Damn, I'd forgotten Kissinger helped Dow Chemical evade any meaningful consequences for the Bhopal chemical massacre.

@mekkaokereke The simpler explanation to me is that the media and institutions aren’t being fooled here, they’re just being handed a convenient excuse.

@itnewsbot In light of that cheery conclusion, it's worth emphasizing that, to date, we have a grand total of zero (0) evidence-based treatments for Long COVID. We also have _essentially_ no cures for the autoimmune diseases that are often triggered by COVID infection, though many can be managed. The accumulating body of evidence on heart, brain, and immune system damage caused by COVID infection is also worrisome.

@Wolven Cuffing white professors - a department chair! - is definitely an escalation.

@Wolven This is of a piece with Amazon discovering that using ML trained on its past hiring decisions to rank applications resulted in measurable penalties for those from women.Bias in, bias out.

@Wolven Among the most inspirational stories ever told, in that it recognizes and, perhaps, appreciates our wretched human imperfections while acknowledging and celebrating the possibility that we can choose to become better.And that all things must come to an end.

@Wolven @baldur Literally 75% are CEOs. And this is under a president who folk like to say - with admittedly some justification - is the most pro-labor in recent history!

@jeffcliff Do not, I repeat, do not ever give me or anyone a command like this ever again. This is your only warning.

@futurebird I continue to believe that if toilet hygiene were a new discovery, there'd be a significant cohort defiantly smearing their poop over every available public surface.

@ChrisWere @SwiftOnSecurity To the best of my knowledge, whenever that’s been honestly studied, the difference in turnout observed in the poorest communities boils down to a. disenfranchisement due to legal sanction, immigration status, difficulty keeping registration current esp. with the ever excluding rules, and some literal access to poll sites. I guess I don’t read the OP as chiding folk being discouraged or prevented from participating so much as those that are making a negative choice.

@futurebird Hell, the violent home invasion of a former House speaker was like a 12-hour story.

@lashman @fulanigirl I love the promises of what they won’t do. That’s our look ahead to what they’ll be doing in 5-10 years, if they last that long.

I am low-key obsessed with video reports like this: https://social.marxist.network/@yogthos/114388490650137360 and others on Rednote particularly.Yes, these may be a little unrepresentative, showing how the system functions in big cities for privileged populations, I really can’t say. But it is fair to observe that *nobody* in the US outside an *extraordinarily* privileged elite has interactions with the health care system this functional and responsive - without even getting into the cost!

You can kind of see the same thing with public transit, particularly the high-speed trains, but other public amenities as well. Even granting that the experiences on display are curated and may only pertain to an upper echelon of Chinese cities - there’s *nowhere* in the United States that provides *anything* comparable.

@futurebird It’s a bid by the tech oligarchy to legally crush or suborn any new competitors, backed by the surveillance sector actors who’ve invested a ton in making their user populations easily observable at scale.
