That's not a new issue. The poisonous concept of "good" and "bad" minorities and immigrants has been around for a long time.
#racist #Divisive #exploitative don't begin to say enough about the evils of that framing.
How #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump turns a #profit on #politicalviolence
Trump is a #hatemerchant. As part of their #opportunistic and #exploitative nature, Trump, his #propagandists and other #agents are #trafficking in #violence and #chaos. This is central to Trump’s #fascism, #demagoguery, #politicalopportunism, and #feral #politics.

I just realized that a lot of the same people complaining about #AI were the same people that were complaining about #Uber.
Uber is not your friend, but the #taxi companies also weren't your friend.
AI is not your friend, but #ContentMills are also not your friend.
What you are is an #ignorant #technophobe, not even able to be elevated to #luddite.
#Luddites knew exactly how their machines worked, and broke them because the machines weren't working for them.
The critique of Uber was stanning for #exploitative #Rentier #Capitalist who'd already so thoroughly engaged in #RegulatoryCapture that their #monopoly had become part of the background.
@samhenrigold I think both are key:
- If #ConsumerProtection means certain kinds of #exploitative #Apps like #PayToLoose aka. "#NotLegallyGambling" games get yeeted out of the #EU, that's a necessary and vital step...
Just like a lot of #US Services have already been unavailable for refusing to comply with laws (i.e. #CashApp & #Venmo don't comply with #KYC & #AML) and a lot of things are banned in the #USA under the veil of "#ConsumerProtection (i.e. #KinderSurprise, unwashed eggs & non-chlorinated chicken despite being scientifically better) ...
- #TechLiteracy & #MediaLiteracy OFC need to be taught but that will require at least 25+ years until we even have capacities built to stop #Enshittification - not reverse the already #enshittified products and services back into an acceptable state!
enables them to display their #NaturalBehaviours. It is in direct contradiction with the #AnimalWelfareAct 2006 to not allow animals to carry out these behaviours, and a tragically #cruel thing to do.
#Gressingham, a so-called "local boys and a family business", is #industrial in size. Each duck becomes a mere statistic in this gross #exploitative system and not an individual who has needs. We witnessed eye and nasal infections, blindness, severe lameness, twisted feet and bent necks.

One of the most #thankless, #unpaid, #unaccounted, and #exploitative care work one partakes, is cleaning an #entitled bourgeoisie indoor cat's litter tray. 
Especially as it sits opposite you, cleaning its paws, expecting efficiency.

" investigate possible negative consequences of being a loyal #employee in the #workplace. Instead of protecting or rewarding them, loyal employees are selectively and ironically targeted by managers for #exploitative practices...bidirectional causal links between loyalty and exploitation have the potential to create a vicious circle of suffering"
Oh, the familiarity...

#News flash #Woolies - customers don’t want to be falsely #imprisoned in your self serve checkouts!
Isn’t it enough forcing ppl into self-serve while Woolies & #Coles have made #exploitative #profits?
Some #customers have taken the matter into their own hands today.

Poverty is manufactured: The well-off and with #predatory #elites, who enact #extractive and #exploitative policies to #CreatePoverty and #entrench it, in America, across the world, and across history.
Read my ★ review of "The Whale," the most depressing, exploitative, unintentionally hilarious piece of Oscarbait in the history of depressing, exploitative, unintentionally hilarious Oscarbait. Bonus MST3K points for Darren Aronofsky adding a horror-movie soundtrack every time Brendan Fraser opened a candy bar! https://boxd.it/3ULBIr
Every February 20th, #WorldDayOfSocialJustice is celebrated.
In January, we released our months-long #investigation into the #socialinjustices faced by #drought-stricken #farmers in #Bangladesh, at the hands of #exploitative ‘water lords’.
"They will force you to buy water for low-lying land if you ask for water for a high-land paddy field."
Tubewell owners control the lives of millions of marginal farmers in Bangladesh by charging aggressive prices for water.
The association of #universities in the #Netherlands @KNAW is setting up its own #instance for #students and staff. Through its move from Twitter to Mastodon, the #connected world of #academia has become a little less #exploitative and more #cooperative.

Unpaywalled #uspolitics article (link is long, in comments) about how this #Biden proposal aligns the interest of #labor and #immigrants , instead of allowing #exploitative businesses to pit them against each other by cultivating a disposable pool of black market humans to distort the #employment market and dispense with any need to provide #safe and #humane working conditions.
