  • This idea needs to be fine tuned. The problem is that parasitic oligarchs don’t have a real income.

    For those who don’t know, the parasite oligarchs take the vast amount of stock that they own and take it to a bank. The bank gives the parasite a loan with the stock as collateral. Right off the vat, the parasite gets to claim debt on their taxes. The parasite will then take the loan and use it to buy more stock or companies or anything that generates more wealth.

    Loan gets paid off with the generated wealth. Due to generous tax loop holes put into place by politicians). The parasite gets to claim that they didn’t make any money and get a tax bill of zero and sometimes a refund.








  • Yeah, I have huge doubt that this law won’t be used to crush any cultural diversity to make a mono culture.

    Despite current views that might define the system of residential schools as racist or genocidal, many scholars contend that they were seen as progressive at the time, a form of state intervention.

    The school system was created as a civilizing mission to isolate Indigenous children from the influence of their own culture and religion in order to assimilate them into the dominant Euro-Canadian culture.

    During their stay many students were forced to assimilate to Euro-Canadian culture, losing their Indigenous identities and struggling to fit into both their own communities as well as Canadian society.

    These acts assumed the inherent superiority of French and British ways, and the need for Indigenous peoples to become French or English speakers, Christians, and farmers.

    In 1894, amendments to the Indian Act made attendance at a day school, if there was a day school on the reserve on which the child resided, compulsory for status Indian children between 7 and 16 years of age. The changes included a series of exemptions regarding school location, the health of the children and their prior completion of school examinations.[

    The introduction of the Family Allowance Act in 1945 stipulated that school-aged children had to be enrolled in school for families to qualify for the “baby bonus”, further coercing Indigenous parents into having their children attend.

    The Truth and Reconciliation Commission list three reasons behind the federal government’s decision to establish residential schools.

    • Provide Aboriginal people with skills to participate in a market-based economy.
    • Further political assimilation, in hope that educated students would give up their status and not return to their reserves or families.
    • Schools were “engines of cultural and spiritual change” where “‘savages’ were to emerge as Christian ‘white men’”.

    TTC drew attention in the late 1990s when it attempted to remove freeware and shareware clones of Tetris from the market by sending out cease-and-desist letters claiming both trademark and copyright infringement.[11] Creators of Tetris clones claimed that the company had no valid legal basis to restrict tetromino games that did not infringe on the Tetris name trademark, since copyright “look-and-feel” suits have not stood up in court in the past (Lotus v. Borland), and because the letters made no patent claims.[12]

    In August 2008, Apple Inc. removed Tris, a clone of Tetris from its online App Store.[13] In March 2009, the Tetris Company sued BioSocia, operator of the Omgpop gaming portal[14][15] because one of its multiplayer games, Blockles, was too similar to Tetris. By September 2009, Omgpop removed the game from the website and replaced it with an alternate that the developers created, based on Puyo Puyo.

    In May 2010, lawyers representing The Tetris Company sent Google a Digital Millennium Copyright Act Violation Notice regarding Tetris clones available on the Android Market.[16] Google responded by removing the 35 games listed in the notice even though, according to one developer, the games contained no references to Tetris.[17][18][19]

    In February 2011, the Tetris Company continued to make copyright claims against independently developed Tetris clones, most notably against Tetrada on the Windows Phone 7 marketplace. The developer, Mario Karagiannis, rejected the claims of copyright infringement on the grounds that copyright does not cover gameplay design, but still removed the game, citing lack of resources to fight what he called “bullying”.[20][21]

    In the case Tetris Holding, LLC v. Xio Interactive, Inc., a US District Court judge ruled in June 2012 that the Tetris clone Mino from Xio Interactive infringed on the Tetris Company’s copyrights by replicating elements such as the playfield dimensions and the shapes of the blocks.[22]

    In April 2021, a YouTuber called JDH made an operating system that only runs Tetris.[23] Two months later, his GitHub repository was taken offline by The Tetris Company because of copyright infringement.[24][25]
