#Trump Is Planning Lavish Military Parade on His 79th Birthday as Economists Warn of #Recession

Trump's previous attempt to organize a grand parade in 2018 was called off due to its $92 MILLION price tag

I started getting back into camping a few years ago. It's quite a racket these days. This piece goes deep on why: https://morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/reservation-gods-who-stole-our-campsitesand #camping #greed #capitalism

There is now a rich capitalists compound protected by moot in Death by Scrolling. They have a ranged weapon call "greed" that takes gold from you. If you manage to kill them they drop 1000 gold bags.

So far, her arguments do reflect Trump's actions quite well. He's not demanding anything from Putin but he puts much pressure on #Selensky.

So yes, this deal would make him even more rich at the cost of much human sacrifice.

And this is even independent from the question whether or not Tump is a Russian spy with the name #Krasnov which is not confirmed yet: https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/03/13/fact-checking-online-claims-that-donald-trump-was-recruited-by-the-kgb-as-krasnov

Well, you can try to protect yourself from Trump's malice by kissing his arse. But you can't escape his selfishness and incompetence, he might kill you unintentionally, just by accident.

How to scare away your customers, exhibit 4821: #Broadcom #VMware:

"VMware distributor Arrow says minimum software subs set to jump from 16 to 72 cores.
Claims Broadcom will levy 20 percent #penalty for customers who don’t pay before renewal deadlines"

I don't know you, but if I were a customer for that product, I'd most probably start migration projects today.

#Trump has White House studying cost of #Greenland takeover

The WH is preparing an estimate of what it would cost the federal govt to control Greenland as a territory, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the matter, the most concrete effort yet to turn Trump’s [#delusional, unsolicited & unwelcome] desire to acquire the Danish island into actionable #policy.

Josh Marshall: "What a ridiculous small man Elon Musk is. His approval outside the Republican Party is plummeting. He ransacked social security, illegally shutdown whole departments, grabbed people's personal data, violated the constitution, and he’s shocked people are upset."

@AkaSci

Once again, we do not have an #abundance problem, we have a #greed problem.

As a tax payer in the #USA I sincerely believe we will find peace and security far sooner by funding #vaccines than the #Israeli #warmachine.

Well...we will never find it the latter way but you all know what I meant.

Take Action!

Perhaps today is a good day to remind everyone...

This is our world, it is where our families live, it is where we make our communities, it is where we love our families, it is where we speak our truth, it is where we have our future... it is not someone's to take, bend and destroy.

When the greed becomes automatist, something like this happens here:

A pretty good overview of the significance of Amazon's #greed and #fuckery. Part of it is the usual by now #AI bullshit.

The winner of today's worst clickbait headline is from CNN.

"With the CFPB weakened, could risky lending make a comeback?"

People ask the stoopidest questions. Yes they will make a comeback 100 percent because #greed is destroying our country. They cannot help themselves. Gaining more wealth is an addiction. And with the guardrails removed, lookout people, the predators are going to try and rip you off any chance they can if it makes them a buck.
