The institutions know which tokens to choose, because when they're eventually spent, they'll spend more time crying about being discarded and begging for massa to let them back in the big house than they will building with those of us who have always been on the outside. They're no threat.

Also nearly every class action I come across is various companies mining and tracking data to sell to fb/meta. Like hundreds of companies with the same buyer/broker. If they're not using the mic without permission, they're probably doing something else invasive
this might be dumb but i'm asking anyway. does IG "listen" even if the app is not open? I don't think I ever enabled the microphone because i use the app so rarely, and don't record videos.
but still.
how are they doing it?

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.
When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

If a "strong economy" can coincide with—or, more precisely, create—surging homelessness and insecurity, then maybe it's time to rethink our terminology.

You know things are bad when the WSJ puts it this plainly:
"The rewards are going toward capital instead of labor. Profits have soared since the pandemic, and the market value attached to those profits even more. The result: Capital is triumphant, while the average worker ekes out marginal gains."

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.
This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."
