Only social media users said they’d be more likely to support a candidate who supported Palestinians (33-19 percent). Just 15 percent of cable news viewers said the same, even though 31 percent of cable viewers agreed that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians.

China is smashing its renewable energy transition out of the park, and is headed for 4x the total wind and solar power of the US. What’s the scam?

China’s new coal power plant build-out to stop the construction of new
plants before 2030.

The more that corporations make, all the more they want — nay, need — to make next quarterly. It's never enough. Maximizing profits at the expense of those with so much less, or nothing, will likely always be a significant part of the nature of the big business beast. And our corporate news-media mostly deems that reality ‘unfit to print’.
Still, there must be a point at which corporate greed thus practice will end up hurting big business’s own monetary interests. Perhaps the unlimited-profit objective/nature is somehow irresistible. It brings to mind the allegorical fox stung by the instinct-abiding scorpion while ferrying it across the river, leaving both to drown.
Meantime, corporate officers shrug their shoulders and defensively say their job is only to protect shareholders’ bottom-line interests. The shareholders also shrug their shoulders while defensively stating they just collect the dividends and that the big bosses are the ones to make the moral and ethical decisions.
And the common yet questionable refrain incredibly still prevails amongst 'free-market' capitalist nation governments and corporate circles: It claims that best business practices, including what's best for consumers, are best decided by business decision-makers. But that has been proven deadly false numerous times.
