Late stage capitalism 😔
What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

This is what we should be thinking about for moving to open social away from American platforms: it should come with significant spending commitments & is absolutely necessary.

Michael Burry has dumped his Thiel stock & Nvidia. Thiel has also dumped his Nvidia maybe for Dutch tulip bulbs?
This is the new image I meant to put as main pic. It shows the change in Thiel's holdings. Those letters NVDA stand for Nvidia and the words next to it are self-explanatory "SOLD ALL".
Thiel, the closest thing that Silicon Valley has to a bond villain, has pumped & dumped. So...what happens next?!?

It's crazy to me that we still treat the online realm like a wild west with thoroughly inadequate law enforcement.
Yeah, there are civil liberties trade-offs to law enforcement. But the breadth and depth of the scam economy is clearly a cancer on our society.

October 22 is International Wombat Day, the perfect time to celebrate one of Australia’s most endearing, yet often underappreciated, marsupials. With their chunky bodies, teddy bear faces, and famously cube-shaped droppings, wombats are truly one of a kind.

Wombats aren't just cute — they're ecological engineers that shape the landscapes of Australia and deserve appreciation for all they do!

Yes it’s overdue, and no it doesn’t address every risk factor, but we can significantly curb COVID with respirator use and clean air.
