@lin11c They play one poor or ambitious region against another. They are constantly on the look out for tax loopholes, anything to avoid. They try and subcontract and outsource where possible, anything to avoid decent jobs because decent jobs hurts their voracious hunger for more profits, more power.

Big Tech--the most powerful companies in the world--are on corporate welfare. Always with their greedy hands out for more, more, more. No wonder they trade in secrecy.

I know!! It drive me crazy! I wonder it these politicians get kickbacks. That seems to be the only thing they care about these days. The corruption really is that bad now.

@lin11c @gerrymcgovern no no, kickbacks and other forms of bribery are illegal, and nobody would ever suggest our fine, upstanding elected officials would do anything illegal. However, it's perfectly above board for politicians to move on to well paid positions as consultants and lobbyists when their time in elected office is complete.

Oh please. Case in point: Clarence Thomas. The king of bribes. #DonTheCon's inaugural committee. Just two examples.

@lin11c @gerrymcgovern I see I'm going to have to add /s to even more of my posts...

@gerrymcgovern @lin11c every era is the same. It used to be big tobacco, or big oil, or big steel. The problem is capitalism. People will inherently do everything they can to hoard resources. I don’t think people understand the possibly of a post resource scarcity world.

It's the tanking of almost all anti-trust legislation that has destroyed us. We are enshittified the most in the media because it is simply a billionaire disinformation sewer now. I remember when people were raising alarms back in the 90s.
