I missed this great news earlier this week. Monopolies are bad and now groceries won’t be further consolidated.

Sigh of relief.

It’s not your imagination: frozen potato prices have skyrocketed (and farmers aren’t the beneficiaries)

Enter a four-conglomerate “cartel”

#Historical #UnionSolidarity #Art.
“The Hand That Will Rule the World” by Ralph Chaplin. June 30, 1917.

The symbol of the clinched fist has been a symbol of #solidarity as early as 1917. “The Hand That Will Rule the World” by Ralph Chaplin is an illustration referring to the #IWW (Industrial Workers of The World). Industrial unionism began when skilled workers were displaced by modern machinery and the #monopolization of industries. It was a union that believed industries should be controlled by the workers, benefiting the many instead of enriching the few, and create better working conditions.

In this image, the workers are uniting their arms and creating one giant fist, which represents solidarity and #unity, while holding tools, representing manual labor, while factories in the backdrop symbolize the machinery displacing the workers.

#WorkerUnions #Unionism #TradeUnionHistory #UnionStrong

The image features a massive raised fist emerging from the ground, signifying power and solidarity. Below, a diverse group of laborers marches forward, holding tools and displaying determination. Smoke rises from factories in the background, suggesting an industrial setting. The caption reads, "The Hand That Will Rule the World—One Big Union," emphasizing the theme of collective strength in labor movements.

Nothing to see here, just another underhanded #Conservative #powergrab obtained through secretive consolidation of right wing parties.

These #corrupt #cons seek to further divide and polarize all of #Canada through their “unite to collectively hate” campaign, while the center and left rip up agreements and quarrel amongst themselves like stranded toddlers fighting for a Conch shell.

Honestly, this power steal feels like something taken right out of a #Russian playbook.

These #unethical #Conservatives realized they could only obtain power by taking out competing parties and stealing their votes.

#Disgraceful and #undemocratic. If this is considered acceptable behaviour, Canadian #democracy is broken and we’re all downright fucked.

Logitech pulled their "subscription mouse" idea (for now) after major backlash, although this is only going to be a PR move so it can die down and quietly re-introduce it at a later date because, of course. techdirt.com/2024/08/12/logite

Not surprisingly, a monopolist in the computer accessories market (Logitech) has touted the HP method in going all in on mice subscriptions aka mice DRM.

Let's Be Blunt: Ninety Percent of American #CEO's making rapacious salaries have #Zero skills for globally competitive marketplaces. In the absence of #Mergers, #Monopolization, #StockBuybacks and finally #PrivateEquity they are frauds and chumps living in their parents basements

@ahriboy @tagesschau @Dexruus @jesterchen Granted, lack of regulatory action allowed companies like Adobe and espechally Autodesk to de-facto monopolize several software fields and discontinue One-Time Purchase options.

Yes, I still hate myself for not having bought the €125 perpetual non-commercial hobbyist license for #Eagle when #CadSoft was still around...

But regulators like @EU_Commission & @kartellamt@social.bund.de don't seem to grasp the serious of these #monopolization efforts...

The Secret Trial --
#Google tried to withhold practically every critical detail from the public in its #monopolization case.
A band of #advocates and #journalists fought back.
