Political US Podcast titles: "Our Rights are degrading"

For an English speaker using the passive voice is remarkable.

People vote for neoliberal politicians repeatedly and they take away rights.

This holds true for both major parties in the US. Neoliberal disproportional favors owners esp. the 1% billionaires.

Analysis on Jeff Bezos-backed Arrived, which allows people to become fractional landlords:

“What we are seeing around us right now is that a system where greed is held up as something to pursue, where selfishness is a virtue, leads to immense inequality and immense harm. We see that perhaps most clearly in billionaires amassing fortunes larger than entire countries while their neighbors are forced into homelessness.”

If you would like to make your blood boil, do a comparison. Here are prepaid plans in Spain from one of their major telecommunications companies, Vodaphone, compared to Telus

It costs 10£ ($CAD15/mo) for 50GB plus roaming in Europe *and* the USA. The top plan is 160GB for 30£ ($44).
Imagine!?

Telus: 10GB is the top prepaid plan for $55 and roaming isn't even considered!!!

'Consider switching' mobile carriers, says federal department over price hikes | CBC News

Even as the minister responsible admitted there aren't enough competitive options for mobile service in Canada, another federal official said consumers can and should search for other service providers when faced with price increases.

@michaelgemar So -do I. But watching the world go by for 82 years I really, really doubt it. There is never enough money for infrastructure and for the good of the community. Corporations because of the #ExtremeCapitalism of the USA do not pay taxes. So - #Toronto is screwed especially since Toronto does NOT vote for #DougFord.
@LillyHerself Agreed. #Totally.
As a side note:
But with #communism gone the #USA decided that #Capitalism had won and what is better than capitalism? #ExtremeCapitalism.
@BartWronski Agreed. How will technology including #AI be used by #BigBusiness, the #Oligarchy and #ExtremeCapitalism to break #Democracy and get total control.
@nlarson830 Be cheaper, much cheaper and #ExtremeCapitalism and #ShareholderValues wins. #Neoliberalism. I suspect #Journalism will go the way of the Dodo bird. Someone on my family has a degree in journalism. Its not being used.
