ROUND 2! The bill is supposedly up for a vote today around 1pm MT. With all the wonderful coverage illuminating this issue, hopefully the @azdemparty have had a chance to chat with @davidcicilline or staff from the antitrust committee like @linamkhan. The insight is there.
I was so happy to see Rep Aaron Lieberman on the Democrats' side commit to voting for this bill. Really hope he's had a chance to speak with his fellow Democrats as well. This isn't an R v D issue. It's a Monopoly v Democracy issue.
The argument that "It is not the obligation or the responsibility of the state legislature to get involved in the midst of litigation" is uninformed. Arizona shouldn't let a California lawsuit dictate if they can protect their residents and businesses. protocol.com/Policy/apple-g…

Speaking of Europe and worker protections. It's well-past that these dystopian remote work surveillance tools are banned: "RemoteDesk is the most advanced AI-based Desktop Monitoring Solution and employee monitoring software for work-from-home obedience". remotedesk.com
I mean, what fresh hellscape is this?? AI is going to scan your room for fucking contraband? Are these workers your employees or your prisoners?
FACIAL SUSPICION?? Monitoring for EATING AND DRINKING?? I repeat that this is software intended to be inflicted on EMPLOYEES not prisoners. Even prisoners generally aren't policed on their fucking FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. This truly is the 9th ring of hell here.

I've been devouring @jasonhickel's new book Less Is More. It's a master piece pulling together the ecological disaster wake-up call from The Uninhabitable Earth, the economic enlightenment from Piketty's Capital, and the colonial history from Jason's own The Divide. Just ace.
As a long-term skeptic of growth for its own sake, Less Is More provides the empirical and historical proof to underpin my hunch. A world economy that seeks perpetual growth is a disaster for both the earth and its inhabitants. This book pairs the argument with urgency.
As I was reading Less is More, I kept marveling at what an incredibly effective propaganda program this Growth Über Alles scheme has been. @jasonhickel's book is the most effective counter and deprogramming plan I've yet encountered. Written in plain, accessible English.

"Milan prosecutors said on Wednesday they had ordered four major food delivery companies to officially hire more than 60,000 workers and pay a total of €733M in fines after an investigation showed their working conditions were inadequate." 😍 reuters.com/article/us-ita…
While American gig-exploitation companies are celebrating the laws they bought to entrench their abuses by raising prices, Europe is going in the opposite direction. Thank heavens for that.
This astounding victory in Italy follows another huge one in the UK against Uber. European countries are wising up to the gig-economy scam, and finally doing something real about it. Bravo!

I'm hearing that the Arizona bill to stop app stores from forcing a minority of app developers to use the platform's exorbitantly priced payment processing systems will come up for a vote TODAY! As a refresher, here's my testimony from Monday. world.hey.com/dhh/testimony-…
In a truly bizarre twist, though, the main opposition to this bill is coming from Arizona democrats. After all the work that @davidcicilline, @linamkhan, and others put into the scathing congressional report on big tech/app store monopoly abuses, it's a sad turn of politics.
Maybe @ZephyrTeachout, @Sally_Hubbard, @DinaSrinivasan, @stacyfmitchell, @ewarren, and other strong antitrust women on the left can help @AZHouseDems understand the gravity that's at stake here, and convince the democrats how sorely this is needed.

"Of course it is incredibly unnerving when people accuse me of being “invasive” or “breaking their trust” for using [spy pixels], but that is not my intention. For me, it seems a smart way to do business." WTF??independent.co.uk/life-style/ema…
"She asked me: 'Do you not think it is incredibly invasive and encroaching for you to know how many times I read your emails?'.. But I kept using it.. Then a former teacher accused me of “intruding in her personal life” for using it. neither of these were enough to deter me" 😮
So you spy on someone, you get caught spying, the victim of your spying explains why its hurtful and harmful, and you just carry on.. because.. that's what you want? That's some seriously sociopathic behavior.
