Right. Coke/Fanta, IBM, Hugo Boss, idk how many German automakers, Ford, Chanel, the list goes on. All household names around the world, without the slightest pangs of conscience. If only corporations were legally considered people and could be tried and exec- oh wait, they ARE considered people.
Yes and when they sneeze that’s called a…
Thanks so much
I must be stupid, could you elaborate?
Just went thru a big (unrelated) homelab restore
Had no doubt. Just funny in a “This kills the crab” kind of way.
Have You Know?
“Foundation Security” 🙄
Probably related to the Foundation series from Isaac Asimov and Musk’s absurd idea that he is remotely a figure in some such space story.
Looked for this comment before saying the same thing. This is just what emerged at that time as a wonderfully convenient tax avoidance scheme, however organically. Art gatekeepers are tax dodgers’ useful idiots.
It may be aesthetic. It may be beautiful. But applauding while traitors converge upon some artist and their work is a mistake. They will always use this shit to rob society blind.
Luckily the time for highly centralized art opinion is somewhat over with the internet. It is much harder now to ‘force’ opinion to be that so-and-so is just divine and worth ten billion dollars for any art they create.
Find any video on YouTube about Mondragon in Spain. This is a good one from Dutch broadcaster vpro. It’s like the 9th largest organization in Spain, highly successful in other words. The Marxian economics Professor Richard Wolff gave a ‘Talk at Google’ years ago that is in part about Mondragon. He discusses Mondragon in much of his work in fact.
There is also some academic work that shows that worker coops are more resilient during recessions and, for example, the global financial crisis. Here’s a DW (German) minidoc discussing that fact https://youtu.be/zaJ1hfVPUe8
“iT wAs A rApId UnScHeDuLeD dIsSaSsEmBlY”
I am an American, and I once found myself far from home traveling through what I later learned was a ‘bedroom community’ in New Jersey just trying to find a place where we could all pull over and eat something, but apparently “restaurants” were just supremely exotic anywhere within in those, Idk, 300 sq miles.
It was EXTREMELY unsettling… even for an American!
Holy shit Tapper wrote this book that is (oh so totally organically) driving the commentary right now?
Fucking Jake Tapper who was just famously neutral and unbiased toward all other candidates than Joe Biden during the 2020 primaries?
How rich that he of all people is cashing in now on the Biden blame train.
On Wikipedia, an article for a deceased person reads, “[The deceased] was,” while an article for a TV show that has ended reads, “The Office is”
Feels kinda related in some way
Do people here know who this Fat Electrician guy is? Because I’m vaguely familiar with him and his YouTube channel and my instinct is that the majority of us here on lemmy were rather the opposite of him at 15 (libertarian phase or some other antisocial ignorance) and now around 30+ years old the disposition is much more ‘the modern city is in so many ways a marvel of cooperation and achievement.’
From my encounters he is a ‘society bad, the end’ type and not at all a ‘capitalism bad’ type. I guess that is lumpen proletariat? Anyway I’d love to be proven wrong but I was already too red flagged and turned off to dig further into his content.

Sorry, I tried 12ft.io and archive.org but couldn’t find a non-paywalled link
Well, in Dave’s CEO’s defense, it was just Google Ads.
Just, you know, that thing that largely provides the income for a world top-ten company.
This is, excuse me, fucking brilliant
Caught my eye too and it feels eerily reminiscent of the alt-right “coomer” and “consoom” kind of vocabulary, although I stress the word “feel”
Awesome, thanks for sharing and making this effort! Bookmarked for later when I can listen to your work.
How do you feel about Audacity?
Link? Didn’t see that
