100 years on and we are no different from the robber barons of the 1920s! It was oil and gas and mining and railroad wealth, now it is tech bros and developers. Corrupt to the core and disgustingly exploitative, inhumane and the epitome of excess.

The return of the #RobberBaron
“the term was typically applied to businessmen who used exploitative practices to amass their wealth. Those practices included unfettered consumption and destruction of natural resources, influencing high levels of government, wage slavery, squashing competition by acquiring their competitors, and to create monopolies and/or trusts that control the market.”

I feel like we should be using the term “robber baron” more. From Wikipedia:
“By the late 19th century, the term was typically applied to businessmen who used exploitative practices to amass their wealth. Those practices included unfettered consumption and destruction of natural resources, influencing high levels of government, wage slavery, squashing competition by acquiring their competitors to create monopolies and/or trusts that control the market, and schemes to sell stock at inflated prices to unsuspecting investors.”
That sounds like some people I know…

@SocraticEthics It's obviously a trap and #trump falls for it, as for all the other traps of the dictators. As a #robberbaron himself, he doesn't care anyway.

Anderson Cooper's Mother's family. Nice genealogy mapped out in his family's history. Also covers the ramifications of great wealth to those who inherit it. -

@peterjriley2024 "Gould, with his seventy millions, was one of the colossal failures of our time. He was a purely selfish man. His greed consumed his charity. He was like death and hell - gathering in all, giving back nothing. To build up an immense fortune for one's self by fraud is a disgrace to the age, a mockery to virtue, a menace to public welfare."

Turns out that if you don’t make a choice, #meta will just make the choice for you and opt you into the #datacollection scheme without further questions.
Sounds _very_ legal to me.

Well, guess that’s it for #instagram for me then for the time being – until the #EU forces #meta to backpedal.
But hey, enough time to rake in „consent“ or money until then …
