So, it seems that the push toward efficiency is to benefit capitalists. Things used to take a long time to be made, and a long time to break (if at all). Make more things faster and cheaper means some CEO is making money, while the crappy products leave lasting pollution, and need to be replaced often, meaning CEO makes more money. That's #Crapitalism in a nutshell!

Imagine a historical photo of poor schmoles haggling with heartless insurance bureaucrats over life-saving treatment. Except it's your job or starving child on the line. That's 'capitalism' for ya. #HealthcareJustice #ClassStruggle #DontBankruptCancer #CapitalismSucks #HumanityNotProfit

The Bill Gates Problem

You know him as the founder of Microsoft; the philanthropic, kind-hearted billionaire who has donated endless funds to good causes around the world. But there’s another side to Bill Gates. In this fearless, groundbreaking investigation, Tim Schwab offers readers a counter-narrative, one where Gates has used his monopolistic approach in business to amass a stunning level of control over public policy, scientific research and the news media. Whether he is pushing new educational standards in America, health reforms in India or industrialized agriculture in Africa, Gates’s unbridled social experimentation has shown itself to be not only undemocratic, but also ineffective. All of which begs the question: why should the super rich be able to transform their wealth into political power, and just how far can they go?

All things computer—hardware and software—are going to get a lot more expensive in 2026. I've seen several categories of software go up 20%-40%. What's to blame? You guessed it... AI and their datacenters. Those buggers require lots and lots of ram and hard drives. Because of that scale, they have severely depleted the availability to consumer goods. K-shaped economy is real and expanding divergency rapidly. #ugh #gross #capitalismsucks

Rund 353.000 von rund 800.000, also rund 44 % der Bewohnerinnen von #Pflegeheim'en bezogen 2024 #HilfeZurPflege¹. Die Kosten für diese spezielle Art der #Sozialhilfe summierten sich im selben Jahr auf über 5 Milliarden Euro².

Die öffentliche Hand muss sich endlich zur Faust ballen und auf den pflegepolitischen Tisch hauen: Es muss endlich Schluss sein damit, dass jedes Jahr viele Milliarden an #Profit aus dem System in die Taschen der Profiteure sickern!
Eine #Pflegereform, die diesen Namen verdient, muss gemeinwohlbasiert sein und verhindern, dass Omma aus dem Heim fliegt, weil das Sozialamt nicht zahlen kann, oder überhaupt, dass Kommunen pleite gehen, weil Heuschrecken ihnen das Blut aussaugen.

Hey folks

We're so very limited in our reach and ability to help, but we know we're mutuals with a few larger account folks, as well as folks who are active on more platforms than us, so if there's anything at all you can do to signal boost this for our friend Emma and her family, we'll be more grateful than we can put into words

We first met Emma back on Twitter in the pre-Musk takeover days.

She has not only been actively supporting and caring for her kids, above and beyond her own health and wellbeing, but she's ensured that her daughter Emily -- who came out as trans young -- never had to go through the wrong puberty, and she's fought as hard as possible to fight not just for Emily's rights, but for those of all trans+ youth and adults

If you cannot afford to donate, she'll absolutely understand. All we'd ask is that you give this post a boost, quote boost her post like us, or post this elsewhere, with as many relevant hashtags as you can think of 🫶
