  • It’s hard to overstate how much Amazon has changed the economy. It has quite possibly the longest and most consequential game of enshittification in play. It’s already taken over a giant chunk of the retail market and destroyed local businesses in ways Wal-Mart and their like could only dream of.

    It’s brought worker exploitation to Gilded Age levels. And there’s no doubt the ultimate goal is to create a monopoly over retail, so that they will later dictate prices. They’re already redirecting popular products to their own cheap, shittier versions in the searches they control. Their long term goal, like all tech companies that touch real world commerce, is to “disrupt” the system that worked for everyone before them, aka what’s left of competition in late stage capitalism, and replace it with monopoly.

    Bezos is a would-be feudalist lord of retail in a technofascist hellscape. Peter Thiel will handle the surveillance. And they’ll all ride out the apocalypse on wherever they relocated Epstein’s island.




  • Border security and immigration remains a top priority for President Donald Trump. But voters gave him poor marks on immigration according to a recent NBC News poll, after DHS surged federal agents into the heart of American cities

    Trump’s bread and butter has been virulent racism disguised as immigration reform all the way back to the beginning of his first run.

    If that issue is turning against him, the economic debacles he’s creating have no justification to a large part of his base.




  • Techbro feudalists are all in on AI. They promised it would replace the human workforce and got initial investments and repeated support from money that should have been smarter then that, but the allure of firing all their workers proved too strong.

    Now, they’re sitting on a trillion dollar house of cards. They’ll continue to fail upward. The correction will be delayed as they all move money between each other to cover bad investments.

    At least Dutch tulips provided actual value. They could be planted and grow to be something real. LLM “AI” was always a scam.





  • Trump and his administration opposed the previous strikes on oil facilities due to the images of fires and the resulting surge in prices. However, in the case of gas, this appears to be less of a concern, the Israeli official explained.

    It’s very telling that in a moment of crisis Trump and his circle of handlers are focused on optics and the short-term news cycle over what is actually happening.

    They think if they can spin a few press cycles, no one will notice the war they started during peace negotiations.

    Can’t help but think they believe some massive press event is going to distract everyone’s attention. Again.
