This is interesting. A reminder of #History not even that long ago. Less than 80 years !!

Fight like hell to retain and extend equality and rights.

Time to change the incentives for companies.

Make sure these companies are required to consider the interests of ALL stakeholders instead of ONLY shareholders.

Stakeholders :
- Customers
- Suppliers
- Personnel
- Location based interests
- Shareholders
- Management

Stop shareholder primacy in business.

An interview with Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic)

About the issues in his new book ' Chokepoint Capitalism'.
He also calls for the un-rigging of labor markets.

Cory said a lot of interesting things in this interview.

Just something beautiful and mysterious to consider.
If you will a moment of contemplation.

The Unicorn Tapestries, traditionally known as “The Hunt of the Unicorn,” are widely considered to be among the greatest artworks in existence.

On permanent display at the Cloisters, the upper Manhattan home of the Met’s medieval art collection, the series is famously cryptic: Its origins and symbolism still baffle scholars.

@sj_zero @StephenRamirez

Thanks it is a difficult and multifaceted subject.
The wall of text is elucidating and well written.

Are there any remedies for when someone keeps going on and on ?
It is somewhat similar to stalking what he is doing here.

Trump can't let go of any slight to his ego.
I predict he will keep attacking E Jean Carroll in public as well as those in the judicial system.

@sj_zero @StephenRamirez

Well my expectation turned out to be correct
He's at it again..

Let's 'hang' Trump by his own despicable words.

@StephenRamirez

Imprisonment is the ONLY effective punishment against billionaires.
They have such an awful lot of money, that paying fines hardly hurts them.

@sj_zero @StephenRamirez

It would only apply to anybody having assets > XX million on the date of indictment.

I propose setting XX at 500.

An alternative could be setting fines as a percentage of assets.

@sj_zero @StephenRamirez

Not anymore this is about Trump's systemic and continuous defamation of E Jean Carroll.

. He was deemed guilty by a jury.
. He was ordered to pay a fine of 5 million.
. He goes on defaming and naming her.

5 million is chump change for a billionaire with $ 4,300 million.

Now if he had to pay 10% of his assets or sit in jail for 12 months that would hurt.

In the same vein as Alex Jones systemic and continuous lies concerning the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Excluding candidates from the ballot.

All 50 states and the District of Columbia have excluded candidates who do not meet requirements to appear on the ballot, and excluding Trump and other disqualified insurrectionists can be done through the same mechanisms.

Defending our democracy requires preventing insurrectionists from holding office.

The U.S. Constitution offers a clear pathway for accountability.
