Bravo to #Montana for putting a measure on the ballot to undo the local effects of #CitizensUnited. "The initiative would bypass Citizens United by redefining corporations and their rights under state law…It would also block anonymous donations." https://www.npr.org/2026/10/13/nx-s1-5991925/montana-ballot-measure-could-undo-ruling-on-corporate-spending-in-state-politics The article notes that #Hawaii passed a similar ballot measure, which is now tied up in the courts. But that's progress compared to not passing such a ballot measure. #Corporations #MoneyInPolitics #USLaw #USPol #USPolitics

Capitalism is cancer and corporations and billionaires are its tumours. And the most successful among us are those gainfully employed to tend to the largest tumours. Unless we fundamentally change this system, we can’t fix any of the existential threats facing us. Humanity has cancer and we’re celebrating tumour growth instead of taking immediate and decisive action to rid ourselves of the disease. #capitalism #cancer #corporations #tumours

#Corporations doing A/B testing on the users without informed #consent should be recognized as doing Dr Mengele kind of thing. #Google redirecting road traffic or Facebook experimenting with showing different kind of stuff, that's all nonconsensual human experimentation. Nazi shit.

As the AI infrastructure build-out continues to meet headwinds from concerned citizens, three states recently signed laws ending what had been the largely-standard practice of exempting data center operators from paying sales taxes. Tucked into a state budget passed on June 15th, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs touted that data centers located in the state would […] The post Tax Breaks for Data Centers Are Ending, With More States Revoking Them appeared first on Good News Network.

The world’s biggest ultra-processed food companies have filed scores of lawsuits challenging government policies that tackle junk diets, the Guardian can reveal. Ultra-processed food (UPF) is linked to harm in every major organ system of the human body and poses a seismic threat to global health. Worldwide consumption is rising and UPF now makes up as much as half the average diet in many countries, including the UK, the US and Australia. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jul/22/processed-food-firms-courts-obstruct-health-regulations #Health #UPF #Food #corporations

“AI didn't kill #programming. You killed programming decades ago by stripping it of all individuality and #curiosity to satisfy the whims of giant #corporations. You created #universities that taught only one #language and trained programmers to never think of programming as personal expression. You turned programming into a sterile #profession who's only purpose is making other people money. You even went so far as to hunt down and threaten anyone who dared to disagree with you. You threatened their jobs, their reputations, and their mental health over petty bullshit like an underscore in a variable name. You worked extremely hard to frame programming as only a profession that serves corporations, and made sure anyone who threatened the great corporations was shut down, ridiculed, humiliated, and fired. So everyone fell in line, made only projects for corporations, and talked only about how they could best serve corporations. Even when they tried to fight back against the corporate mindset they came up with a movement that's still about corporate efficiency. Congratulations bootlickers, you got what you wanted.” Don’t ever change Jed ☺️ #OpEd / #LCTHW / #JedAShaw

"The corporation a present-day instrument of destruction because of its compulsion to externalize any cost that an unwary or uncaring public will allow it to externalize. The notion that we can take and take and take and take, waste and waste, without consequences, is driving the biosphere to destruction.” — Ray Anderson #USPol #Corporations #CitizensUnited #SCOTUS #Laws #Congress #Socialism

If there exists #corporations in our modern world, with net value/revenue equal to, or higher than some #countries and #governments, what makes You #think that those corporations are not part of, and do not have #influence over governments, or don't cooperate with them ? We need to wake up and see, that consumerism and corporations go far above selling and buying, and that they are equally a part of how our countries function, and how we are being influenced in variety of ways. #foodforthought #bigcorp #countries #socialsciences #humansciences #anthropology #consumerism #modernworld #freedom #money #economy
