Diversity, equity, and inclusion get in the way of their nepotism and cronyism hiring. If they were hiring based on merit alone there would be no problem being transparent and publishing their hiring decisions.

Amazon, Walmart, and Target finally realize their colossal pricing mistake—now they’re slashing costs to win back customers
About two years too late for me to accept apologies on post pandemic price gouging, already cancelled prime and use local groceries over corpo stores. In general they have better quality of selection and prices most of the time, plus it encourages me to explore more variety of small groceries from other cultures, farmers markets, etc.
Similar with fast food if you want to charge me 16 bucks for a meal I'm going to an actual restaurant instead

Reddit power users balk at chance to participate in IPO as Wall Street debut nears
Reply in thread
Yeah I don't think mods and "power users" that stayed after last year are necessarily against reddit succeeding, just not willing to buy in at a 6.5bil valuation for a company that can't turn a profit and lost 90+ mil last year and 700+ cumulative. The CEO got 193 mil last year it's clear where their priorities are. And after the bad will they gained last year burning mods and third party apps it's not a big surprise many are watching with a big ol' bucket of popcorn.

Based on a completely superficial review there are three almost guaranteed ways to become unhinged; studying infinities, refactoring legacy code, and working with timezones.

Biden: what would Trump have done if the Capitol riots had been led by Black Americans?
No need to guess, just look at how Trump's confederates treat BLM protestors and their executioners: https://www.texastribune.org/2023/04/14/daniel-perry-racist-comments-texas-shooting-austin-protester/
Abbott made good on his promise and pardoned Perry last week for the murder a jury found him guilty of committing.

Trump and Vance face criminal charges over Springfield hoax
"There's nothing special about Trump and Vance that entitles them to get away with what they've done and are doing," the attorney added. "They think they're above the law. They're not."
Except for the Senate Republicans who would not hold their own accountable for crimes they committed or the federal supreme Court Justice feeding Trump's attorney legal advice to use in the lower courts. And the billions in PAC funds and trinket grifts used to campaign for politicians and appoint judges who are loyal to them above the Constitution and citizens. And anything Trump did as president is legal if he says it was part of the job. Except for those facts sure they're just like you or me in the eyes of the law.

Bernie Sanders says defeating oligarchy now most urgent issue
It seems to me he should continue to work with labor and student unions to organize a general strike for explicit, specific goals by a given deadline. The best tool the working class has to take power back from oligarchs is to coordinate stop working at the same time until demands are met, and it requires politicians and labor leaders like Sanders and Sean Fain to build and coordinate alliances across the workforce.

New retirement plan just dropped
General strike in the US seems like less of an impossibility year by year
Just restating some of the greatest hits:
Universal healthcare
Universal education through university level or trade school
At least a month pto annually
Parental leave for births
Guaranteed sick leave
32hr new full time threshold before overtime
Only public, equal funds for elections, no PACs/dark money/donations, no lobbyist bribes
Any elected official over a certain level cannot engage in trading of individual stocks or own businesses, dump it all in an index fund or hand off management to someone else they cannot contact without a mediator and recording, immediate expulsion & no longer able to hold office when found in violation
No billionaires/oligarchs, anyone with earnings and assets over a billion should be taxed at 100% and assets redistributed
Edit: May 1st 2028 looks like a good target thanks to the UAW https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/general-strike-2028-unions-labor-movement/

So he should take his own advice and get over it.

DOJ sends Musk PAC letter, warning that registered voter lottery is illegal
I hope if I ever get caught for breaking the law in front of the entire country I get a weakly worded warning letter from the DoJ and not arrested or bonded or any fucking legal action whatsoever
