fruition by focusing on *who rules. It was much better to focus on the rules themselves, and that required a “#constitutional #revolution.”
