#Russia appeared to be using Tue’s talks to cater to #Trump’s interest in #profits & natural resources, arguing that American #oil companies & others stood to gain hundreds of billions of dollars by again doing business in Russia.
…Leading Western oil companies, including Exxon Mobil, joined many other businesses in pulling out of Russia 3 yrs ago amid outrage over #Putin’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine.
Things like #enshittification and #shrinkflation are driving up the cost of goods while the companies make record #profits again and again. Meanwhile most #boomers are getting outraged on Facebook by a guy wanting to be a girl. Sort your priorities please you brain-dead muppets

"All they talk about is growth and growth and business and growth with zero acknowledgement that we live in a corrupt corporate state, which is not an inevitability but a political choice. And not doing anything about it is also a political choice. When you're gonna help the people you were put in government to represent?"

Update. Another article made it through peer review (at #Elsevier) asserting that all or most #OpenAccess journals charge #APCs. It also seems to deny the existence of #nonprofit #publishers.

PS: But the article is #paywalled and I can only judge from the abstract.
"Publishing houses are not charitable organizations…Hence in open-access publishing, the cost of the publication and the loss of #subscription #profits are compensated by article processing charges."
