#Middlemen
- And middlemen are notoriously easy to replace." Silas’s face flushed a violent shade of red. "I could have your throat opened right now," he hissed. "Then do it," Jude challenged, his eyes glowing with a terrifying, silver light. "You've forgotten your place, Silas," -

Great! Go straight to the source! Avoid the middlemen.

Fuck that.
Releasing evidence of crimes is not spectacle.

Dump everything so that everybody *INCLUDING LAW ENFORCEMENT & the JUSTICE SYSTEM* can act on it.

The information isn't invalid if it's not gate kept & only trickled out through media outlets/platforms as middlemen.
Fuck that b.s. framing.

I am reminded of the Jews acting as middlemen for the Prussians after the dismemberment of Poland. There seems to be a self destructive streak among some of my countrymen.

you ever think about how it's kind of crazy that payment processors are a thing. The act of purchasing goods and services now has middlemen who take your money from you, take a percentage of it, and then give the other person less than what you paid. An entire sector of the economy is just skimming.

Overwhelmed security checks allow goods to slip in through unofficial middlemen — some connected to criminal networks — who exploit the situation for profit.
No chocolate, no beef: Israel's restrictions on goods to Gaza have created a black market
The Shortage in Basics Such as Beef, Poultry and Hygiene Products, Caused by Israel's Decision to Ban the Entry of These Products, Has Been Quickly Filled by Illegal Importers, Who Have Created an Entire Industry of Trading in Permits – Sometimes While the Army Turns a Blind Eye

Creating dollars to pay for bombs that go 💥 is way more inflationary than creating dollars to increase productive capacity

Also, single payer is deflationary because it saves money by getting rid of 2 middlemen: insurance co and banks

He should have done it

Agave for mezcal is almost the only crop I see. Only rarely intercropped with corn and squash as was the historical norm. Now it's cien porciento de agave. So much land for hipster cocktails, with branding middlemen taking most of the profits.

Property managers are the worst middlemen ever. The crap they get away with like $75-$100 application fees… don’t get me started! 🤬

It's weird and funny that Go had an interesting "language package manager" implementation to avoid needing a centralized repository or tons of central bandwidth/storage; but then for no reason Google decided to implement proxies and middlemen to emulate a central repository but worse in every […]

The way we pay is changing.

The way businesses get paid should too.

Instant stablecoin payments, right at checkout.

No middlemen. No delays.

Just money, moving the way it's supposed to.

very little money from streaming a show (if any at all) actually goes to the creators anyways, alot of the revenue is just siphoned up by the publishing company and host platform... they see maybe a few pennys of the thousands these middlemen make off their hard work and skill

fuck that shit

Perfect example of Democratic policy: convoluted, creates pointless middlemen, maintains the status quo but somehow also makes things worse

You want peace…but prep for war? Really?
Let petty enemies' enemies be pragmatic partners for now.
Cut lying middlemen, talk straight, show respect.
Smartest start to real peace.
Balance of power = closest to stability.
Let thieving rats sweat—America & Russia direct deal crushes their scam.

well in USA definitely, because of the "middlemen"

It is more profitable by far.
But it takes actual work and industry job skills and specific knowledge to a brand new unknown product. VC’s destroy inherent value, add middlemen fees, restructure to cut costs short term, bankrupt & auction pieces away. VC are EvilCORP See Sears Holdings story

The money we waste on "healthcare" middlemen is larger than the economies of many countries. Single payer NOW, no more stock-selling health insurance companies, no more private equity.
February 2, 2026 at 1:15 AM
I’ll bet both: stiffed contractors and prosperous middlemen with friends in the white house

It's that time of the year where every tax software is paying for ads to try to be your middleman for a service that 100% should never be needed

Middlemen services are a leech on society
