Yeah, that only worked on small contractors when he was building his casinos because they didn’t have the infinite Russian money for lawyers.

Turns out that doesn’t work so well on sovereign nations and international corporations.

If we’ve learned anything from cyberpunk, this is always the endgame for corporations. The more technologically advanced they become, the easier it is for them to subjugate the masses. Corporations are built for long-term control of assets long after their founders die.

What we should be currently figuring out is that once corporation become sufficiently wealthy and allowed to donate endless amounts of money to politicians, they become more powerful than the governments ability to control them.

You can thank the Supreme Court for ruling that is sitting president can do whatever the fuck he wants for four years unless he pisses off Congress so bad that they impeach him, Which isn’t enough because the Senate also has to want to remove him.

So I guess you become president, do whatever you want for four years, make a whole bunch of money By stealing it from the American taxpayers convincing half of them that it’s OK to steal from their opposition, wipe your ass with constitution, and then die before you can be held accountable while passing off all the grift to your nepo-children and vapid family.

And water is wet.

**Translation:**The law is whatever you pay me to make the law.

Not really a surprise. The rise of social media, the lack of third spaces, and the high cost of everything are all factors leading to this statistic.

Tell me where in the suburbs people are supposed to hang out without having to pay to be there? How are young people supposed to afford any sort of entertainment for like a concert or movie when the prices are all jacked up? If you can’t afford your rent you’re not gonna leave the house to go spend more money. You’re gonna sit your fat ass on the phone and be alone on Instagram and the rest of the Internet cesspool.

Larry Ellison, founder of the software firm Oracle, is the second-richest billionaire in both the US and the world, and for a brief moment was No. 1 in the world. But for a long time, unlike many of his peers, he was unable to boast that he controlled a chunk of the news and opinion reaching the American public.

Boo hoo. Cry me a fucking River you privileged fuck.

Interesting.

I wonder if soybeans can be turned into ethanol.

The solution for this seems to be legalization, regulation, and testing. In this way you disincentivize buying from the black market and making it less accessible to those not of legal age.

Have the day you voted for.

Good luck serving your corporate overlords when they buy your farm for pennies on the dollar and hire you for minimum wage.

Honestly that would be an upgrade at this point.
