I don't think people here realize that not holding on to is different from no longer processing the data for their own means... There's no doubt in my mind that Google just simply has no need to keep the old data around anymore once other processing like for ML models and ad targeting are completed

Surprised this brazenly says to vote no. Usually telling people how to vote is the line they dance around with all the negative "facts"

In the face of extreme climatic upheavals, California's bid to unveil corporate contributions to climate change is vehemently obstructed by big industries, reflecting the stark chasm between professed "net-zero commitments" and actual corporate accountability. The insidious dance of greenwashing, underpinned by millions in lobbying, is a stark reminder that true societal transformation demands more than hollow corporate rhetoric.

 

The recent interview with Quinn Slobodian, author of "Crack-Up Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of a World Without Democracy," delves into the evolution of libertarianism in both the U.S. and Europe. Highlighting ideologies that connect to racial segregation and even late apartheid South Africa, Slobodian discusses how these ideas often predict and may even contribute to economic catastrophes, yet offer solutions that benefit a select few. The conversation reveals a complex and often contradictory relationship between libertarian thought and modern capitalism.

The attempt by billionaire real estate moguls to overturn New York City's rent stabilization law is nothing but the ruling class wielding its power to exploit the many for the benefit of the few. This isn't just about rents in New York; it's a manifestation of the capitalist system where the rights of property owners are sacred, but the rights of those who need shelter are negotiable. It's a blatant class assault, a vivid example of how the rich and powerful manipulate the legal system, including the Supreme Court, to suppress the masses and perpetuate their own wealth and dominance.

The portrayal of "Bidenomics" as a success story serves as a classic illustration of how power structures manipulate economic indicators to project an image of prosperity, obscuring the underlying reality. While the figures may indicate growth and a decrease in unemployment, they are detached from the lived experiences of millions who continue to suffer from food insecurity and financial hardship. The discontinuation of essential aid programs reflects a broader systemic failure, where policies are shaped by elite interests at the expense of the vulnerable. It's a pattern we've seen repeatedly in the history of state-corporate management of the economy, where the welfare of the general population is subordinated to concentrated private power.
