Revealed: Tyson Foods dumps millions of pounds of toxic pollutants into US rivers and lakes - Lemmy.World

“What an absolute disgrace! We must not allow this travesty to continue!

The Union of Concerned Scientists must be punished, in order to protect our beloved economy and the quarterly earnings of private shareholder portfolio staples like Tyson foods/TSN!”

-Neoliberals to fascists, probably

But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders!

You think it’s liberals who would want to punish scientists for pointing out corporate greed?

NEOliberals absolutely would. I’m not accusing the minority within the majority members like Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez of such things.

Both parties literally put blinders on for places like Saudi Arabia because they’re good customers for our military industrial complex.

Pelosi defends lawmaker stock trades, citing 'free market'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is defending lawmakers' right to trade stocks. The practice has come under scrutiny because it offers members of Congress the potential to profit off of insider information gained through their official duties. But Pelosi says there's no reason to bar them from participating, citing a “free market economy." The issue of congressional stock trading has taken on new urgency since the beginning of the pandemic. Multiple investigations have probed suspiciously timed stock trades by lawmakers in both parties, though no one has yet been charged.

I’m thinking you don’t know the definition of “neoliberal.”
Yeah that’s fair, I inadvertently glossed over the “neo”. Still though, punishing scientists for getting in the way of corporate profit seems way more on-brand for modern American conservatives than any other ideology.

It’s not binary, but I agree with your general sentiment.

However, the American citizen has been propagandized and groomed to be corporate bootlickers. To our own demise, we accept the gross negligence of both parties to create reasonable regulation to maintain the balance needed for capitalism to function fairly.
