  Last month, he was rehired only to be fired a second time — after courts ruled some of Trump’s layoffs illegal, then legal again.

  Fucking hell.

    Whats “free market” about an authoritarian regime?

    source

    • einkorn@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      A “free market” as in the sense these lunatics envision it is a market devoid of any form of outside regulations. In essence, survival of the fittest on an economical level: Profit above all else, might makes right, consequences be damned. One president führer CEO calling the shots, everybody else following or getting crushed in the machinery.

      So you tell me: What’s not authoritarian about corporate capitalism?

    I mean Doge doesn’t even really fit into what most would call capitalism. Closer to corruption, hubris, and plain old stupidity really.

      It fits perfectly as a vessel to further the neoliberal agenda of dismantling any form of regulations to create their vision of a “perfect” free market society.

      It’s called corporatism and is a direct result and end result of capitalism.

    As much as I hate private ownership of the means of production, her death is tied more to Musk and Republicans. And everyone even slightly responsible for Trump’s victory through action or inaction.

      Any time something bad happens in a capitalist system, it’s because of capitalism.

    Not a fan of capitalism… but it’s not the right ideology to blame in this case fam

  This reminds me of what Germany was like c.1930.

    Yeah, I have been comparing the failure to form a left-center government at the end of the Weimar Republic resulting in the Nazi’s rise to power to the 2024 election.

    Actually it does fit if you read the entire article, technology isn’t just about electronics but the application of scientific knowledge to practical ends which she clearly did and contributed to til that point.

  This is a case where “died by suicide” seems genuinely more effective at describing what happened than “killed herself”. She didn’t inflict on herself the conditions that led to suicide. Other people did that, and they are ultimately responsible for her death, even if it was technically by her own hand.

  Those contemptable fucking bastard Nazi shitheads.

  Isn’t John Hopkins the wackjob college that RWNJs always reference for their horrendously incorrect medical “assessments”? Or am I thinking of something else?

  • j4yt33@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Johns Hopkins University is one of the most famous medical research institutions in the country

    • peoplebeproblems@midwest.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Famous and well respected. I think I can only name three that come close - Duke University, Cleveland Clinic, and Mayo Clinic.

      Ok, I wasn’t sure. There is some site out there that wackjobs love to reference to reinforce their beliefs, and it sounds similar, but I cannot remember what it was called.

      And no, I’m not thinking of praeger…
