Small- & medium-sized farms were already struggling amid worsening #climate shocks & volatile commodities #markets, on top of being squeezed by large #corporations that dominate the #SupplyChain.
In recent weeks, #farmers in Texas & across the midwest have suffered millions of dollars of crop losses due to unprecedented heavy rainfall & #flooding.
@oceanhaiyang I only can link to documentation why you should use @monocles over @Tutanota & @protonprivacy because both refuse to elaborate or support #SelfCustody of #Keys!
Also Proton snitched on their users - as will every single provider cuz #corporations can't invoke the right to remain silent!
And you still think you can trust corporations?
Shocked Lyft rider gets mysterious text with a transcript of her convo | PCWorld
> A Toronto Lyft passenger was texted her entire conversation after she got out of the car. How and why it happened is currently under investigation.
#BernieSanders did. His party hung him out to dry on behalf of their corporate donor base.
It hasn't actually stopped him. Check out the No Oligarchs Tour crowds.
But I hear you. It's frustrating af that when a Dem gets elected & tries to do ANYTHING for the 99%, Corporate Media pulls out all the stops to squash it. When a corporate tool gets elected to give tax breaks away, where's all the 'How U Gonna Pay 4 That' 
??
It's almost like all the media are owned by #Corporations

“#PeterDutton says his office asked whether billionaire (Oligarch) #GinaRinehart's jet was available for event: #OppositionLeader Peter Dutton has admitted his own error after saying he had never requested access to billionaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart's #PrivateJet in his travels.”
Mr Dutton has previously #declared flights provided by #HancockProspecting, owned by Ms #Rinehart, but on Tuesday said "no" when asked if he had ever personally asked to be flown courtesy of the nation's #richest woman.

me - corporations are not fair.
users - true that.
me - U.S. corporations are not fair.
users - I'll just take this political, call you a communist and spread bad stories about you.
If you ever hear bad talk about us on mastodon, then this might be a reason. (our .social account got deleted for no reason and some pro-EU accounts ghost us, also no idea why)
If you want to double check on our opinion, please just ask us directly! We're pretty straight forward.
Speaker #MikeJohnson was able to put down a revolt on Thurs & push through that blueprint to deliver #Trump’s agenda of spending & tax cuts for #corporations & the #wealthy by promising #House conservatives that their colleagues in the #Senate would join them in cutting $1.5T in federal spending over the next decade.

The #House narrowly adopted the #Republican #budget blueprint for slashing taxes for the very #wealthy & #corporations & government #spending, overcoming the concerns of budget hard-liners who fear it will balloon the nation’s #debt. The vote was a victory for Speaker #MikeJohnson, who put down a rebellion from deficit hawks, & #Trump, who had stepped up pressure on reluctant #Republicans.

Is anyone there? Why patience is wearing thin as customer service becomes more automated.
So true and I'm beginning to dread having to call customer service of any company because they're all the same now. It's maddening. The recorded message over and over again, the awful music...
#DemocracyNow: “What About the Capitalists?”: Autoworkers in U.S., Mexico Call for Solidarity, Not Divisive Tariffs
Story April 08, 2025
"As workers brace for uncertainty and fallout from #Trump’s #tariffs, we hear from two #autoworkers, one in #Mexico and one in the United States. Israel Cervantes, founder of the National Independent Union for Workers in the Automotive Industry in Mexico, calls for unions across #NorthAmerica to unite against the tariffs, which have already led to layoffs from auto manufacturers. In the U.S., autoworker and UAW member Sean Crawford joins Democracy Now! on his work break to respond to the rhetoric and impact of the tariffs. 'They are always harping on foreigners, foreigners, foreigners. But what about the #capitalists? says Crawford, who urges international solidarity against #corporations’ attempts to sow division among #exploited #workers. “This nationalistic viewpoint has not been working for us and has resulted in a lot of these layoffs,' he says. 'I want to see us grow together as a #WorkingClass.'"

Growing up in #1990s #Philippines, I can't help but see some weird parallels here in #Australia today...
- Loss of individual liberty
- Widespread government #corruption
- Dumb and negligent #corporations
- Obsession with private school
- Prudish religious culture
- Public feel helpless to change
- #Authoritarianism by default
- #Wealth determines your #worth as a person
- Massive and growing wealth inequality
What happened here in #Oz? We used to be the lucky country.
Now we're just a #mess.
@GossiTheDog pretty shure #Apple's #Greedflation will not result in their #iPhone|s and other products to be sold #cheaper in the #EU, but instead they'll do #PriceGouging even harder!
Or does anyone expect Apple to stop #overcharging for their #AntiRepairDesign|ed products???
I have further expanded the https://www.maga-collaborators.net website.
It now tracks #colleges and #universities in addition to #law firms and other #corporations that are #collaborating, #capitulating, or #resisting the #Trump #regime.
Please share this link to help spread the word! I'll be adding to and upgrading this website regularly moving forward.
And please send tips to help fill in the gaps in the data to the email address listed on the website.
"If you don’t state what you care about, how are random employees supposed to guess whether the things they value about your culture are the result of hard work and careful planning, or simply…emergent properties? Even more importantly, how are they supposed to know if your failures and shortcomings are due to trying but failing or simply not giving a shit?"

I am being lazy, asking this.
But does anyone have one of those lists or maps of which products in Australia are actually American owned?
I've seen a few, but not for Australia. And the same brand is sometimes owned by different people in different markets.
