Eat a bag of dicks, Murdoch. You were central to making this happen.
Wow it’s almost like we should have regulated the economy so this sort of thing doesn’t happen.
Oh, wait.
If one extreme is bad then the other extreme is good right?
Regulation isn’t extreme, it’s setting basic rules everyone has to play by.
Capitalist propaganda making us think basic rules and regulations are extreme is absolutely extremist rhetoric tho.
What the hell are you talking about? They’ve been trying (and succeeding) to deregulate the stock market since the 1960’s. You’ve likely only experienced a deregulated market, so how do you even know what a regulated market it like? Also, we only had the barest minimum regulations to begin with…
Regulations keep markets viable, fair, and protective of the participants.
What’s the other extreme that you’re talking about?
Evidently regulating a company is an extreme measure?
Regulatory capture would be my obvious. When businesses use the regulatory body that is supposed to regulate them to destroy any competition by making it so onerous to follow the regulations that unless you set up your business before the regulations were put into place, you can’t hope to enter the market, and then abuse consumers and the environment.
🤮
Are you mentally challenged?
Yes, they are. How do I know? They prioritize lashing out at rEgUlaTiOnS
Congress can revoke his “emergency” powers to do this whenever they want. They won’t though, because most Americans are so out of touch that they don’t know that. The final destination of “I don’t do politics” being the dominant view.
The whole “I don’t do politics” angle makes me so angry. They’re getting mugged and saying, “I didn’t see a mugging”
My response to that is always the same:
“Oh, you don’t do/like politics? I get it.
But do you know who does? Your bank, your landlord, your boss, cops, judges, pretty much anyone with any amount of control over your life.”Being able to disengage from politics and even to consider that disengagement a virtue all the while living a prosperous and mostly safe life is a privilege that Americans have enjoyed. But the result of them steadfastly refusing to even think about who they want at the wheel has finally led to an utter lunatic driving. Theyre still sleepwalking, hoping they don’t need to engage. The shortest path out of this is acute economic pain.
Which has been the point. Politics touches virtually every aspect of life, so getting people to hate politics and disengage makes it that much easier for those with power to fuck everyone over.
If only there was a journalistic entity that could have looked into Trump before he was elected.
He’s gonna start calling them the “Woke Street Journal”, isn’t he?
Musk will buy it and fire everyone!
Aren’t these the same rat bastards that assisted him into office by trying to provide “both sides” coverage up until about a month before the election?
They’re owned by Rupert Murdoch, after all
That and the “businesses want certainty” narrative so they know they’ll get some tax cuts…while blowing up their economy, society, government, currency and hegemony.
Truly a golden goose moment that Kindergarteners know that those greedy corporate fucks will have to learn, again. The only problem is we have to suffer through their greed for it.
Donald “Pump and Dump” Trump
I agree I think someone should sue him right between the eyes.
I’ll do it if they pay my legal and security bills
Oh yeah? How about their owner gives it a try
Pump <–> dump
