The REAL reason the US is on a crusade against Huawei
As the US outsources its military 5G network to the bloated defense industry, pay close attention to all of the hypocrisy — US government & corporations working in tandem to snuff out competition
I have no quarrel with competition on a level playing field. That’s not what’s happening here. The US is guilty of protectionism largely to protect behemoth domestic corporations whose products are inferior https://t.co/jOyBUuWuLV
Just noticed that the tweet I QTed in my OP was deleted🤔 Sadly I don’t have a screenshot but here’s the general subject matter totaltele.com/511588/Lockhee…

The US is hiking Medicare premiums due to the $56,000/year price of Biogen’s new Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm HT ⁦@JenD1974⁩ cnn.com/2021/11/12/hea…
Given the drastic step of hiking Medicare premiums to cover that huge cost, you would think that Aduhelm showed definitive promise for combating the terrible effects of Alzheimer’s disease, right?
Harvard Medical School Professor Dr. Aaron Kesselheim, an expert on pharmaceuticals that address diseases of the brain, & 2 other members of the FDA advisory committee resigned in protest after after the agency approved Aduhelm cnn.com/2021/09/26/pol…

Ever wonder how ‘corporate personhood’ happened? Obviously corporations are NOT actually people — but US law seems to bend over backwards to grant these inanimate entities many of the same rights that should logically be reserved for living, breathing human beings
It all began with a pair of former legislators turned Gilded Age railroad lawyers, a poison pill buried in the 14th Amendment, & a brazen fraud upon the Supreme Court
“In The Rise of American Civilization,” Charles & Mary Beard suggested that the rise of corporations on the American landscape was the result of a grand conspiracy that reached from the boardrooms of the nation's railroads all the way to the Supreme Court” thomhartmann.com/unequal-protec…

“The unprecedented application of Title 42 against asylum-seekers was seen by many public health experts and human rights organizations as having nothing to do with public health and everything to do with anti-Latinx racism.” On immigration, Biden = Trump theintercept.com/2021/03/24/asy…

“Some countries have cornered the supply so much that they can offer up to four doses per person, while many developing countries have yet to receive a single dose of a vaccine” —Dr. Christopher Tufton, Jamaica’s minister of Health and Wellness miamiherald.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Texas is forcing students to take this standardized test IN PERSON. There’s some reprieve for younger kids but “high school students must pass five subject-specific courses by the time they graduate a requirement that will not be waived this year” #COVID19 texastribune.org/2021/04/06/tex…
Why is Texas administering the STAAR test in the middle of a pandemic? One superintendent pointed out the $64 million answer: “So this spring, testing is not about improving academic performance. It’s about improving the bottom line of a testing company”
One parent voiced her concerns: “I have two unvaccinated kids. You know, what's going to happen if somebody gets in there and they get exposed? How will that be acceptable to anybody? Dear God, what if one of them dies” #STAAR kvue.com/article/life/t…

Joe Biden has done little more than spin the revolving door from the private sector to rebuild the neoliberal technocrat pool from the Clinton & Obama years. The latest name to emerge, Cass Sunstein, epitomizes everything that’s wrong with this trend therevolvingdoorproject.org/progressives-v…
Sunstein, a dyed in the wool technocrat, has been a reliable go-to establishment legal scholar for so long that if you look up ‘wonk’ in the dictionary you’ll likely see his picture newrepublic.com/article/154236…
He not only embraced of the father of neoliberalism, Friedrich Hayek, papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Sunstein did so in such a way leaves no room for doubt that he believes wholeheartedly in ‘managed democracy’ salon.com/2007/11/07/sun…
