Rachel #Maddow tonight did a brilliant job covering #ElonMusk’s compromised direct engagement in the #Russia #Ukraine war.
She characterized #Musk as just another Russian #FSB #hitman carrying out #Putin’s orders.

#RonanFarrow was her guest, in addition to Musk’s ideological alignments w/Russia, he highlighted Musk’s #financial #ConflictOfInterests.
Half of #Teslas are made in #China. China has backed Russia. China explicitly expressed displeasure w/Musk providing #Starlink service to Ukraine.

Wow.
"The FCAC's 2020-21 COVID-19 #Financial Well-being Survey showed that approximately 2 per cent of #Canadians used an online non-bank lender or #PaydayLoan company in the previous 12 months."

Payday loans are crazy #expensive, often close to 60% p.a. (sixty!) if you include the fees. Charging above 60% is #criminal #usury in #Canada. However, loans of up to $1500 are exempt, so the typical payday loan #lender could charge even more.

They insist that #capitalism is the best #system because personal #financial gain is the best motive for hard #work and productivity.

They then refuse to hire #anyone who only cares about personal financial gain.

But if they were #logically consistent, they'd consider #employees who are only there for the paycheck to be the best employees.

It's almost as if they know that #people with a #capitalist mindset destroy #everything they touch.

#AlternateReality:

Imagine there's some shift in the #internet #markets, such that #servers #Mastodon and other #Fediverse programs cannot afford to keep going without mandatory #financial #contributions from their users. (I don't think this will ever happen, it's just a #hypothetical)

What is the maximum amount of #money you would be willing to #pay / #donate to keep your #server / #instance running?

What #content would you most want to keep interacting with? #Friends, #art, #science, #news, #politics, #AI, #tech, #VideoGames, #streaming, #LGBTQ, #furry, or something else? What cause would most entice you? #OpenSource, #NonProfit, #Democracy, #Freedom, or just non-#toxic #SocialMedia?

Please respond to and #boost this #poll, and let me know your thoughts in the #replies! (Sorry for #hashtag #spam, trying to maximize #reach for #diversity and volume of #responses)

We know #officers who have incurred significant unforeseen #expenses & are facing genuine #financial stress because they have had to relocate their #families or unexpectedly maintain 2 residences.

#Military spouses who have worked to build #careers of their own are unable to look for #jobs because they don’t know when or if they will move. #Children haven’t known where they will go to #school, which is particularly hard given how frequently military children change schools already.

The American #bourgeoisie ， especially the #financial crocodiles who have grown rich on the exploitation of finance and the poverty of the proletarians, have always ignored the poverty of the proletarians at home.
They think they are the most powerful class representing #America in the 21st century, but they are ashamed to expose this sore spot in America.

Hello there. So, I never thought I'd ever be using Mastodon for this and its a longshot but I'm looking for a paid job. I'm a senior in College and I'm going to be graduating with a degree in business management in May and I want to be ready. For my skills, I'm well-versed in Microsoft products, particularly Microsoft Excel and Microsoft word though Excel is my prefered application considering I wish to work with spreadsheets. Yes, I'm totally blind but that shouldn't be an issue because of #screenreaders and #ADA #accommodations and #RemoteWork. So, if anyone is looking for a dedicated person who genuinely enjoys helping others and working with functions from #statistics to #financial functions using #appliedMath, I am willing to work for you so help me #GetFediHired. Resume will be sent apon request through DM's. Thank you, and boosts are absolutely encouraged.

..."had been interested in the ideas of #web3 - the moniker adopted by #decentralized apps that use #blockchain technology and #cryptocurrency - but found its culture "aggressive"...attributed to the focus on #money... #crypto "brought out all the worst people"...it simply uses the wrong approach, promising people #decentralization and independence but tethering them to #speculative #financial incentives"...⤵️ https://www.wired.com/story/the-cloud-is-a-prison-can-the-local-first-software-movement-set-us-free/

#Economic crises come as regularly as the great plagues of the past, and they cause more misery and immorality than the great plagues ever did. For example, the #financial #crisis in 2008 caused a large number of people to lose their jobs and go #bankrupt and the overall #economic level of the world has not yet come out of the negative impact of the crisis.
