If we had a strong reform minded government, our leaders could oppose these parasites, and then make examples out of those that mistreat our productive companies. Like which of these private Equity douchebags can’t be hit with a crime for something or another? Not a single one, you can get everyone with the tax evasion charges.
We need leaders that protect us from these monied parasites.
Already happened, hospitals, clinics, ambulances, but also housing.
These parasites are going to ruin us all and we are doing nothing about it.
They wanted to run the United States like Bain Capital as well. Thank God we came to our senses and instead ran it like the dirty real estate developer in bed with the mob!
I read something about the birth of these private Equity firms sometime in the late 70s or early '80s when a firm bought out this other productive firm and loaded them up with debt, paid themselves every which way they could, sold off any profitable parts of the company, then declared bankruptcy and stiffed everybody else walking away with a boatload of cash, unemployed workforces, and razed Pension funds.
We have been celebrating this type of behavior for decades now, Behavior I think exemplified in Monty Python’s skits of the pirate building seizing the other buildings like it was a pirate ship.
Does not make sense to me, but that bit was not doctrine until 350 ad.
You just taught me as much bible as I have ever learned, last lesson being south park raining frogs.

Heat pumps are the way to go. Or conditioning air with well water temps or ground temps other ways, 50 degrees year round 6 feet down usually.
Nuclear is the most expensive with long term waste, and is an existential threat.
As if we could trust industry and the government right now, ha.
We already have 4 reactors on active fault lines, others in storm surge areas of ocean, increasingly severe storms. A meltdown is when not if, as is improper disposal of waste and the ones making it sticking society with it’s cost.
Newsletters kept some informed, plays even, books. After the printing press especially.
That is why the church was so powerful though, they had people all pushing the same message working off the same game plan and it gave them real power in organization and numbers.
Not until the 18th century did they lose strict control of truth and expression.
Depends on when and where and twas religious pricks taking issue with everything mostly. Voltaire and the philosophes penned stuff in other names all the time even as it was known to be them, they’re arrested quite often and thrown in prison but would get bailed out by there aristocratic Buddies sooner than later.
England had more freedom in this regard but by the 19th century the church had lost it’s monopoly on truth and speach even on the continent.
All of that but then also that they will buy out any competition so you can care and notice, but fuck you.
Indeed it would be a dereliction of Duty for them not to Chisel everybody else down as much as possible to take a larger share. Seeing as the government is to corrupt to stop them as it is bound to do by law.
I have previously read that basically every Fortune 500 company has divisions that profit off of prison labor.
What makes you think there will be organized resistance to the party?
Just oppression, purges, projection onto groups to be persecuted, and their assets atole.
The disfavored first, soon for the end of seizing their assets.
Not civil war, oligarcgic repression, as it looks now.
I think all of the Fortune 500 companies have divisions that exploit prison labor.
They also get tax breaks for hiring felons they can pay less and even get reoffended on a whim.
The states get next to nothing either for this prison labor oftentimes, but if we looked at the deciders we would find kickbacks. Sweetheart property deals through proxies, sneaky kickbacks but nothing that could not be recognized as such.
Prison contracts are a big graft source too. A truly captive market.
People claiming to be leftists will impugn false beliefs on you any chance they get. You can be totally perfect and still be drummed out of the corp.
The so-called left is fucked, much by Design, and controlled by the right.
Not so good on equating criticizing Israel with terrorism. Or supporting disallowing protesters from being able to testify as to their motivations for breaking a law. Or for charging people with decades in prison for climate and environmental actions good and starmer cannot be used in the same sentence honestly. He’s a cynical piece of shit.

It won’t though because supply and demand are not equal countervailing forces, all of supply is controlled by a literal handful of agribusiness conglomerates. The ranchers themselves are being squeezed for decades now, the three large Meat Packing houses on the other hand are making money hand over fist.
Prices are high because of price fixing, because of illegal trusts that the government has not enforced for decades. It worked with eggs, as long as they have someone to blame it on.
