"Sumner Redstone: book reveals media mogul’s ‘astonishing saga of sex, lies and betrayal’ - Now a new account of the career of media mogul Sumner Redstone, who died in 2020 at the age of 97, reveals just how awful, shocking and abusive that culture was at one of America’s biggest media empires.

It paints a fresh picture of a corporate culture that believed that so long as the stock went up, and complex C-suite power games were in play, there was no compelling reason to place checks on the appetites of those whose need for control spanned institutional and sexual power."

We can use similar strategies against #corporatePower using that photo mentioned above and words like, "Protect loved ones and yourself from #BigTech's invasive reach by switching to Fediverse using this simple 3-step process"

"1. Find a server you like (there's servers for X, Y, Z and even DFG. Host your own if you are good with computers),
2. Create a profile (you can 'lock' it so only people you trust can see your toots),
3. Have fun (with no dodgy algorithms filtering what gets seen)!

We humans have 80 million unwanted births per year. That's the real human tragedy. All this people are left toiling in awful jobs to support the child.

Extreme population growth is great for #corporatePower. More consumers. More desperate workers. Interested to know who planted the seed about blacks have more abortions.

Fertility in Australia, Europe and US is a good small number. Walk the streets and you see more people over 35 than under. A success story.

Hey #RupertMurdoch,

It looks like you might be worried about your job, in the #Facebbok age.

Remember that time when you hired those editors, who you told not to question #corporatePower because it might affect your #advertising revenue.

Remember #censoring and becoming less relevant to people.

Remember when people came to your editors with important #pressReleases about the #corruption of #democractic processes?

Seems not.

You are partly to blame for this mess we are mopping up for you.
