Reddit/Stack/AI are the latest examples of an economic system where a few people monetize and get wealthy using the output of the very many.

Friendly reminder that Judge Aileen Cannon was a Trump appointee. So much for proving the critics wrong.

It is absurd that Saudia Arabia will be hosting the UN Comission for Womens rights. ‘They’ve destroyed us because of some tweets’: why has Saudi Arabia targeted these three sisters? Saudia Arabia is as shit as Iran's regime.

Religion and patriarchal control and oppression of women pretty much anywhere in the world is like white on rice.

Obscene oil wealth that swallows up any attempts to focus on the regimes across the board human rights abuses. Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, which oversees about $650 billion in assets invests in US and global markets, in twitter, banks, in global sports, in US weapons, in surveillance, in wars... Saudi golf takeover is blueprint for what they want to do everywhere else

Retailers jacked up prices and squeezed consumers. They might have just blinked I hope consumers still don't bat many eyelashes because capitalism best practices def looked to squeeze consumers. Record profits, stock markets riding high, rich got even richer, meanwhile ever more people struggle up and down 'main street'.

How the internet created ever more hucksters. Went from door-to-door to screen-to-screen salespeople. Topping things off, if they're growing up okay being influenced by a bot, well aren't we all screwed.

$$$$$ "The 2022 audit, released in November, marked the fifth year the Pentagon had failed its audit (the process started in 2017)."

Jon Stewart blasts ‘corruption’ in Pentagon spending

“Now, I may not understand exactly the ins and outs, and the incredible magic of an audit. But I’m a human being who lives on the Earth and can’t figure out how $850 billion to a department means that the rank and file still have to be on food stamps,” Stewart said. “To me, that’s fucking corruption. And I’m sorry. And, if like, that blows your mind and you think that’s like a crazy agenda for me to have, I really think that that’s institutional thinking, and that it’s not looking at the day-to-day reality of the people that you call the greatest fighting force in the world.”>

I've posted this several times and may give some background. Its from Amnesty International (2017):

Israel’s Occupation: 50 Years of Dispossession

For half a century, Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip has resulted in systematic human rights violations against Palestinians living there. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/
