Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.
Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.
This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

The United States laws and international laws against war crimes not only protect the enemy, but those laws also protect your sons and daughters if they are wounded or captured after a military action. Whatever you do to them, they are perfectly justified in doing to your soldiers.

Want to know how the law stands on "Well, we killed them because they might have continued operations!"?
Go look up Heinz-Wilhelm Eck.
German U boot commander who spent 5 hours machine gunning sailors in the water because they might be seen and tell which way he'd gone.
His sentence was death.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.
