Fluff PR piece to get more people talking about Musk’s shitty platform.

Hiding misandry behind a bear/man comparison - cool use of statistics!

Hiding misogyny behind stats showing older women using fake news - WOW THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

All of the megacorps are raising prices because they know consumers cannot do anything about it.

Meanwhile, wages can’t keep pace with inflation because, “tHaT wOuLd MaKe ThE pRoBlEm WoRsE” Yes it would, but only allowing huge corporations to do that shit makes the class disparity worse and not allowing individuals to match is boiling a frog in water.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

More money for the executives and less for everyone else. People need to start standing up to this shit.

Many corporations simply see customer support as a department that generates 0 revenue and costs them money.

They try to bring those costs down by off-shoring support, using AI, simply not having support, etc. These companies trade the good will of customers, the livelihoods of their employees, and the larger economy all for their short term greed. Line must go up this quarter.

Tom Scott has a great video you should watch called, “2030: Privacy’s Dead. What happens next?”

The richest Americans lobbied the government aggressively to pay less taxes. They’re all skipping out on their fair share and foisting the burden on everyone with less than 100 million in the bank.

You could get a political office on a slogan like that.

Tesla has very misleading marketing surrounding the “autonomy” of their vehicles. Mercedes Benz is the first (and only) company in the US to have a level 3: fully self-driving.

I work a shitty job that doesn’t care about me. I’ll likely have to do it the rest of my life. I really hope AI doesn’t take that away from me!

Nobody is forcing me to use Office or Teams, but I’m stuck with a single ISP.

Why won’t regulators even LOOK at the ISP oligopoly? For fucks sake.

Taylor Swift launches legal broadside at a college student who tracks private jets via public data (www.seattletimes.com)

In late December, Swift’s camp hit Jack Sweeney, a junior studying information technology at the University of Central Florida, with a cease-and-desist letter that blamed his automated tracking of her private jet for tipping off stalkers as to her location. In the letter, attorneys from the law firm Venable accused Sweeney of...

The measure comes in direct response to the proliferation of pornographic AI-made images of Taylor Swift on X, formerly Twitter, in recent days....

It’s already impossible to stop.

Also, doing something ONLY when a billionaire complains, is a very bad look.

Corporate landlords are using price-fixing software to illegally raise prices and gouge average Americans. Executives need to go to jail for robbing us all.

The (already rich) members of Congress get to break the law and commit insider trading whenever they want. If you COULD commit insider trading, they would throw your ass in jail.

It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

People who have studied game theory will know that a corporation’s bad behavior needs to be met with bad behavior, or they will simply keep taking advantage of consumers. Low level employees are innocent, but executives are willingly making bad decisions with the sole interest of lining their pockets.

Edit Lol I guess instead of learning basic game theory you can just downvote and continue your ignorance. Surely that won’t make the problem worse.

Everyone’s taxes should be public information. There are too many rich assholes hiding the fact that they don’t pay their fair share.

It is interesting that South Africa ignored the genocide happening in Ukraine, but throws a fit over the genocide of Palestinians. It’s easy to realize that both genocides are bad, but why does South Africa only care about one?

Another example of corporations being above the very same laws for which the rest of us are held accountable.

HR are all class traitors. Their sole purpose in life is to pay you as little as possible and protect the people at the top who are stealing everyone elses’ profits. Fuck anyone working in HR.

You’re the kind of fool who thinks some of the nazis weren’t bad, they were just following orders.

I am very familiar with HR at multiple fortune 500 corporations.

You’re so close to getting the point. You realize HR are the executives’ scapegoats. HR’s purpose is to serve the rich assholes fucking everyone else over. Anyone working HR is complicit whether they’re intelligent enough to realize it, or just a useful idiot. Execs want and need their scapegoats. People should realize this and avoid HR (class traitor) jobs.

Tech company executives who ignore data need to be held accountable for their actions by their employees. People need to stand up and stop being sheep.

Yet tech companies keep posting record profits. Hmm, it’s low people on the totem pole get used as pawns so executives can make millions.
