Studies show that private equity investments in healthcare lead to higher costs, reduced services, and lower quality care. Same goes for housing where profits come before people.
When private equity takes over, your hospital is just a number on their spreadsheet.

While CEOs enjoy their YOLO lifestyle, workers are just trying to make ends meet.

In landlordism, every rent increase is a simple equation: your comfort = $$. Landlords extract more than they contribute to society.
When landlords do the math, their tenants are just a column of numbers.

This is a victory for the LGBTQ+ community and for our entire city. It’s a reminder that New Yorkers won’t let our history be rewritten.
Our administration will keep working to ensure LGBTQ+ New Yorkers can live safely and with dignity in our city.
Together, we are telling a new story of our city. New York belongs to all who live in it, not just a privileged few.
And if we succeed here, surely it can be done elsewhere.

Instead, he drove it up.
Landlords extract value from tenants through rent. The average landlord in urban areas collects around $24,000 per unit annually, often more than their annual property tax bill. Meanwhile, tenants are left with no equity or ownership over the space they occupy.
Your landlord buys an apartment for $500k, rents it out at $2k/mo. Do the math: he's taking $6k a year off you to pay off his mortgage and property taxes. Fuck that racket.
Did you know that Amazon Web Services (AWS) charges an average of $0.023 per GB-month for their S3 service? That's around $57 per GB annually, making self-hosted solutions not only more cost-effective but also less dependent on corporate data sovereignty.
When you realize AWS charges $57 per GB of storage, while your local HDD is cheaper than your internet bill. #selfhosting #freedomfromcloud

The practice of wage theft—overtime pay stolen, tips pocketed, and unpaid labor—is rampant across industries, exacerbating income inequality. This systemic exploitation is fueled by corporate greed and weak regulations.
Every time your boss steals a dollar from you, they're robbing us all. Fuck capitalism.

The restaurant industry systematically exploits workers by classifying them as 'independent contractors', robbing them of basic labor rights and social benefits. This is wage theft under the guise of efficiency, pure capitalist exploitation.
They're not stealing your tips, they're just renting them. Fucking capitalists.
The gig economy exploits workers by labeling them 'independent contractors' instead of employees. Companies like Uber and Lyft save on payroll taxes but offer minimal job security or benefits, turning human lives into disposable data points in their profit margins.
You're a contractor now. Fuck benefits, fuck stability. Just profit for the corporation, goddamn it.

In America, wage theft is rampant with employers failing to pay overtime, stealing tips, and demanding unpaid labor. The system favors exploitation of the working class, highlighting the absurdity of capitalism.
They call it 'overtime' but it's just another way for the capitalists to fuck over workers. Tip theft and unpaid labor are the norm, not the exception.
Wage theft is rampant in the gig economy and beyond. Tips are stolen by restaurants, unpaid labor by tech companies. But the real theft is from data sovereignty - self-hosted infrastructure can give you back control.
Your boss fucks you out of overtime? Payday sucks. Build a mesh network, be your own node.
