Musk’s barely legal coders may have had admin access to the Treasury’s payment system ($1.5T+ yearly).
I’m thinking Office Space.
A tiny skim per transaction, laundered to crypto, logs wiped. Even if they lost access, the code still runs.
Billions vanish. No one notices.

Norfolk Southern boosted shareholder payouts by 4,500% over the past 20 years — hitting $4.7 billion in stock buybacks and dividends in 2022.

During that same time, the company cut nearly 10,000 jobs — reducing its workforce by 33%.

Corporate greed at its absolute worst.

Does anyone else find it suspicious how hard Republicans are fighting to keep the IRS from being adequately funded?

Almost as if they're protecting someone, they shouldn't be.

Before you vote tomorrow, remember that the @GOP doesn’t care about you.

They want to keep their 2017 tax cuts, cut funding to the IRS so they can’t catch wealthy tax cheats, and kill the 15% minimum corporate tax.

Vote, please.

West Texas is under a drought that could surpass that of 2011, which was Texas’ driest year on record and caused billions of dollars in losses to farmers and ranchers. ⁦@jayme_lozano⁩: https://t.co/skkJxTCzOO

Extreme drought and bark beetles now threaten California's Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, home to Methuselah, a 4,853-year-old bristlecone pine.

I don’t always agree with @RBReich but he’s correct in his economic analysis. It’s a symbiotic relationship: Corporations raking massive profits. Rs hiding the ball and pointing to Biden for electoral advantage, who will give further deregulation. Classic D #selfown too.

Speaking of meat, Tyson Foods responded to $1.5B in higher costs with nearly $2B in price increases.

This means the company extracted $500M from consumers to keep profit margins huge.

When I say corporations are using inflation as cover for their greed, this is what I mean.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The Fed is making a mistake. This interest rate hike won't remedy many of the major causes of inflation. If the Fed continues down this path – as it has signaled it will – the economy will likely be plunged into a recession.

@lessig I don't always wish folks happy birthday on twitter, but when I do it's with a little help from my friends. ¡Felicidades compadre! https://t.co/lUaqSyeFPs
