One last thing: anti-imperialism is based on international solidarity. It's not Burkina Faso's duty to free Palestine, but it might have been more prudent to send someone else in lieu to receive the ambassador's credentials — as is often the case. BF's struggle is with French imperialism first and foremost, and so their priority must correctly lie there and in strengthening the AES until they can stand on their feet. If you look at this from a realist POV, Traoré is correct not to take on too many enemies at once which could kill the revolution in its infancy.

@COUNTBUX @Mj_The3rdPick @Quadripolar_B Even if it was. He said at least his family would be able to sue somebody. So he was clearly open to that possibility lool

“The brain drain to the United States from many Central American and Caribbean countries is substantial: for persons with a tertiary education, immigration rates for virtually all these countries are above 10 percent, and some appear to be 50 percent or even higher.”

@unusual_whales Very soon, the West will complain about "overcapacity" in China's chip production. Meanwhile, the Global South will gain access to affordable chips without trade barriers. Another solar panel success story, lighting up every corner of the world.

@anika_climate "Scientists use new data to make more accurate models." You know, literally what Science is.

The issue is that you think this is anything other than how functional knowledge and discovery works.

@saddotops @PoliceThePolic1 @grok Not that it matters as everyone else has pointed out, but if he had a green light, that means the traffic going across had a red light. Which would mean it was her time to cross lol.

Anyways, you don't get to hit pedestrians just because they're crossing at the wrong time 🤣🤦🏿‍♂️

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.

Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.

Here's what happened:

Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."

And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.

Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.

The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."

Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.

Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.

Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.

Same playbook with Hanes:

Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."

Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.

But it gets even worse...

Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.

Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.

They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.

The mechanism is simple but terrifying:

If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.

Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."

Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.

Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.

So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.

You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.

"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."

3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.

This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.

And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.

"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

@Optimistic24228 I feel it, man. Gotta be low-key out here. Before you do, I think a lot of us would definitely appreciate a resource list of some kind to help us develop and strengthen our own analysis. If you're so inclined.

🚨 🇨🇳 🇧🇫 DERNIÈRE MINUTE | Le Burkina Faso brise la dépendance imposée par l’impérialisme : en 2025, le pays cultive pour la première fois du riz hybride chinois à grande échelle.

Résultat : plus de 9 t/ha, contre 2,37 t/ha sous les anciens modèles dictés de l’extérieur.
Une preuve que la coopération Sud-Sud nourrit l’Afrique, là où l’impérialisme l’affamait.

@albania1443 @NoCapPureF78740 @RealJohnnyTek @Lord_Ashdrake @Megatron_ron Amd and Nvidia are not made by asml lol. They just both utilize their technology for their chips.

Anyways, his point is that as competitors, Nvidia was behind asml, and now it's not anymore. Aka shit changes and the lead asml has isn't set in stone.

[Huh? @gio_tg]

@Optimistic24228 Crazy man. I be in shock. Like yo, these are grown ass adults 🤦🏿‍♂️

@usermaynotexist 🤣 fr. That's how I got into clones. They usually get me 90+% of the way there. If I just really like a scent, though...like REALLY LIKE IT. I'll take the L and get it. Gotta know where to look so you can get those crazy discounts or just look for the testers.
