Capitalism is cancer and corporations and billionaires are its tumours. And the most successful among us are those gainfully employed to tend to the largest tumours. Unless we fundamentally change this system, we can’t fix any of the existential threats facing us. Humanity has cancer and we’re celebrating tumour growth instead of taking immediate and decisive action to rid ourselves of the disease. #capitalism #cancer #corporations #tumours

#Corporations doing A/B testing on the users without informed #consent should be recognized as doing Dr Mengele kind of thing. #Google redirecting road traffic or Facebook experimenting with showing different kind of stuff, that's all nonconsensual human experimentation. Nazi shit.

Tax Breaks for Data Centers Are Ending, With More States Revoking Them

As the AI infrastructure build-out continues to meet headwinds from concerned citizens, three states recently signed laws ending what had been the largely-standard practice of exempting data center operators from paying sales taxes. Tucked into a state budget passed on June 15th, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs touted that data centers located in the state would […] The post Tax Breaks for Data Centers Are Ending, With More States Revoking Them appeared first on Good News Network.

The world’s biggest ultra-processed food companies have filed scores of lawsuits challenging government policies that tackle junk diets, the Guardian can reveal. Ultra-processed food (UPF) is linked to harm in every major organ system of the human body and poses a seismic threat to global health. Worldwide consumption is rising and UPF now makes up as much as half the average diet in many countries, including the UK, the US and Australia. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jul/22/processed-food-firms-courts-obstruct-health-regulations #Health #UPF #Food #corporations

Although some bureaucratic hurdles remain, a lease sale brings #fracking to the #forest for the first time – the subject of political effort since at least 2016 [since #Trump’s first term] – far closer to fruition, giving specific #corporations legal rights to the #land & #minerals beneath it. #law #EnvironmentalLaw #FossilFuels #LandConservation #wildlife #ecosystems #FederalGovernment #Ohio #WayneNationalForest #NationalForest #oil #gas #ClimateChange

“AI didn't kill #programming. You killed programming decades ago by stripping it of all individuality and #curiosity to satisfy the whims of giant #corporations. You created #universities that taught only one #language and trained programmers to never think of programming as personal expression. You turned programming into a sterile #profession who's only purpose is making other people money. You even went so far as to hunt down and threaten anyone who dared to disagree with you. You threatened their jobs, their reputations, and their mental health over petty bullshit like an underscore in a variable name. You worked extremely hard to frame programming as only a profession that serves corporations, and made sure anyone who threatened the great corporations was shut down, ridiculed, humiliated, and fired. So everyone fell in line, made only projects for corporations, and talked only about how they could best serve corporations. Even when they tried to fight back against the corporate mindset they came up with a movement that's still about corporate efficiency. Congratulations bootlickers, you got what you wanted.” Don’t ever change Jed ☺️ #OpEd / #LCTHW / #JedAShaw

"The corporation a present-day instrument of destruction because of its compulsion to externalize any cost that an unwary or uncaring public will allow it to externalize. The notion that we can take and take and take and take, waste and waste, without consequences, is driving the biosphere to destruction.” — Ray Anderson #USPol #Corporations #CitizensUnited #SCOTUS #Laws #Congress #Socialism

If there exists #corporations in our modern world, with net value/revenue equal to, or higher than some #countries and #governments, what makes You #think that those corporations are not part of, and do not have #influence over governments, or don't cooperate with them ? We need to wake up and see, that consumerism and corporations go far above selling and buying, and that they are equally a part of how our countries function, and how we are being influenced in variety of ways. #foodforthought #bigcorp #countries #socialsciences #humansciences #anthropology #consumerism #modernworld #freedom #money #economy

Replying to @brume@piaille.fr
@brume@piaille.fr @anon_opin@mastodon.social The answer is "by regulating them". But we live in an age of regulatory capture and government not protecting the consumer. "If you don’t like predatory and unethical behavior of particular companies, realize that the companies are only doing what is logical to bring greater value to the shareholders. They don’t self-police. That’s why we need government and regulations." https://byzantium.txcolliers.net/index.php/2025/02/21/airbnb-and-capitalism/ #Politics #Regulation #Corporations #Ethics

In a previous job, the head of our department wanted to impress on the C-level executive he reported to that he was a fantastic manager. (My reporting line went CEO, the C-level executive, this department head, team manager, me.) He decided the best way to do this was to produce a monthly report for his boss. So one day the department head held a meeting with all the team managers who reported into him (including my boss). Data-driven decision-making was the future, he announced. He tasked all of them with producing a monthly highlights report for their teams. He would select the top highlights from those reports for his report to the C-level executive. Naturally, my boss, and everyone at that same team manager level, wanted to show the department head that they were a great manager. So all the team managers tasked all their reports (at my level) with producing a monthly report of their own. All the key highlights and stats from everyone's month had to be documented. Reporting became a critical task. For at least a couple of days each month, all nonessential tasks had to be paused for reporting. So imagine: A few dozen staff at my level each producing a personal report over a couple of days each month. Those personal reports were compiled into team reports by the team managers over a couple days each month. This was followed by countless meetings with the department head, where each team manager pled their case for their team's achievements being included in the report to the C-level executive. Eventually, the best highlights from those team reports were culled into the department head's monthly report to the C-level executive. Anyway, one day the C-level executive called everyone into a Teams meeting. He announced he was leaving the organisation. At the very end, there was a Q&A. Someone asked him about the reports. He said he never read any of them. #corporations #corporate #business #management #leadership #capitalism

it happened to my veterinary clinic. has it happened at yours? big vet corp (not a music subgenre) is buying up local vets & jacking up the prices, increasing the debt burden on already-struggling people who love their companions. new reforms would cap vet charges. this is an opportunity to kneecap the corporate vet lobby. please, sign the petition. #health #corporations #dogsOfMastodon #catsOfMastodon https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/make-pet-care-affordable
