Any private ownership tends towards #monopoly, so media system cannot have private ownership without also accepting market share limitations. #Democracy requires people have access to #independent and #diverse media. Lose that and lose #democracy. More: https://buff.ly/3WtIecp

Shouldn't the lobby group be rather called "Allied for small companies we can buy to continue dominate the market"?

This post alleging extortion from CloudFlare¹ is plausible/cautionary. Market monopolies/tech mono-cultures suck so it's tempting to just be outraged at CF.

However, we allow this when we cede control to third parties (not just cloud) without mitigation plans, by NOT:

  • using open standards/formats
  • separating concerns
  • staffing expertise in-house/independent long-term partners
  • balancing risk with cost

Let's have that bigger talk!

You're welcome to come to Canada for free medical care but you'll need to hurry. Our wall is going up on Nov 5th. Maybe...Depends on who wins.

@Soupy51 a wall there sounds oddly plausible and honestly almost reasonable.

FTC Challenging JUNK PATENTS
by Big Pharma

PASS THE NEWS ON.
#thanksJoe

#Your Job is to TALK IT UP ‼️

#big Pharma #pricefixing #monopoly #legal #junkPatents
#asthmaInhalers #news #drugs #economy

On April 30, Fed Trade Commission (FTC) challenged more than 300 junk patent drug listings: diabetes, asthma, (COPD) and Ozempic.

Bogus patent listings prevent generic drugs to come to market, keeping prices high.

In Nov. the FTC successfully challenged junk patents on asthma inhalers, reducing their price to $35.

Wusstet ihr, dass zu (the winner takes it all), dem Kapitalismus-Brettspiel schlechthin, das auf die Idee einer linken Feministin zurück geht, von eben jener Feministin auch noch ein paralleles Spiel namens (ein gutes Leben für alle, bei dem alle gewinnen) entwickelt wurde - das aber niemand spielt, weil es halt so langweilig ist und die menschliche Gier nicht bedient? Aber das alles ist nur die Einleitung zu diesem sehr lesenswerten, für alle freigeschalteten -Artikel über Einwände gegen die klassischen Reaktanz-Argumente gegen mehr .

Amarcord di oggi: la classica edizione di Monopoli quadrata della Editrice Giochi (si chiamava ancora senza la Y finale 🙂 ).
Non so come abbia fatto ad arrivare fino ad oggi con me da quanto è frusta dal tempo e dal giocarci per terra in cortile da piccolo 😁
Ce l'ho dalle elementari, quando si giocava con le regole inventate, perchè guai a leggere le istruzioni, e non si capiva cos'era l'ipoteca, ma tutti a picchiarsi per avere il candelabro 🤭

Io ho la versione con scatola rossa, cassettini e segnalini di legno, apparteneva a mio padre.

@thegib @simonezanella dalla foto mi pare sia quella che avevo anch'io, non ricordavo il rebranding con la "Y" 😅
i segnalini erano di legno, pazzesco in un mondo attuale in cui tutti i giochi sono di plastica.
Anche noi usavamo regole auto-semplificate 😅

deepmud,

@br00t4c may I point out that Nelson Mandela spent a lot of time in prison. Can we make dump more like Nelson Mandela? Pleeeeeze!

Can't wait for him to start the Christ comparisons. It's inevitable. Will someone please tell the fat dolt that he won't survive being crucified? 🙄

I never realized that Nickelodeon’s old “foot” logo sometimes had four toes, and sometimes five.

Note to self.
When listing stuff for sale on #eBay I must remember they will take 14%. They'll also take 14% on the postage.
...and they'll pay no tax to the Australian Government

leanlearnlead,

Canada: Monopolies aren't great, we should encourage competition and regulation.
