"La prochaine crise n’est pas inévitable – elle sera le résultat de choix. Nos décideurs politiques peuvent décider de résister au lobby financier et renforcer les garde-fous, ou bien répéter les erreurs de 2008."

This is the outcome of the ongoing undermining of #EU institutions... And "we" are responsible for that ourselves. Because the EPP is always just doing stuff for the "people" as long as they are watched and if those things are trending...
So as long as interest in EU politics is small or EPP or even Groups like the ECR/PfE get more votes in elections, they will always do such things.

We Went to the Town Elon Musk Is Poisoning

Elon Musk’s massive xAI data center is poisoning Memphis. It's burning enough gas to power a small city, with no permits and no pollution controls.
Residents tell us they can’t breathe and they’re getting sicker.
There’s a direct line between state & federal govts abolishing consumer protections (aka #deregulation) and the rise of shonky operators leaving ordinary Aussies to hold the bag.
Who woulda thunk it?

Luxury tours off, money gone: ...
But Doug Burgum, #Trump’s #Interior secy, later posted that Hochul had signaled a “willingness to move forward on critical pipeline capacity.”
The Constitution #pipeline was designed to transport #gas >100 miles from northeast #Pennsylvania toward #Albany. The lesser-known & shorter Northeast Supply Enhancement project would run largely underwater, from #NewJersey toward #NYC.
Aww hell no
A #pipeline company is reviving plans to build TWO #NaturalGas pipelines into #NewYork, in a bet that the #Trump admin will be able to strong-arm #states into signing off on #energy projects.
#NY had blocked both pipelines over #environmental concerns. But Trump has made clear that he wants more #oil & #gas infrastructure, including in the Northeast, where pipelines had become so hard to build that companies had all but given up on them.

Barber shops in Massachusetts are no longer required to have a red-and-white barber pole.
All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses the conditions of his life. (Marx and Engels, talking about haircuts I think)
We're entering the golden age of getting scammed so much easier in another dark age for the consumer.
These pieces from the current issue of the American Prospect explains why and rightfully so.

Great introduction piece as well ont he matter.
#Trump #BigBeautifulBill is cutting funds to programs that all working class and retired people benefit from, especially to #MedicAid. Also giving big #corporations additional #tax breaks, #deregulation of barriers that reduce #corruption in #finance, #crypto and #health. All while using #immigrants as #scapegoats.
This is what #capitalism always reverts to. A new #GuildedAge.
The #WorkingClass #Proletariat need #Solidarity, #Socialism, a real #democracy.

The plans presented in the Commission’s Single Market Strategy communication on Wednesday will boost corporate power and limit the democratic space that national and local authorities need to protect people and the environment.

@halfbyte Europe should have its own #socialmedia , under the rules of the EU countries. My idea is rather the opposite of #deregulation of social media. #noextremism #noafd #nofarright #nopvv etc.
