The amount of brainwashing needed to think the richest guy on earth owning Twitter, the second richest guy owning the Washington post, and the fifth richest guy owning Facebook and Instagram could possibly be a good thing is immense.
Or even to think it’s somehow not a bad thing. To think democracy exists, or can exist under conditions of such vast inequality and consolidated control of society by a few billionaires. It’s just not possible.
I’ve talked probably quite a few times now about how capitalism and democracy are inherently incompatible over the long run, but I think this example shows it as clearly in multiple ways as any theory.

Florida takes $51,000,000,000 more dollars from the federal government than it produces in taxes. That’s called a welfare state.
New York gives $22 billion more than it receives back. That’s called solvency.
Republican economic policy is flawed
Executives who oversee what is said in a public company’s financial statements could have bonus pay docked or reclaimed under a rule finalized in a 3-2 vote by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The rule, a long-delayed requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act, forces companies to adopt procedures to claw back pay if financial statements contain significant errors.
The metaverse, which by one estimate will multiply data usage 20-fold by 2032, is creating a unique set of privacy challenges, writes Sunil Senan, an executive at Infosys. “Privacy must be ensured by leveraging the power of technology while securing it through a strong regulatory framework incorporating best practices,” Senan notes.
