So THIS is why GM said it will no longer support Apple CarPlay from 2026?! And build their own Android experience. Because they don't want Apple to take over all the car's screens as Apple demands it does so.
From the US vs Apple lawsuit:
I still won't call it "greedflation" though.
This is just good, old fashioned capitalism.
A crisis has drawn our attention to pricing, which is always dominated by corporate interests. #CapitalAsPower
My reluctance on Greedflation -- skeptical at first, much less so today -- is officially shattered.
$AMZN used its algo opportunistically during the post-pandemic inflationary surge to aggressively raise prices regardless of input or cost changes...

"#Value. In the #CapitalAsPower framework, #valuation is considered a manifestation of #power. Value is understood as the capitalization of income generating assets, & the relative magnitude of capitalization is a matter of differential organized power."

When it comes to #enshittification, Musk is truly an innovative genius. #sabotage #capitalaspower @doctorow https://t.co/nExrvTKiim
The problem with concentrated wealth is much more than excessive, destructive consumption. The ultra-wealthy get to shape society for self-serving purposes. #capitalaspower
Melinda French Gates isn't simply (or nobly) trying to expand representation in Congress. She's using her vast wealth to decide WHICH women get the opportunity to run---those that "represent my values." This is private power, not public good

As an outsider to academia, Blair is doing compelling, evidence-driven, contrarian analyses that support the #CapitalAsPower analytical framework.
"Among the 114 countries studied here, energy growth correlates negatively with inflation among 74 of them — about two thirds of the sample. And overall, the average energy-inflation correlation is negative, at roughly -0.1" - @blair_fix

Another example of why corporations and key government organs cannot be understood as independent entities. Fossil capital *includes* the unwavering support of the police force. Otherwise, the emperor has no clothes.

I am ashamed for my country using massive police force to enforce a coal mine expansion. The claim that this coal is needed for energy security has been firmly rejected in a statement by over 500 scientists, including leading energy & climate experts. https://t.co/M2np1pMI0b
I see we’re getting to the “we’ve said it all along” stage of mainstream economists citing “distributional struggles” (read: power) as the primary driver of inflation. #CapitalAsPower
An interesting debate on the ritual of capitalization, discount rates and the meaning of the trailing price-earnings ratio.
