Mega Yachts and False Flags: Unmasking the Super Rich's Offshore Secrets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjpnObVhKpg&ab_channel=VICE
We’re on the high seas of the offshore world. Why are people – that is, rich people – throwing up flags for the wrong countries on their damn boats and how does this help them get richer and avoid rules (like, say, paying people and being held responsible for major ecological disasters)? How are countries capturing luxurious boats secretly owned by Russian oligarchs?

Super Apps Are Terrible for People—and Great for Companies
"Apps that offer to "do it all" will subject users to even more exploitation and surveillance, while large tech companies profit."

Super Apps Are Terrible for People—and Great for Companies
"Apps that offer to "do it all" will subject users to even more exploitation and surveillance, while large tech companies profit.
(...)
A super app would be even more concerned than existing platforms with keeping users within its walls in the name of surveillance and financialization. Creating a larger place for that sort of predation to occur, as well as a greater incentive for investors and firms to band together and deregulate industries in the name of greater profits, would be an unmitigated disaster for the public goods and services these apps claim to improve."

"#Britain is asset rich. National wealth – a mix of property, business, financial and state assets – stands at almost seven times the size of the #economy. That is double the level of the 1970s.
This has not come about as a result of investment and productivity growth. Instead, much of this private-wealth mountain is unearned – the product of windfall gains, resulting from state-driven asset #inflation, the mass sell-off of former public and commonly held assets (from land to industries) and the #exploitation of #corporate power. As philosopher and civil servant John Stuart Mill quipped during the #Industrial #Revolution, it’s “getting rich while asleep”.
This has widened the #wealth gap. The top tenth of Britons now holds nearly half of the #UK’s private wealth. The poorest half’s share, meanwhile, has never exceeded one-tenth.
As a former #US supreme court justice Louis Brandeis famously declared – a century ago – it was possible, in the US, to have either democracy or great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few – but not both.
Britain today badly fails Brandeis’s #democracy test. Yet, the Labour party’s leaders have no declared plans – at least, as yet – to close this gap."

Lays out why poverty persists in the face of rising spending on means-tested programs.
