The capitalist system doesn’t function without it’s workers, and the corporations don’t want anything disrupting their bottom line, including covid mitigations, which is why you see Right Wing nutjobs telling everyone that COVID is over, and there was nothing to fear in the first place, while in the span of 12 months over One Million Americans died. Corporations, aided by the Right Wing bigots, don’t want COVID air detectors anywhere, as they would invariably detect COVID. Reminds me of that movie where the king said to save arrows, and send in the infantry, because arrows cost money, and people cost nothing.

downpunxx@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Zelenskyy blasts ‘absurd’ draft text that hedges on Ukraine’s NATO membership timelineEnglish93·2 years agoHe’s pushing, that’s his job to do, and he’s doing it. NATO is trying to stop a world war, and Ukraine, unfortunately happens to be caught in the middle right now, and that’s NATO’s job to do, and their doing it. This is terrible for Ukraine, of course, but the rest of the world is ok with it being terrible for Ukraine at the moment, unless it spills over, then all bets are off. Ukraine just has to hope all the weaponry is enough to get Russia to relent, but I think Russia is pretty much all in at this point and won’t.

If the thing is cancerous, then it’s cancerous, now you know, don’t keep printing stories saying “a little poison is fine, if you watch it” lol

downpunxx@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How Twitter lost its place as the global town squareEnglish313·2 years agoTwitter didn’t lose anything, Musk bought Twitter because he thought it’d be a goof to trash, and because he wanted access to Saudi Arabian markets to sell his electric cars and rocket ships.
These stories are so fucking annoying because they purposely miss the point of what’s actually happened.
Elon Musk personal worth went up 97 Billion dollars since he bought Twitter, he’s now worth, on paper 248 Billion. He can take a complete loss on the investment, and not be any the poorer in real terms.
