Já podemos dizer que os netos dos sobreviventes do Holocausto se tornaram nazis racistas, ou isso é ofensivo, apesar das ocupações ilegais de território nos países vizinhos, do genocídio de Gaza, da guerra de agressão contra o Irão (que tem ainda o condão de prejudicar fortemente a economia global e a vida de todos nós), e deste retrocesso que é restaurar a pena de morte, mas só para pessoas de um grupo étnico específico?

"Avisa" com crimes de guerra está mal escrito....

«Estamos a entrar na fase violenta desta cultura de rapina, em que se fabricam danos colaterais no Parlamento para que, nas fábricas de offshores, o negócio continue de vento em popa. É por isso que vemos na mesma fileira a Leninha Taralhouca do Chega e o refinado Paulo Abrenúncio do CDS. Uns são os idiotas úteis, os outros são os vendilhões do templo. Tudo bons cristãos.»

After the right to torture Palestinians, Apartheid Israel claims the right to HANG Palestinians. The shame of the century continues.

Ben Gvir belongs in The Hague.

🦔 Oracle laid off between 20,000 and 30,000 employees Tuesday morning, roughly 18% of its global workforce, via a single email sent at 6am EST with no prior warning. System access was revoked almost immediately after. The cuts are expected to free up $8-10 billion in cash flow. Oracle's stock has lost more than half its value since September 2025 and the company now carries over $124 billion in debt, up from $89 billion a year ago, with free cash flow running negative $10 billion last quarter.

My Take
Oracle posted a 95% jump in net income last quarter and still eliminated 18% of its workforce by email before most people finished their morning coffee. This is not a company in distress in the traditional sense. It's a company that made an enormous debt-funded bet on AI infrastructure and is now converting its workforce into cash flow to service that debt.

We've covered Oracle's AI gamble for months. The $300 billion OpenAI deal through Stargate, $50 billion in capital expenditure this fiscal year, over $124 billion in total debt. Multiple US banks have pulled back from financing Oracle-linked data center projects. Bondholders have sued Oracle claiming it concealed how much additional debt the OpenAI deal would require. The credit default swap spread hit a three-year high earlier this year, meaning debt investors are genuinely nervous about getting paid back.

The workers who got that 6am email built the products Oracle has monetized for decades. The bet that eliminated their jobs was made by people who were already paid regardless of how it turns out. That is the part of the AI infrastructure race that doesn't show up in the capex announcements.

Não é à toa que os banqueiros se esforçaram por nunca cobrar as dívidas de Berardo. Neste processo só se tramou (se é que se tramou) o testa-de-ferro. Os verdadeiros autores do esquema ficaram impunes, e assim querem continuar.
