“A monopoly is a market structure with a single seller or producer that assumes a dominant position in an industry or a sector. Monopolies are discouraged in free-market economies because they stifle competition, limit consumer substitutes, and thus, limit consumer choice.” ~investopedia

Nothing about needing to jack prices up. I’d say Amazon fits the description perfectly

Step-Mamala?

My apologies then… I misinterpreted your original comment… I’m pretty sure you’re correct that the Germans in general super support Israel… or at least what I’ve seen in the media or online makes it seem that way… But yeah, it could also be the government vs what the people really think kinda thing… Like in the US

I assume from context that you mean they support Palestine and are against Israel’s genocide… Which doesn’t make them Nazis… Actually kinda makes them not Nazis… Not sure how/why it’s possible that Israel turned into Nazis, but they did.

Correct me if I misread the context

I tried to run as well… Didn’t have any progressive groups around, but the state Dem party doesn’t help anyone except top of the ticket. They didn’t mind asking me to drop off flyers for their candidates though.

I’ve also tried to organize a union 3 times in 3 different jobs, and the problem there is just everyone not wanting to do anything extra if it’s in any way work related… Even if it’s to make their lives better… But I do get that the reason for that is mostly that they’re already overworked and underpaid, so they don’t feel like they have the time or energy.

Probably better than someone like Bernie would be. Only because the rich would pull their money out and crash the economy so they could blame it on him. Personally I’d call it economic terrorism and put them all in Guantanamo

Want to start something for real?

True

“senior Democrats” would rather Trump than a progressive. At least Trump is good for their stocks.

Wall Street= the economy… Duh

Is this backed by research? Assuming any if these things are true, are there any other/better/cheaper ways to get these same results?

He should be getting in front of a camera every day and saying “here’s what we’re trying to do. Here’s why it helps you/society. And here are the assholes standing in the way”. And if those assholes are Democrats, kick them out of the party and support a better candidate to run against them.

Also the fact they aren’t allowed to save up money. I think it’s like $2k saved up and they get cut off. That’s not even enough for first last and security deposit if they wanted to try and move to a better situation.

It is if you’re Trump or a maga

He would have been the leader of the Democratic party… And as such he could have made some serious changes to that party and who is allowed to be in it… Possibly even giving us an actual people’s party

You’re correct, pedophilia is a mental illness. A very tragic one since there is no hope and no cure. They can’t even ask for help because everyone will automatically assume they are also child molesters. Which is what you’re describing, but not all child molesters are pedophiles, and most pedophiles will never become child molesters… Like you said, some people just get off on exploiting the power dynamic and aren’t necessarily sexually attracted to children. Those people are the real danger.

Shaka, when the walls fell
