Donald J. Trump
is a perpetrator
who did such despicable things
that he now has to do everything possible
to distract us all from them.

Always remember, never ever forget:

The return of the #RobberBaron

“the term was typically applied to businessmen who used exploitative practices to amass their wealth. Those practices included unfettered consumption and destruction of natural resources, influencing high levels of government, wage slavery, squashing competition by acquiring their competitors, and to create monopolies and/or trusts that control the market.”

I feel like we should be using the term “robber baron” more. From Wikipedia:

“By the late 19th century, the term was typically applied to businessmen who used exploitative practices to amass their wealth. Those practices included unfettered consumption and destruction of natural resources, influencing high levels of government, wage slavery, squashing competition by acquiring their competitors to create monopolies and/or trusts that control the market, and schemes to sell stock at inflated prices to unsuspecting investors.”

That sounds like some people I know…

Amazon to pay nearly $4M to settle lawsuit alleging it took tips from drivers

Amazon has agreed to pay nearly $4 million to settle charges that the e-commerce company subsidized its labor costs by taking tips its delivery drivers received from customers. The settlement was announced Friday by the District of Columbia's attorney general. Amazon paid almost $62 million in 2021 to resolve similar allegations from the Federal Trade Commission. The affected drivers in both cases were people who delivered Amazon packages with their own cars. DC’s lawsuit said the company represented to consumers that all tips added during check-out for Amazon Flex orders would go to drivers but used large portions of the money to offset drivers' earnings. Amazon has denied the allegations.

@SocraticEthics It's obviously a trap and #trump falls for it, as for all the other traps of the dictators. As a #robberbaron himself, he doesn't care anyway.

Anderson Cooper's Mother's family. Nice genealogy mapped out in his family's history. Also covers the ramifications of great wealth to those who inherit it.

@peterjriley2024 "Gould, with his seventy millions, was one of the colossal failures of our time. He was a purely selfish man. His greed consumed his charity. He was like death and hell - gathering in all, giving back nothing. To build up an immense fortune for one's self by fraud is a disgrace to the age, a mockery to virtue, a menace to public welfare."

Turns out that if you don’t make a choice, #meta will just make the choice for you and opt you into the #datacollection scheme without further questions.

Sounds _very_ legal to me.

Well, guess that’s it for #instagram for me then for the time being – until the #EU forces #meta to backpedal.

But hey, enough time to rake in „consent“ or money until then …
