Economic democracy is a way of fighting this. The precise form it will take will vary from organization to organization, but will probably include democratic oversight of industry regulators and more user say in public services."

"Stronger competition policy. Competition drives productivity; most efficiency gains come not from incumbent companies upping their game but from inefficient firms leaving (pdf) industries and newer ones entering. Government must facilitate this process by suppressing monopolies and encouraging new entrants. This requires more than aggressive competition policy."
in reply to Best Troll EUW

@Best Troll EUW Policy is no good without enforcement. We have laws on the books, that, if actually enforced would stop a lot of monopolies, specifically the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, but the last time was enforced was the break-up of AT&T which lead to the shit-show of telephone service was have to day, five times the price, 10% of the reliability, and zero security. And by the same token, the DemonRats, specifically Bill Clinton, passed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which changed broadcasting rules by removing the limit of any one owner not owning more than a total of 12 stations, not more than three of them in any one location, and of those three not more than one AM, one FM, and one TV station, ensuring that there would be competition. This took us from a situation where there were 500 diverse broadcast owners and by contrast opinions represented, to six and they're virtually clones.

Have you ever witnessed how rockets rain down on the heads of Gaza's residents?
What is happening today in the city of Beit Hanoun due to Israeli bombardment is a complete genocide, its horror beyond description, and it cannot, under any circumstances, be compared to any event in modern history.

Fifty-six residents of an Indigenous Oaxaca community face 200 trumped-up charges for resisting mining in their rivers.

Mining is such a devastating, cruel, environment-destroying industry. We will soon be mining an entire Mount Everest of materials--every year. It's not sustainable. Collapse is coming.

As someone who studied modern history and lives in Germany while being Dutch, with a family history of resistance during WW2, make no mistake. The money Trump feeds to ICE means that he is creating the US version of the German Nazi SA, also known as #BrownShirts. Today they go after supposed illegal immigrants, tomorrow they will go after anyone who doesn’t fit to whatever weird version of supremacy The Leader wants.

uspol, ICE, the return of Jim Crow policing

uspol, ICE, the return of Jim Crow policing
@Brian Marick Without borders we are like Europe with no sovereignty, no say in how our nation is run because it's decided by some rich oligarchs somewhere, no thanks, we need borders and we need their enforcement. The West Coast is a shit show because we've allowed all these people to come in, given them drivers licenses in spite of their not knowing the rules of the road or the language, and by extension voting rights so they would vote for communist libtards that go under the party heading of DemonRats. Now we got tent cities everywhere, human shit on the streets, people lying around or dead from fentynal overdoses, and we know it's just a matter of time until the British style Muslim rape gangs become a thing. We need ICE to toss this shitshow out of our boarders and send them back home.

"Being a well-armed officer carrying out state violence is, however, not even in the top 10 most dangerous professions; roofers, loggers, and garbage collectors all have higher rates of fatal injury than regular police officers. Working as an ICE officer is even less dangerous than being an ordinary cop. Yet the entire mass deportations project relies on the lie that poor immigrants of color are a social danger — a myth bolstered by years of bipartisan policies around “criminal” migrants and anti-immigration discourse. Despite the fact that 65 percent of the 60,000-plus ICE arrests during Trump’s second term have been of immigrants with no criminal convictions, Trump’s servants like Lyons are nonetheless framing ICE targets as “dangerous criminal aliens.”

The danger of American immigration policy is faced by immigrants. As many as 80,000 people have reportedly died trying to cross into the U.S. through the Southern border in the last decade — each a victim of migration deterrence policies. Thirteen people have died in ICE custody in 2025 alone. A 75-year-old Cuban national died in an ICE detention center just last week; he had lived 60 years of his life in the U.S. When asked by a reporter on Monday about the latest death on his watch, Trump’s border czar Tom Homan shrugged. “I’m unaware of that,” he said. “I mean people die in ICE custody, people die in county jail, people die in state prisons.”

It takes the blind conviction of white nationalism, or the no-less-evil pretenses of a cynical propagandist, to claim that it is federal agents, rather than the immigrants they hunt, who are at risk."

Microsoft Outlook in the "cloud", the "greatest thing ever invented" according to some went down for over 21 hours on Wednesday and Thursday according to to CNBC.

I don't think I've had 21 hours of downtime total during the entire 25 years I've been managing mail. Why people are obsessed with the cloud I'll never understand. Handing over your most important data to a dishonest and self-serving corporation has never made any sense to me. Then to top it all off people get upset when Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, Google, or someone else wipes out there stuff.

What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it? They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Did you know that a term for rape in shitty olden times was "outraged". I saw a historical account of knights who "outraged" a mothers children in front of her. The wording struck me as odd and it took some digging but I learned that "outrage" used to mean a particularly brutal and violent rape, brutal enough to cause death. I imagine they'd do things like run them through during or after or as part of the rape. Some kings and their knights deserve to die.

Not that I don’t have fond memories of all those systems but I feel like Commodore and Amiga fans have been particularly targeted by nostalgia snipers.

(I’m reminded of the “official Amiga keyboard” from a few years ago, which was just a cheap generic PC keyboard with an Amiga logo officially licensed by whoever currently owns the corpse of the Amiga trademarks.)
