The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

An Orban-era grift pattern steered state contracts to political allies, who inflated costs, with no competition, then stole unearned gains from the public This basic mechanism converts public money into private wealth and is the stock and trade of corrupt governments

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Alrighty then........ Daniel Kokotajlo is a former researcher in OpenAI’s governance division and one of the leading voices about A.I. safety. He estimates the odds of a globally catastrophic A.I. outcome are around 70 percent. He isn’t bothering to save for his retirement

‘The Mets have not forgotten’ – 25 years later, the team has kept its 9/11 promise
For all of the franchise’s misadventures, the Mets — led by ones who were there for that sad September in 2001 — get this right.

Texans: Make sure you are registered to vote. Being on the voter suspense list does not mean your voter registration has been purged. It simply means that local officials need an updated address before October 5th – the voter registration deadline in Texas.

Has America Crossed the Asshole Threshold?
Civilizations can carry a surprising number of parasites and live. But there’s a line — Rome crossed it, the Gilded Age toed it, and for the first time in history, we can measure it.
