Another important video from @taylorlorenz.bsky.social about how the far-right uses pop culture as a pipeline to recruit. (Something I wrote about recently.)

The private equity vultures will get even more unearned monopoly profits, thanks to this proposed sale of a govt-owned quasi-monopoly electric smart-meter business.
More power to corporations to price gouge.
We need to break up monopolies, not create more.

While it is remarkable and refreshing to hear Mark Carney’s admission that the “rules-based order” was a hypocritical theatre, Carney’s solution — intensified military spending and corporate tax cuts — merely accelerates the crisis of financialised capitalism.

Airports are for-profit corporations that operate monopolies with enormous power over businesses & passengers.
There is no economic rationale to allow these monopolies. They can't be regulated. They should be treated as public utilities.

Sounds great but this is just using national chauvinism to justify more domestic austerity and war capitalism. Europe will spend more on war, less on services and infrastructure for people. Neoliberalism continues.
