lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada’s Richest 1% Nearly As Wealthy As Poorest 80%1·23 days agoI suppose there isn’t much.
Dividends are free cash that the company distributes to shareholders whereas it ought to reward the workers imo. I see it as peak siphoning profit away from the working class to the “ruling” class (who don’t contribute anything).
Capital gains and the whole stock market are bad too. As is our tired, biased tax code.
Jesus… a lot to fix.
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada’s Richest 1% Nearly As Wealthy As Poorest 80%2·24 days agoLol, too true 😁
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada’s Richest 1% Nearly As Wealthy As Poorest 80%6·24 days agoYes, but it includes the whole population rather than a narrow sub-section. It would also send a much stronger message.
See what happens when CEOs and politicians need to wipe their own asses.
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada’s Richest 1% Nearly As Wealthy As Poorest 80%16·24 days ago…so let people die, stop caring for our neighbours, allow ignorance and illiteracy to fester. Seems extreme and misplaced.
A better, less-nihilistic approach might be: stop buying things, cancel subscriptions, sell dividend-paying stocks, etc. Or even better: a general strike.
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Trump claims he has ‘absolute right’ to impose new tariffs after supreme court blow6·24 days ago“L’état, c’est moi”.
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada’s Richest 1% Nearly As Wealthy As Poorest 80%18·24 days agoHow are you (OP) blaming the “middle” class? What could you suggest nurses, teachers, fire fighters, etc do to solve the problem of wealth inequality?
I genuinely want to know because it seems to me that we control nothing and have no excess to give.
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto news@lemmings.world•Trump demands death penalty charges over media’s coverage of Iran War in mid-Oscars rantEnglish11·24 days ago“… should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!” Trump wrote.”
There he goes throwing stones from his glass palace, again.
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•‘Our coverage is not truthful’: How Israel is censoring reporting on the warEnglish5·24 days agoI agree. Consider this situation:
“In one case known to +972 Magazine, an Iranian missile hit its target while fragments struck a nearby educational facility. Yet the media was only allowed to report on the latter, without being able to even mention the former or inspect the damage.”
This results in inaccurate reporting. The facts are distorted to make it seem that a school was the intended target, when in fact it was not.
IMO, the balance is lost to censorship.

lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Barron Trump barred from military service as Iran war sparks outrage11·1 month agoTrue re: Don the Con but…
Clerk, logistics, cook, etc.
There’s a tonne of jobs he could do while being tall. While it may be a legitimate reason for not serving, it seems frivolous (especially considering the context).
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Key Witness Who Disputed ICE Account of Fatal Texas Shooting Dies in Car Accident52·2 months ago“The Department of Homeland Security described the shooting as an act of self-defense, saying the agent had “fired defensive shots to protect himself, his fellow agents and the general public” after the driver “ran over” a Homeland Security Investigation special agent.”
Sounds like the exact, false, justification given for Renée Good’s murder.
Gov lies until presented with proof (and sometimes they still maintain the lie). No credibility anymore.
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Judge says Pete Hegseth is unlawfully retaliating against Sen. Mark Kelly over ‘illegal orders’ video12·2 months ago“…[Kelly] urging service members not to obey unlawful orders that could be issued by the Trump administration.”
Justice dept. interpretation:
“When viewed in totality, your pattern of conduct demonstrates specific intent to counsel servicemembers to refuse lawful orders.”
Jfc. 🤡
Particularly if the public is non-white.
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Dutch authorities allegedly seize VPN server without a warrant — company claims that law enforcement will return it after analyzing the device fullyEnglish23·2 months agoAn important distinction lol
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto stupidpol@sh.itjust.works•Majority (53%) Of Voters Think Fatal Shooting Of Minneapolis Woman By ICE Agent Was Not Justified (35% Justified, 12% no opinion)11·3 months ago35% justified. It seems like there’s always a third that support this vile leader. No matter what, maga loves him.
lesinge@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Woman killed by ICE agent in Minneapolis was a mother of 3, poet and new to the city41·3 months agoTires. But obviously not his intent.
Lol do it. Military force against the Vatican will be well received on the international stage, no doubt. Really shore up the support of MAGA catholics too.
