it will “only lower prices” after they raise them to ensure everyone pays more while thinking they got a discount (this is also how many law school scholarships work) congrats everyone who voted for cheaper eggs and got “kill federal consumer protection”

(5/11) Walmart, Whole Foods, and Kohls are switching to electronic shelf labels that can display dynamic prices. Kroger deployed them with Microsoft AI—a setup a 2024 Senate inquiry warned could enable “surge pricing” via facial recognition. (Kroger claims it will only lower prices.)

Breaking News: President Trump cannot continue building the ballroom in the White House without explicit approval from Congress, a federal appeals court panel ruled. The Supreme Court will likely decide the project's fate.

Appeals Court Upholds Block on Trump Ballroom Construction

A federal appeals court panel backed a lower court’s ruling, and made it likely that the Supreme Court will decide the case. But the decision does not mean construction will halt immediately.

Great post by @rbreich.bsky.social on inequity in the U.S.: the bottom 90 percent of Americans are struggling to make ends meet; the “3 richest Americans have as much as the entire bottom half of the nation.” “The only other country w similarly high levels of wealth concentration is Russia.”

America's huge middle class has become a small shadow of what it once was. The bottom 90 percent are struggling to make ends meet. The richest 10 percent account for a large and growing portion of all consumption. The top one-tenth of one percent holds an increasing portion of all wealth. Today the great divide is not between left and right. It's between democracy and oligarchy.The richest 130,000 Americans and their immediate families now own as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent — 117 million - combined. The three richest Americans own as much as the entire bottom half of the population. The only other country with similarly high levels of wealth concentration is Russia.

America has experienced oligarchy thrice in its brief history. The first was under the slaveholding founders The second, the robber barons, a century later. A third American oligarchy emerged around 1980 — and has only gotten more powerful.

Good banner was put up in Bangkok to note the visit of Min Aung Hliang. Appreciate so many Thai friends & allies taking action in one way or another, some attended protest, some issued statements, banner drop & more to oppose the visit by the murderous Junta leader.

Banner on overall in Bangkok reads: Myanmar is bleeding No handshakes with a brutal dictator

Latest free piece is out. Praising a racist, conspiracist, anti-democratic, Trump-worshipper because she takes one position you like is a dangerous move and is to be regretted. The struggle is basically the same in the US and Ukraine. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

It Is All One

Because a Racist, Conspiracist, Anti-Democrat, Oppression-Supporting, Trump-Worshipper Takes One Good Position, Does Not Make Her Worthy Of Praise
