"Aussie punters are starting to realise we've been scammed. We're being totally scammed out of revenue from our natural resources. ... finite resources, once they're gone, they are gone, and the major parties are happy just to give them away."

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

Bottom line: this memo would end 140+ years of professional, non-partisan civil service. It's not about "efficiency"—it's about ensuring agencies serve political interests rather than public interest. The Powell Memo playbook in action. 📊 #GovernmentCapture

Jeff Bezos has cozied up to Trump and silenced criticism of him at the Washington Post.

Now Amazon will pay Trump's FTC a slap-on-the-wrist fine of $2.5B — just 1/10 of 1% of its total market cap — to settle a major lawsuit.

More pay-to-play schemes in Trump's swamp.

Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION
Starbucks worker pay: $15,000

Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION
Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000

CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker.
In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more.

The system is rigged.
