He is old.
He is weird.
He is vulgar.
He is unwell.
He is violent.
He is hateful.
He is extreme.
He is confused.
He is disgusting.
He is controlled by billionaires.
He is controlled by foreign powers.

He is unfit to be President of the United States of America.

@heidilifeldman His continued public decline also tells us he doesn't have any trusted friends who can take him aside and stop him.

Corporations are not sentient entities. They are contracts. They do not "do" things. They do not make decisions. Executives do.

When corporate activity breaks a law or harms people, it means the executives decided to do that.

When a corporation has been fined for something, what you are witnessing is the executives being let off the hook for what they did. Perhaps the prosecutor/regulator wants to keep get big money from corporations after leaving government.

A friend shared this thought with me, and, to be honest, I find it a little depressing.

Hill I will always stand my ground on:
It is absolutely unreasonable & dangerous to forbid people from bringing their own water into a music venue (or anywhere else) unless you're providing free filtered water inside. Selling bottled water is not a substitute.

And don't even give me excuses about people putting vodka in their water bottle. People also bring pills & gummies or they pre-drink at home. Deal with that problem directly.

Don't run a fucking dehydration extortion scheme.

We won't survive another Trump presidency https://www.alternet.org/alternet-exclusives/surviving-trump/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@LilahTovMoon The only power that man has, as long as he is a private citizen, is the willingness of others to break the law on his behalf. That's it. Break that chain and he is no longer a threat.

What I really want from technology these days is passivity. Physical buttons, and PASSIVITY.

No guessing, no anticipating, no predicting.
No autofill, no autocorrect, no autodrive and PLEASE God no autoplay.

Just be inert until acted upon!

35 major corporations paid their execs MORE than what they paid in federal income taxes between 2018 and 2022.

Each of the companies generated billions of dollars in profit over the same period.

When I say the system is rigged for the rich, this is what I mean.
