No fucking shit. Large corporations only care about one thing profit. If democracy, the climate, labor rights, or anything else gets in the way of profits; then fuck those concepts. Profit must rule over everything.
Line. Must. Go. UP!!!
The solution is to force them to care through blackmailing and arrests without any due process.
I heard about this French invention that's excellent for quisine! I'm hungry. When do we eat?
I'm still waiting for people to rise up. I don't believe we will ever get moneyless communism in my lifetime but we can and we HAVE to do better than this.
Large corporations only care about one thing profit.
Eh, I'd argue that they care about things other than profit (e.g. power). Look at Leon Musk for example...that guy makes decisions all of the time that aren't for the benefit of his company's profitability.
I wouldn't rationalize too much the decisions taken by a huge narcissistic like that guy, Melon Usk...
If corporations are people, we should be able to hang them for treason.
Or treat them like their far-right allies treat socialists.
Can't hang a company. A CEO, though...
Having said that, everyone should behave, not at all calling out for violence, but people should start pressing their governments to directly hold CEOs responsible, criminally where needed
Don’t forget twitter.
This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.
FWIW it was eroding democracy even before the doughy shitlord took it over.
The first Tesla car came out in 2008. Elon was in charge at that point. He was its largest shareholder as of 2004, and it was founded as of 2003. Pretty sure it wasn't eroding anything in those first 4 carless years.
I didn’t say shit about Tesla.
The comment you were replying to
This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.
Your comment stated, "They were eroding democracy..."
If I misread your implication, apologies, but the obvious question follows: If not Tesla, who is "they" in that context?
I do see the confusion though, now.
Twitter, which is what I said in the previous comment.
Twitter isn't a top company any more.
So, what time’s the revolution? Wanna make sure I clear my calendar.
Bi-weekly on Tuesdays.
At this point I don't even care if the new revolutionary government ends up being Pol Pot on steroids, I want change.
Whoa wait the billionaires aren't on our side?
And when Lina Kahn and the FTC is taken to the Supreme Court, they will give the FTC the final blow to overthrow any sort of government sanction.
That is the plan, yes
Easy solution: dissolve them by decree.
I always knew Blackstone was up to something, that's why I bought a camp chef griddle.
The report cites Meta, the largest social media company in the world, for its vast role in permitting and enabling far-right propaganda and movements to use its platforms to grow members and garner support in the US and abroad.
yeah allowing free flow of information is bad for democracy...
in what kind of bizarro world do we live nowadays anyway
Yeah, what's up with these governments and people who want to censor white supremacy, xenophobia, nazism and pedophilia? Let the information flow freely!
