Cool economic system we have where profiteering has more protections than children’s health
Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill.

“I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

He Profits Off Raw Milk That’s Making People Sick. The Government Isn’t Stopping Him.
With Raw Farm, the largest raw-milk dairy in the country, Mark McAfee has capitalized on a once-fringe product that’s been thrust into the mainstream in recent years and backed by Health Secretary Rob...

Whether it's Democrats going after Eric and Donald Trump, Jr. for crypto scams and war profiteering or Republicans going after Chelsea Clinton for looking awkward during puberty, both sides have targeted presidential children.

Nobody knows this better than Dan. An insane thread on Trump's profiteering
1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers.

This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.
Ross Douthat asks the President how his net worth rose by nearly $3 billion, according to a Forbes estimate, since he returned to office.

Watch the interview Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT on 60 Minutes.

I don't quite know how to parse this cheerful socialising around and profiteering off snuff. Three people died pretty awful deaths. Drinks, cakes, giveaways, and good times!

Outrageous profiteering
Tesco profits shot up from £883m to £2.3bn.

​An extra £1.4bn+ in profit while families STRUGGLE to afford basic groceries.

​It’s not a cost-of-living crisis, it’s a cost-of-greed crisis—backed by government INACTION!

Wait! Rath is a profiteering charlatan‽ Well, I’m shocked, shocked, I tell ya.

3/ But that timeframe actually *minimizes* the extent of Trump's political profiteering. To get the full picture, we'l start on March 8, 2024, when Forbes estimated Trump's net worth at $2.3 billion, or FIVE BILLION less than he would be worth about a year and a half later.

And it all gets privatized with profiteering above all.

An interesting thread on Trump‘s profiteering from the presidency. It does NOT include the to this day unexplained stock exchange deals linked to Trump‘s rollercoaster tariff policy. Who benefited from presidential insider knowledge?

Hard cap of 15% over RRP. No more profiteering, no more gouging, no more $800 consoles because people explicitly buy them to resell. No more sneaker reselling, no more limited time drops that sell out because of people flipping. Make it a crime! It’s morally corrupt

They should also investigate illegal war profiteering
US lawmakers are looking to impeach embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as soon as next week, an effort that’s gained momentum after the Iran war he championed partly led to Republicans losing control of Congress in the midterms. bloom.bg/48zS3Kz

Profiteering, so amaze

No.

Prove the things he did were for personal gain & the jig is up.

Official duties do not include profiteering.

UK interest rates hiked to 4%.

Average real wage hardly moved since 2008. Inflation caused by profiteering, not wage rises.

Millions to hand wealth to banks, boosting their profits. Rich get richer.

Govt could have removed excess cash by taxing the rich. Could have curbed rents, energy costs.
Interest rates hiked for first time in three years – but BoE cautious over next step
The Bank Rate is back up to 4%, but opinions are split over future movement

A thread on accountability:

Rep. Smith (Armed Services) already gave an interview saying they’d be investigating LATAM boat strikes.

Rep. Garcia (Oversight) is has repeatedly spoken re how they’ll investigate Trump’s family’s profiteering, DOGE, HHS, Epstein, DHS/ICE, & corp. surveillance pricing.

The president’s answer didn’t sit well with a reporter who has regularly written about his political profiteering.

Why are they even calling it the Canada Grocery Rebate? Call it what it is, the Galen Weston Profiteering Tax. #cdnpoli

All you have to do is define price gouging in a way that prevents unethical profiteering and doesn’t create distortions. I mean how hard could that be

They are all grifting and profiteering from his presidency
