Climate scientists want us to look at the fundamental failings inherent within corporate-controlled democracies. To hear about that, you’ll have to go beyond the mainstream press. Sources and to read more:https://t.co/TieSooWjcp pic.twitter.com/XI1F4LVo4R— Nate Bear (@NateB_Panic) November 3, 2023

THREAD. Behind closed doors, a little-known bureaucrat in Los Angeles just signed one of the weirdest--and most dangerous--contracts I've seen in my career: it gives huge control over the “justice” system in Los Angeles to the consulting firm Accenture.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) September 4, 2023

“Damn. This is the most unreal (and yet depressingly so real) story of unintended consequences I've ever read. "Why Do Employers Provide Health Care in the First Place?" Some excerpts... https://t.co/q1DFnfXvzl”

Efficiency and tech advancement could be prioritized if we had a societal structure that didn’t require people to work in order to obtain access to basic resources required to stay alive such as healthcare, housing, and food. We prioritize jobs bc we lack a social safety net. https://t.co/UjqxrC1LXE— Jen Bartel (@heyjenbartel) June 21, 2023

It’s clear to me that comics, and the arts in general, are broken industries. Art cannot exist easily under the systems that exist. Art grows in the cracks. What is plucked from the ground is mostly what is recognisable or guaranteed profitable.— adam (@Kumerish) June 11, 2023

#BlackRock is the sign of a sick economy. “[T]he world’s largest asset management company is revolutionizing finance by investing in capitalism itself.” https://t.co/hf3bEEpw7aHow are they doing this & why is it a problem? Let’s look at the airline industry as an example— Holly (@HollyBlomberg) December 4, 2020

What people don't realize is that this is the default state of housing in a market economy, and it's great for consumers. Turning aging homes into an investment vehicle by artificially constraining supply, the way it's done in the US and many other places, is extremely harmful. pic.twitter.com/J3sCihYJ0n— François Chollet (@fchollet) January 21, 2023

to save some nickels Hertz mindlessly reported 1000s of cars stolen a year and got dozens of people arrested and jailed. Their punishment is to settle a lawsuit, none of the Hertz execs responsible for ruining lives and getting people kidnapped and caged will see a day in prison https://t.co/jwlKu7dZcv— Adam H.
