@Lady Izdihar The Red Scare wasn't about protecting democracy. It was about silencing labor organizers and other "subversives." And it's still happening today. #workersrights #corporategreed
I hate the Halifax wers.
Closed my local branch last month but instead of warning/informing me of this in advance they send a letter to my inbox the month before telling me about a branch in a completely different town closing in November.
The universe does not have enough atoms for the number of facepalms required, as though it wear sent to my online inbox they still compose/lay them out like letters, complete with my address, in the town I live at the top.
How dumb do you have to be to.think that town A is town B when they are completely different names, beginning with completely different letters & having completely different postcodes?
It's been near 3½ weeks since I complained & they acknowledged, but do I have the info I need? Info like, alternative places to do my things in person?
Nope. (FYI: No banks left in my town now!)
Fuck you very solidly, where the sun don't shine FAILIFAX!
After a weekend chill out, or an attempt at it, it's Financial Ombudsman time.

Trump is weaponizing “pricing optimization” consultants to gouge more consumers.
“Trump’s administration halted a probe of surveillance pricing — now “price optimization” consultants are helping corporations weaponize Trump’s tariffs to jack up prices on consumers.”
“Now is the time to take advantage,” said one consultant.”

I get that adding unskippable commercials to all streaming services is simply a manifestation of #corporategreed, but what kind of #marketing genius thought it would be a good idea to make my toddler watch three auto insurance ads before each episode of number blocks?
Same driver, 26 years apart in China.
Meanwhile, countries like Australia and the USA are in the same boat when it comes to trains. Rail doesn’t suit the interests of private trucking companies, airlines, and bus operators — so it’s been left to decay. When nations let big corporations call the shots on public infrastructure, everything starts to fall apart.
#Reading How Beautiful We Were, a beautifully told story of #activism and cultural and community connections along with the ugliness of #environmentalRacism and #corporateGreed of #BigOil and complicity of governments in the death of people and the #environment.
@thenarwhal This fills me with rage
Disney loves nothing more than to imitate Netflix, just as Netflix loves nothing more than to screw over their customers. Screw capitalism!
Now ain't this some Apple-level greed. EA & the gang need to take notes. Sheesh!

Nobody should really be surprised; this is the sort of business practice that gets healthcare CEO's shot on the street.

CAVE: collaborate, advocate, vote, educate
The role of commercial policy in politics is to keep private companies under control not to do them favors. That's to ensure, that #capitalism is not unleashed. That's the duty of the state towards its citizens. Because capitalism, at its core, is an Ouroboros that would devour itself if given the chance.
