To paraphrase @pluralistic, economics focuses on efficiency but that assumes the perspective of the business owner with no concern over who will buy their good/service. A better term is optimization and then we can ask whose interests are being optimized for? Talking about our economy in terms of the stock market is a big part of how the propaganda works. #capitalism

Just a reminder amidst all this noise and chaos…Meta, Google, Snap, and TikTok all purposefully designed their social media products to addict children and teens with no regard for known harms to their wellbeing, and how that mass youth addiction was core to the companies’ business models.

Landmark trial in California accusing #SocialMedia companies of consciously addicting children to their platforms to pad the bottom line. Profits over #PublicHealth and propriety. This, my friends, is predatory, exploitative #capitalism at its worst - and ‘woke’ European states are correct in limiting access, excluding children. After all, sabotaging child development with dopamine-fueled scrolling for profit and ‘views’ is disgusting behavior, worthy of strict #regulation.

I was just reminded of this very old Cracked listicle - which at the time was a joke but by now, if anything, is either too realistic or too generous to really work as satire...

The 1% has sapped $79T in wealth from the bottom 90% since 1975. In 2023 alone, $3.9 trillion was sapped from the bottom 90 percent which is enough to give every worker a $32,000 raise.

this is bullshit propaganda. #AIslop is never going to be a substitute to a good doctor; but the #EpsteinClass investing in the #AI #ponzi want to create an air of #eugenics inevitability.

don't believe the fascist hype.
