Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs.
That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK.
As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

This is what Farage's Brexit did to the figures for migrants arriving in small boats. Before Brexit there was a negligible amount. Farage told us it would be controlled by Brexit.
Farage, the root cause of all this, is apparently the most popular political leader in the UK right now???

Early Conclave votes might not reflect how things end up panning out. I expect that some of the cardinals who do well in the talent show might bomb the snatch game, and the Rusical often allows dark horses to gain momentum. I’d hold off on predictions until at least the makeover challenge.
