A new study from @groundwork.bsky.social, @moreperfectunion.bsky.social and @consumerreports.org found:
- 74% of items had multiple prices
- Up to 5 different prices for the exact same product
- Basket totals for the same 20 items varied by 7%
A 7% swing could cost families $1,200 more a year

Newly unsealed Meta court documents show what the company has denied for years: its products harm children, its executives ignored internal warnings, predators and traffickers operated freely on the platform, and Meta misled Congress and the public about what it knew.

This is an illegal workaround that the Trump Admin and the Big Tech AI companies are using because they don't have the votes for AI amnesty in Congress.
This will harm kids, raise prices, and scam hardworking people out of their money.

More AI data-center proposals are stalling after residents point out the obvious — their power bills are spiking as Big Tech demands subsidies. Local opposition is gaining steam as a powerful check on these companies and their outrageous demands.
