Strongly recommend this book.

Author clearly explains how private equity firms are destroying essential industries, how they avoid legal responsibility for the disastrous consequences, who’s empowering them and how they can be stopped.

Private equity’s is to blame for much of the worst aspects of health care, housing crisis, the economy as well as the deepening wealth gap.

oh he didn't know what private equity was until 3-4 months into writing his book... and his employer is the Department of Justice which is the government? He looks a little egotistical considering he doesn't have much experience, feels like a smear job.

and his interviewers are even more pushing anti-capitalist rhetoric... and they make things about specific politicians...

I think they're just upset capitalists figured out how to dodge taxes by using debt lol

this is sounding less like an interesting book =[

I don't think he knows anything deep, I think this whole thing is an opinion piece

@herhandsmyhands @JiSe @romancelandia They fought real hard to put copyright above first sale and private property rights. they literally passed a law to eliminate 1st sale doctrine: the DMCA.

now that the situation they made is hampering them from committing theft (in their own words!) they suddenly have a change of heart. allegedly.

"you wouldn't steal a... would you?"

they sure af would.

@RubyJones @herhandsmyhands @romancelandia Agreed. I just literally have no patience for these kinds of things. It really baffles me that a lot will even say it enhances productivity! I can’t remember the author now, but it was an erotica writer that did use LLMs and she was super proud of the fact. I haven’t read one of her books ever since because I simply don’t want to pay for generated content. How is This so difficult for others to comprehend?

Welcome Elizabeth!
The UN created Israel. The international community supports Israel’s right to exist.
There is no debate with organisations that do not.
There is no lack of information either.

@alepiad @FediFollows can be great for discovery, for general tech content @malwaretech, @arstechnica, @GossiTheDog, and @shanselman all pop up for me regularly with interesting posts. There are also "group" accounts like @philosophy that automatically share any posts from their members, discovering those allowed me to see a lot of interesting discussions without needing to follow a whole lot of people!

Escaped from North Korea With a Simphony

In the shadow of Kim Jong Il's oppressive regime, of courage and musical defiance emerges. This dramatic escape saga from North Korea unfolds with the vivid pages of a scorebook, echoing the symphony of resistance composed by an unsung hero. In this symphony, notes and melodies became the weapons of choice, challenging the iron grip of the North Korean dictator.

The composer's name remains unknown to the world, a silent tribute to the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom and artistic expression. Their life, like the crescendo of a symphony, swelled with passion and purpose. With each note penned, they risked everything to resist the order of Kim Jong Il and inspire hope among their fellow citizens.

This captivating narrative reminds us of the power of art to transcend borders and break the chains of oppression. It's a testament to the indomitable human spirit, symbolizing the universal yearning for freedom and the lengths one is willing to go to protect it.

As we celebrate the indelible impact of this nameless composer, we are reminded that even in the darkest of times, the language of music can resonate as a beacon of hope, a testament to the unyielding power of the human spirit, and a symbol of resilience against tyranny.

Menschen, der Verlag braucht Soli, mir zieht gerade eine Steuernachzahlung das letzte bisschen Boden weg. Bitte gönnt euch, wenn ihr noch ein paar Euro locker habt, was im Verlagsshop und macht auf allen Plattformen Werbung. Würden mehr Menschen etwas vom Frohmann Verlag mitbekommen, könnte er vermutlich ohne solche Hilferufe existieren – das ewige Indieproblem.

Kleiner Tipp, wenn es sich um Gewerbesteuer handeln sollte, Stundungsantrag bei der Stadtverwaltung stellen. Die sind normalerweise zugänglicher als das Finanzamt. Wobei man beim Finanzamt den Antrag ebenfalls stellen kann. Die meinen nur immer, sie sitzen am längeren Hebel.

Toitoitoi.
