How wonderful to go to the local shop a little past noon on 1st January and see the shelves full of chocolate Easter Eggs. Warms me to the cockles of my heart. /s

#GraceBlakeley #VultureCapitalism “The elite would have to be trained in the art of repressing representative democracy and building a strong and powerful state, while the masses would be fed lines about 'rolling back the nanny state' and 'freedom to choose'. For some,such as Hayek himself, this 'double truth' was a necessary evil that resulted from the difficult interaction between elegant neoliberal theory and the real, messy world of capitalist political economy”

How do you fail in that market?
« SolarZero, which was sold to US private equity giant BlackRock, said it had “pioneered a new financing model” to expand its debt funding to $195 million. »
That's how you fail in that market.

I met a traveler from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . .
...
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”"Ozymandias"

> Where a New York Times investigation ends is where Grace Blakeley really begins her work, which is to “look at how capitalism really looks.” For her, the scandals illustrate not just the doings of corrupt individuals or corporations but the larger, deeper, more encompassing structural corruption that is embedded system of capitalism itself.

America underfunds its schools, and an entire vulture industry now exists to exploit children to sell their wares while giving the schools pennies on the dollar.
Why do schools in the U.S. rely on kids to raise money? : Planet Money : NPR

Looking forward to seeing what connections surface from the #CyprusConfidential disclosures about Wilbur Ross, ex-vice chair of the Bank of Cyprus and former U.S. Secretary of Commerce under Agent Orange #vulturecapitalism

I finally got to this @changelog episode in my podcast backlog with @pluralistic talking about his and #RebeccaGiblin book "Chokepoint Capitalism". As cynical my opinions are on the current state of our capitalist system before listening to it it's now even lower. I've had the book in my "to read" list for some time because I have wanted to read it but I make even less progress with that backlog than my podcast one. A worthy listening but it will get your blood pressure up. #capitalism #VultureCapitalism #LateStageCapitalism #MonopoliesAndCartels #BillionairesShouldNotExist #BigTechShouldNotExist changelog.com/podcast/535

What if this is just the late stage capitalist vulture capitalists just eating themselves. Consumers hate it and will seek places that don't have such shitty signal to noise ratio. Those could be places like the fediverse that aren't incentivized in the same way. It's not a question of ludditism. It's the equivalent of mid-20th century food product vomit that tried to convince us to eat everything with these shitty "time saving" products when we wanted real food. It didn't sink big agribusiness, unfortunately, but they had to get back to the basics. It'd be a wonderful thing in this case it sinks them with their shitty products too. #AI #enshittification #VultureCapitalism #LateStagCapitalism #fediverse
AI is killing the old web, and the new web struggles to be born -
Anyone who has been on the fediverse for more than a few years knows how these waves go. This one was the same just so much larger and with a larger bump in plateau. But we also knew this is how the tech press was going to cover the inevitable slump because they only know how to cover Silicon Valley techbro pitches which only understand a false dichotomy of “unicorns”/ “going to the moon” or “dying” for not doing so. The fediverse is not one entity much less company. I’ll take the wins and keep moving forward. I like being the underdog anyway. Best bright side is the VCs chasing the new shiny ball will maybe leave us alone and go back to doing their vulture capitalism play elsewhere. Unfortunately that may be to try to make fetch happen with crypto and NFTs again. #fediverse #TechMedia #slashdot #VultureCapitalism #Twitter #TwitterMigration

I think your post is important and needs to be spread more widely. I have boosted it.
