Very amusing 4-minute video by Robert Reich about how Musk and Bezos want to dismantle government protection for workers.
Quote by RR:
"14 mei 2024
Nothing tells you how important unions are like corporations controlled by the richest men on earth suing to dismantle the government agency that protects the right to organize."
The agency accused Amazon of using the app, which can be set to automatically delete messages, to hide information related to the FTC’s ongoing #antitrust investigation into the company #security#privacy
President Joe Biden is marking Earth Day by launching a website for applications for his Climate Corps jobs and training program, a plan that has attracted a lot of interest from young Americans.
NPR reports: "Eventually, the corps will employ more than 20,000 young people."
Amazon's EV company, Rivian, started 5 years ago when they bought a Mitsubishi factory in Illinois. At the old factory workers were union, made $30/hr, and had great benefits. Now, 25 years later, Rivian workers start at $20/hr, have no union, and injuries ran rampant.
Do you think it a coincidence that filth reich wing nihilionares and murdercop mayors and the DHS amd FBI work side by side with a certain genocidal theocracy?
The main problem with this article is that it doesn't acknowledge that #Billionaire robber barons, of any political stripe, should not be able to so easily gobble up the #Media.
But the point remains. The #American Far Right is much better at propaganda, and funding it, than the American Centre is at countering it.
"The Right-Wing Media Takeover Is Destroying #America..."
Very cool of Amazon to put unnecessary ads in their shows just so they can charge us more money to get rid of the ads that don't need to be there in the first place.
It's the digital equivalent of the Coca-Cola Company putting rocks into cans of soda and then introducing "New and improved Rock-Free Coke, only one dollar more than the rock-filled original!".
@pivic@bookstodon one of the strangest things about #goodreads is how absolutely terrible its algorithm is at recommendations. You might assume that Daddy #Bezos and #Amazon would know how to make that work but its truly awful. I think I'm like a lot of people in that I use it to track what I'm reading and ignore most of the social functions.
