Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

It is an excellent book. I remember taking one thing from the book. It is essentially wrong to calculate the poverty lines & believe that they are real & that the poor people should "observe" them. Orwell shows how seemingly irrational behavior of splurging your money on the pay day is not irrational at all: it is the only way for a poor person to catch some glimpses of happiness and to feel human. Even if he starves afterwards.
Athenaeum Book Club@athenaeumbc

In 1928, George Orwell went to Paris because he wanted to see what it was like to be poor. He rented a cheap room, ran out of money faster than expected, and ended up washing dishes in hotel kitchens for twelve to fourteen hours a day. The work was brutal in a boring way. Hot steam, greasy plates, shouting chefs, no breaks. You stood until your legs stopped working. When the shift ended, there was just enough time to eat badly and sleep before doing it again. When he got sick, no one helped much. You missed a shift, you lost the job. Later, in England, he lived among tramps and slept in shelters because he had nowhere else to go. He kept notes the whole time… He turned the experience into Down and Out in Paris and London. The book shows what happens when life becomes logistical and dignity turns into something you can’t afford. That period stayed with him. Long after he became famous, his writing never forgot how fragile comfort is, or how fast a person can slide from being someone to being invisible.

Hi Scott, you may not remember me from my broadway performing days in NYC, but you’re being a complete lying asshole. So, here it is: Scott Jennings swings both ways. Not that I care, who gives a shit. But he’s lied about this since 2009 & there are at least 100 photos of him at fire island bars from back in the day. @adammocklerr ask him about this on CNN next time.

Last year, when I was in southern Lebanon, I found a man whose home was similarly used as a base by occupying Israeli military soldiers. When the soldiers were finished, they lit the house on fire, making the first floor entirely unlivable and spray painted Hebrew on the walls:

Pour rappel Peter Thiel (l'autre co-fondateur de Palantir) a grandi dans la ville de néo-nazie de Swakopmund en actuelle Namibie, à l'époque Sud-Ouest africain sous contrôle sud-africain. La ville était une enclave coloniale allemande où, dans les années 1970, on célébrait encore l’anniversaire d’Hitler, on vendait des souvenirs nazis dans les boutiques, et certains habitants se saluaient par « Heil Hitler ! » (New York Times, 1976). Les conditions pour les travailleurs noirs y étaient proches de l’esclavage (salaire de survie, exposition à la radioactivité, logements insalubres). Rien n’est connu sur les opinions politiques de son père. Zéro interview, zéro citation, zéro archive publique. Julie Lythcott-Haims (une de ses camarade de dortoir à Stanford) rapporte qu'elle l'aurait confronté dans sa chambre à propos de son opinion sur l'apartheid. Thiel aurait répondu, sans aucune émotion sur le visage, que « l’apartheid était un système économique sain qui fonctionnait efficacement, et que les questions morales étaient sans importance ». (Medium, 2016) Un autre camarade aurait confirmé un récit similaire. Thiel a nié que cette conversation ait eu lieu. Pensez-vous qu'il est normal qu'une entreprise dirigée par ces 2 individus hautement déséquilibrés soit aussi puissante ?

🤯 Palantir publie son manifeste... et appelle au REARMEMENT de l'Allemagne et du Japon ainsi qu'au dénigrement des "cultures dysfonctionnelles et NUISIBLES" !! Point 6 Le service national devrait être un devoir universel. Nous devrions, en tant que société, sérieusement envisager de nous éloigner d'une force composée uniquement de volontaires et ne mener la prochaine guerre que si tout le monde partage le risque et le coût. Point 12 L'ère atomique se termine. Une ère de dissuasion, l'ère atomique, se termine, et une nouvelle ère de dissuasion construite sur l'I.A. est sur le point de commencer. Point 15 La neutralisation de l'Allemagne et du Japon d'après-guerre doit être annulée (!!!!) L'affaiblissement de l'Allemagne était une correction excessive pour laquelle l'Europe paie aujourd'hui un prix fort. Un engagement similaire et hautement théâtral envers le pacifisme japonais menacera également, s'il est maintenu, de modifier l'équilibre des puissances en Asie. Point 21 Certaines cultures ont produit des avancées vitales ; d'autres restent dysfonctionnelles et régressives. Toutes les cultures sont désormais égales. La critique et les jugements de valeur sont interdits. Pourtant, ce nouveau dogme passe sous silence le fait que certaines cultures et, en effet, certaines sous-cultures... ont produit des merveilles. D'autres se sont avérées médiocres, et pire encore, régressives et nuisibles. Globalement, le manifeste semble inspiré des écrits de Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug) et de son idéologie du "Dark Enlightenment" (les Lumières Sombres). Cet auteur rejette la démocratie, promeut la création d'un État-entreprise qui devra remplacer le gouvernement, et imagine que le pays devrait être géré par des PDG-monarques responsables devant des actionnaires qui seraient les détenteurs du capital de l'État.

@goldocarlao I find it beautiful that I can go to the quotes and replies and find people dogpiling them in Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, English, Turkish, Japanese, and Korean. The original revolutionaries may no longer be here, but people all over the world continue to despise landlords.

NEW: Trump's USDA wants to roll back safety rules for meat processing workers. The new rule would eliminate maximum line speeds in pork plants, risking worker and food safety. This comes after Pilgrim's Pride and other Big Ag companies donated millions to Trump's inauguration and ballroom.

it’s even worse than it sounds. this went on for two years, and ultimately they banned her from MSG for the crime of being trans in public (and potentially on broadcast television).
