Imagine what the prices will be next week. Then imagine what the prices of everything delivered by truck or train will be. That's not many things, right?

Pay heed. Private equity firms are parasites and should be regulated into oblivion rather than celebrated as successes. It's only our ridiculous late-stage capitalism that gives them value in our very diseased society.
While this is far from the same thing, the site www.worseonpurpose.com has done a lot of digging on how private equity has ruined, and is ruining great brands and products, such as shoes, cookware, mattresses, appliances, backpacks and so on.

That's why it's so hard for many of them to change. They'd first have to admit they were wrong.

Endless corruption at our expense, this time to enable bombing more war crimes.
QUESTION: How tf is it a “sale” of weapons to 🇮🇱 if we 🇺🇸 taxpayers are the ones paying for these bombs? 🤔 💣
It’s really wild how dumb Trump & Bibi think we all are. Playing in our faces.
A war & genocide nobody wants or understands, and we all pay - In multiple ways.

Of course. We can't stop our decades-long campaign of bombing brown people.

You know, the GOP is doing a good job of making a "big tent." They now welcome both couch fuckers and dog fuckers.

The Houthis have blocked the Red Sea (and, as a result, the Suez Canal). Meanwhile, drought caused by El Nino has forced Panama to further reduce traffic through the Panama Canal. Everything is about to get even more expensive.

We've already lost global power. We have pissed away ALL respect and soft power and diplomatic influence. All we have left is the threat of the world's largest military, and we've demonstrated that we can't even keep our sailors fed. The American century is done.

If you live in the US, check your voter registration often between now and the election. You may get de-registered at any moment, and you want to know so that you can fight back.
Fuck the GOP with a poison-bladed blender.

Just a brief update on the state of humanity:
It's 2026, and we're staring down the double-barrel shotgun of climate change and resource depletion, wondering whether AI will kill us first.

The first obligation of citizenship is to pay attention.
every republican voter is guilty
Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’
It’s our duty to know.

My voting strategy goes like this: I'm going to vote blue no matter who in the general election. However, in primaries, I'm going to vote for progressive candidates who support the things I want: universal health care, not-evil foreign policy, support for unions, and more.

Making sure @eff.org knows about this, so that they can, hopefully, warn people from their much larger platform.
🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨
While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.
