Wall Street has consolidated into 5 giant banks.
Airlines have merged from 12 carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
A handful of drug companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
Four giants control over 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Caring for others: the core of civilization.
This one is worth reading.

@bcollinsmn_tgot my experience with Strib comments is that they somehow allow some of the most vile comments but routinely exclude my very insightful critiques of DJ Tice.
@tony oh, I guess it’s not an air b n b. Still a good place to stop—Irondale.
@tony Friends in Irondale have an Air-B-N-B which is nice. Formers chefs at Hard Times. Worth checking out Irondale because there’s a massive urban park (old mines) with trails. They just got epic snow. Campground on Lake Superior North of there called Little Girl Point was nice in August.

Short rant.
Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.
Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.
It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.
Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.
Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.
Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.
End Rant.
@maxnesterak @tony was in Ontonagon last August and stumbled upon Amygdaloid St, Syl’s Cafe (pretty good Pasties) and Nonesuch Gallery and the Yonker guitars in the basement.

Three multibillionaires now own more wealth than the bottom half of America – 160 million Americans.
Don’t tell us we can’t afford a wealth tax on the super-rich.

28 U.S. Code § 455 requires that “any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”
If Thomas fails to recuse himself from Moore v Harper, he'll be breaking that law.

@ct_bergstrom we’ve had “murder crows” in our neighborhood the past couple of years. Watched one take out a bunny.

Question for those who say prosecuting a former president sets a dangerous precedent: Isn’t it more dangerous to set a precedent that a former president will never face accountability for breaking the law and inciting an insurrection?

shouldn't the headline be that Musk *refuses* to resign, despite promising to do so?

Please consider writing your hashtags in upper camelcase so screen readers have a chance at figuring them out.
#whyistayonmastodon sounds like an giant undecipherable mess of sounds.
#WhyIStayOnMastodon reads out "Why I Stay On Mastodon" 😄
(Reason #44 I stay here: my previous requests like this have been generally well-received, proving that most people are awesome.)
