@royaards now he is gutting the Washington Post, silencing as many journalists as possible. He has closed the Kyiv office for one 😢
@connynasch It's beyond sad. I did a cartoon last year when WP cartoonist Ann Telnaes decided to leave the sinking ship.

@royaards how is it sad?
as I understand it, it was a news website that did great work then sold the property to a bilionaire for shitloads of money whereupon people who dont use misinformation all stopped reading it.
nobody died or got hurt. I assume reporting staff who tried to switch careers from news to propaganda in order to stay on the payroll had a weird and unpleasant time of it but we each face normal change and choices in life, not exactly a big deal.

@royaards ah, do news websites carry sentimental value for some folks? if so, that could be the sad part that I'm missing.

@royaards There are other online shops. We don't have to support monopolists.

@royaards Yea Communism is SO much better, just look at the Bolsheviks, 6 million dead people when they distributed the farmers land to people who didn't know how to farm, or the pleasantries of the Chinese Cultural Revolution 1 or 2 million dead, I mean a million here, a million there, and Communism governments have been so popular historically, look at all the people who tried to escape from West Berlin into East Berlin, or today who try to escape from South Korea into North. -

@VeroniqueB99 Good job. I've not gotten anything from them for at least a year. It's definitely possible.

@VeroniqueB99 Most people prefer ease of use over peace of mind. "Amazon has everything so we get everything from Amazon."
Well, flock Jeff Bezos and his ilk. Not a cent from me any more.

@royaards it's a shame. The position that Amazon fills really just fell out of the technology. They adapted to become essentially the Sears Roebuck of their age. If Sears had been a little bit more on their toes it could have been them.
My dad had stories of Sears' abuses when they were King. What goes around comes around.
In either case, we have levers. We have labor and safety laws, federal, state and local. Whoever is King in whatever age must be policed by them.

I canceled my Amazon account in 2022, and haven't bought anything from them since.
Going to set up a rule on my LAN to block Amazon.com, FaceBook.com, X.com, etc.
Just give them no air, and no money!It would help to setup a site that provides alternatives to Amazon, a marketplace where you can buy stuff from non-Amazon sources, one that does not collect a hefty cut from both sides, nor promote needless consumerism.
Buying from FB ads has been very, very unreliable.

"Buying from FB ads" 😱 ... you're asking for it!
"Just give them no air, and no money!" we should try that with dumpf and magas....

What upsets me most about the billionaires from Walmart and Amazon is that their companies continue to make record profits while the salaries for many workers are so low that many of them need food stamps (SNAP) to survive.
I can't understand that a government allows companies to be profitable while not paying a living wage but requiring the government to pay money to the workers.

@falcennial @royaards I think that the sad part is that people lost their jobs, in a shit job market no less.

Quindi nel CSM vigerebbe un sistema para mafioso secondo Nordio? Essendo il CSM presieduto dal Presidente della Repubblica, questi sarebbe a capo di un sistema para mafioso?

@tante boosting for reach. Consider editing the post to add Gibraltar as a tag, might help reach more.

@cstross It's weird to me how the UK insists that its constituent parts are "countries" not provinces. Similar to how the USA insists its provinces are actually "states".
Otherwise, this whole situation is pretty similar for most countries. One big province where most of the people live, especially the rich people, that bullies everyone else: Ontario, Ile de France, CDMX, Tokyo. A rural province with a much smaller population that often feels bullied (often this is where you find separatist movements and/or anti-immigrant movements). And then there's the problem child that just doesn't fit in: Quebec, French Guiana, Norfolk Island, Puerto Rico, Xinjiang...
