Once again, I just want to say that lavish gifts to Supreme Court justices shouldn’t just be “disclosed.” They should be banned, outright. This should not be a radical position.
@rbreich SCOTUS can decide cases however they like. But when they make decisions out of step with society as a whole, they undermine the entire system, losing public respect and paving the way to mob violence.
@arstechnica Always a little joyful when the ruling class slips their kimono enough that we can see just how much they fear the rest of us.
In the last two weeks, we've been gifted this idiocy of ETrade, and the FAA allowing private jets to fly anonymously. Pretty good, even for an election year.
EXACTLY. There is an extremely limited number of billionaires who give a shit about anything except whatever will get them "more". Never forget that to the 1%, the rest of us are just in the way; vermin to be owned, controlled or exterminated. The criminal justice system works for them, and they're looking to fully own the government and courts before this is over.
On the plus side, anyone who gets a billionaire "endorsement" risks triggering red flags. Even for MAGAts.

🥥 Eye submit that the 344-to-1 pay gap between overpaid CEOs and their employees is fueling low pay for workers in ways that are both obvious -- in the US wealth gap -- and hidden -- as in the inflation of most goods and services.
And don't even get me started on how blatantly the toxic rich are purchasing elected officials, the judicial system, and policing. 🥥 #EconomicDisparity, #CEOPay, #EarningsGap, #TaxTheWealthy, #EatTheRich, #BongHits4Workers, #TuckersBalls
@rbreich and where are the Biden tax raises? If Trump gets the credit for the tax cuts, where are the #Biden raises that Biden did to put us back to good or better? 4 years is all it took for Trump to lower taxes, why can't Biden do the reverse? Cause maybe it's a rigged system? #eattherich
Well, problem 1 is using indeed. What an obsolete site for most places. But i get the joke.
Not that prospects are much better elsewhere. Like LinkedIn for instance with their “click here for instant apply” and then you see that you’re one of 50 people (today) to apply for this open role and some AI in the background estimated based on your profile that you have 22% chance of getting the job BUT if you pay for premium you can knock that 22% up to 50% and an AI writes you a better profile…
I really do feel sorry for the crap the boomer gen and even my generation (genx) has left every generation after.
