... and also ban pay rises for the execs etc. etc.
When I think about it
For example:
If you're a water company and have been fined you can't issue ANY dividends until the problems are fixed to the satisfaction of a panel of inspectors. Unless you meet your obligations in full no dividends.
That would stop the vultures in their tracks.
More something to campaign on at the moment I think.

@passenger @ChrisMayLA6 equity fines. Confiscation of dividends. Holding directors personally responsible. There are ways.

The #Tories have been caught trying to ensure that the UK's #climatechange reposes is potentially hobbled....
They know they're heading into (potential) electoral oblivion & want to ensure their toxic climate denial can be actioned via other means.
Luckily the devolved leaders spotted what they were doing.

Yasmine Ahmed, (Human Rights Watch) on #RishiSunak joining a #farmers demo. while complaining of 'mob rule':
'The idea that politicians are celebrating one set of protesters while cracking down on others is chilling. A country that only allows you to demonstrate on issues it agrees with is the very definition of authoritarian. For a government that prides itself as a defender of free speech, it seems this defence is conditional on you agreeing with the government'

Anything that the Australian, UK or US government wants that is available for purchase or fund in its own currency THEY CAN AFFORD to purchase
Anything that is available for them to purchase that they do not purchase or fund is because THEY DO NOT WANT IT.
National Health etc.
Jesus Christ, why can't the Tories leave disabled and long-term sick people alone? Haven't they killed enough of them already?
Don't forget, while all this bollocks about Islam is being pushed. The jihadists used to be the Tories' best friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arPP37g1Rmo
My worry is losing all the follows and followers, not to bothered about messages as such as they are ephemeral anyway.
My server ran out of disk space because the jobs that keep it tidy didn't run

Capitalism cannot bring justice, capitalism is the quintessence of injustice. We must free ourselves of our addiction to it before it kills us.

Remember that any one of these billionaires could solve San Francisco’s homelessness crisis overnight, yet instead they spend their money vilifying the poor and attacking those of us who are trying to house people

Christ alive. There's a fediverse-to-bluesky bridge set to activate soon and the service is opt *out*. That means all your content (public, listed only if the creator is to be believed) will be automatically ported over to a commercial social media platform without your express consent.
According to the creator, you can opt out by adding "#nobridge" to your bio or domain block "bsky.brid.gy".
Maybe think about telling this person what you think about their opt out strategy.

The long-run goal is, I think, the same for every human being, that politically he or she may be allowed to live free from fear, insecurity, terror, and oppression, free also from the possibility of exercising unequal or unjust domination over others.
You cannot continue to victimize someone else just because you yourself were a victim once— there has to be a limit. #EdwardSaid
Good Morning to everyone except those who continue to defend/endorse genocidal assault in #Gaza
