@[email protected] I believe Apple should have the right to control its own ecosystem. But thats why federation and decentralization is important – so that monopolistic attemts at gatekeeping by entities like Apple are prevented. I hate hate speech but I hate concentration of power more.
"On May 6th, the Iranian government imposed the second internet shutdown in 12 months in the province of Khuzestan in an apparent response to protests against possible rising bread prices and rationing."

"In the past, FilterWatch has observed a similar pattern of preferential treatment and tiered access in which institutions including banks, news agencies, police stations and government offices alike have remained connected while regular Iranian users, who use the same ISPs, lose access. "

Thats what happens when people cancel those with different views than them, they become ignorant. We dont erase the problem by closing our eyes. I did not vote for #BBM but the people I know who said they would end friendships because of who their friends voted for in the #Philippines #2022election are all #Leni voters.

"The central bank announced in January that it is set to loan out another P300 billion to the national government.."

Does the #BangkoSentral #BSP #CentralBank lend money directly to the #Philippines government(national & local)?

I see the BSP works differently than the #FederalReserve. Like the BSP can fight inflation by directly removing money from circulation by issuing securities. The Fed can only control interest rate(?).
Am I looking at #MMT here?

@HaydenLaCelle Taking #Musk's stated goal at face value, he doesn't regard his plans to cause harm but GOOD. As for the craziness of the existence of the #megarich, blame #centralbanks #FederalReserve for that.
@n "#Poor" is #subjective though. I think a "poor" #rural #landowner #farmer is richer than a "#middleclass" #urban #market #dependent #renter #wageslave
@scottcbusiness I think in general, concentration of ANYTHING is bad. I also think that if you respect #selfownership & #property and consider #authority(right to be obeyed) laughable, that concentration of wealth and power is impossible. Obviously Im a "crazy" #libertarian.
@qkslvrwolf The tooter would be notified that you faved their toot, and the toot would be saved in your faves tab, but no algorithm that will show your toot more to more people for being faved more. Thats what I know, maybe Im wrong.
@Bradley_JF I almost tried #Husky but when I first looked at it in #Fdroid I saw that the last update was in 2020. Though when I looked again last night, I saw they updated it. But #Tusky's Local & Federated are working fine now so Ill just stay here.
