"#DOGE wants businesses to run #US #government services ‘as much as possible’"

#MailDelivery

#Musk is going to have First Class Parcel Post (if not all mail) taken over by #Amazon and #JeffBezos

OK: don't know about urban ZIP codes, but in the rural (10K residents) ZIP code I live in, the #USPS is already doing last mile delivery for #AmazonPrime

An Amazon truck drops off Amazon Prime parcels at the PO back door and the parcels are carted inside and sorted into delivery routes carried out by USPS drivers

Big problem is, most USPS drivers will not leave their trucks to deliver to front doors - all Prime parcels are dropped atop the street-side mail box stands

But I don't have street mail delivery so I have to get into my car, drive to the Post Office, park, wait in line to get up to the counter, only to be handed a Prime order that UPS would have dropped on my doormat two days earlier

The floodgates are open for #corporations to push forward with deep-sea mining projects. The potential for widespread environmental destruction is overwhelming, and it’s happening now.

💥 What can you do?💥

Share this information, spread the word so more people understand what’s at stake!

Support policies and organizations pushing for tighter international regulations on deep-sea mining.

Photo of a high-tech machine plowing the ground of the ocean The US is not a member of the United Nations' International Seabed Authority (ISA), the global body that regulates deep-sea mining in international waters. Companies typically cannot mine the seabed beyond national jurisdictions without ISA approval. But here's the key: TMC is trying to bypass this system by applying for permits under an old US mining law, even though the seabed they want to mine is far outside US territory.

"The court’s #liberal members... were unpersuaded by Kennedy’s reasoning... criticized the #conservative majority for its dangerous nonchalance toward the corrosive effects of #corruption...

Stevens’s dissent... carries even greater weight w/the benefit of hindsight. He described Kennedy’s majority opinion as “a rejection of the common sense of the #American people, who have recognized a need to prevent #corporations from undermining self-government"

Text from article(edited for length): Musk is not technically a corporation, of course, and the legal mechanisms that he used to influence the 2024 election would come from follow-up rulings after Citizens United. But its civic reasoning still holds true for the present crisis. Stevens... warned that corporate interests did not operate like normal political actors. “Corporations, as a class, tend to be ... more directly affected by tax and appropriations measures that receive little public scrutiny; they also have vastly more money with which to try to buy access and votes,” he explained. ...“Business corporations must engage the political process in instrumental terms if they are to maximize shareholder value,” Steven wrote. “The unparalleled resources, professional lobbyists, and single-minded focus they bring to this effort, I believed, make quid pro quo corruption and its appearance inherently more likely when they (or their conduits or trade groups) spend unrestricted sums on elections.” Stevens’s dissent was praised at the time, but it carries even greater weight with the benefit of hindsight. He described Kennedy’s majority opinion as “a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self-government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt.”

#CriminalizingDissent: #Greenpeace Ordered to Pay $667M to #DakotaAccessPipeline Firm over #Protests

#DemocracyNow, March 20, 2025

"A jury in #NorthDakota has ordered Greenpeace to pay more than $660 million in damages for defaming #EnergyTransferPartners, the corporation behind the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Texas-based pipeline company accused Greenpeace of orchestrating criminal behavior by training and providing funds to the #Indigenous-led protests at #StandingRock. Greenpeace and its supporters, including other #nonprofits and #advocacy groups, argued that the lawsuit is part of a conspicuous attempt by #corporations to destroy the right to #FreeSpeech. Longtime #HumanRights and #environmental lawyer #StevenDonziger, who was part of the independent trial monitoring team observing the trial, says it was purposely held in a region of the country with deep ties to the #FossilFuel industry. Donziger said most of the jurors in the case were connected to the industry and were 'predisposed' to rule in favor of Energy Transfer despite the 'false narratives' presented at the trial. Greenpeace plans to appeal the ruling."

#Tesla is a perfect example of what happens when you get people who think they know #technology and #engineering but don't really care about public #safety and don't know anything about building cars safely and responsibly to build cars and sell them to people with too much money and too little intelligence and wisdom.

There is a very good reason why large #corporations tend to be very conservative. It's a learned response to having made mistakes with people's lives.

"In the #tech bro world #ElonMusk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky #government coming in to protect people's #safety, autonomy or civil #rights. As Duran explained in his newsletter, "These cities will be controlled entirely by tech #billionaires and #corporations, operating outside of #US laws.""

Text from article(edited for length): By design, the details of how "freedom cities" would be established are laden with legalese... In practice, the plan is straightforward. Advocates want the federal government to set aside land to build cities exempt from federal and state laws. Instead, the cities would function as mini-dictatorships, where the CEO of each town runs everything, and the people who live and work there are subject to the boss's whims. It would be like being an employee of a controlling company, except you don't clock out at the end of the day or have a life — or rights — outside of what the boss allows you. "These are going to be cities without democracy," journalist Gil Duran told Wired. He's spent years documenting how the Silicon Valley elite — along with politicians like Vice President JD Vance — have pushed the idea that democracy should be ended and replaced with governments run by all-powerful businessmen. "These are going to be cities where the owners of the city, the corporations, the billionaires have all the power and everyone else has no power." In the tech bro world Elon Musk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky government coming in to protect people's safety, autonomy or civil rights. As Duran explained in his newsletter, "These cities will be controlled entirely by tech billionaires and corporations, operating outside of U.S. laws."

#Trump’s senior advisers downplayed fresh economic turbulence Monday as the admin’s escalating #TradeWar deepened a sell-off on #WallStreet & renewed fears about the stability of the US #economy.

As all 3 major US #stock indexes slumped, Trump’s team projected confidence that the volatility would prove temporary & that an economic boom set off by tax cuts [for #corporations & the #wealthy] would follow later this year.
