The DOW fell back below 50k the same day btw

If only that would mean they would start the investigations.

BTW: it such a fucking bad argument. The people that benefit the most from DOW being at 50,000 are the same people that are in these files.

Well that and the olds who vote who live on a fixed income tied to the performance of the stock market 🫠

Yes, capitalism - among any position of unchecked power really - does draw the people who are most likely to abuse said power. Who could have known, besides, like, everyone.

They arrested him for other shit

He was detained for 11 hours. Lot of weird misinformation going around regarding this.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

And immediately released him. What a farse.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

That's how being arrested works. Do you think he can't afford to post bail?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

A farce, even.

Police are investigating Mandelson over claims he passed sensitive government information to Epstein a decade and a half ago. He does not face allegations of sexual misconduct.

I didn't look too much into it but I really hope that south korean guy actually had dogshit values and supported terrible things and they actually didn't purge him for not bootlicking corporations and the giving the "life need to be harder because fuck you" type people everything they want. Because that's usually why former heads of state get purged. Just saying.

You should look into it then, his actions will make it obvious that he is getting exactly what he deserves.

On the bright side, I can't get How is the DOW out of my head now.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 3 points 2 hours ago

Beat me to it.

That's brilliant. Except for her 9 year old spoiled brat attitude being missing, it sums it up pretty well.

China would put most of these guys to death
