The federal government "have given the green light for the merger between Capital One and Discover, effectively creating the eighth-largest bank entity in the United States. This merger ... will establish the largest U.S. credit card issuer by balances and grant Capital One control over Discover's expansive card payment network."

"Discover's interim CEO, Michael Shepherd, lauded the deal for *enhancing competition*, expanding product offerings, boosting innovation, and providing *community benefits*."

😂 Why do they say crap like this when it's plainly the opposite? Would it be so hard to just give a bland "We're excited for the opportunities in this new chapter," synergy, blah blah?

Mike, buddy, the merger process is over - so you can take a break from lying now. Life is short. Just enjoy your pile of money that probably exceeds the lifetime savings of 1,000 nurses.

Don't fall for #NewSpeak - Call things what they are. If #ICE agents are grabbing people off the street who haven't committed a crime, they are not "arresting" people, they are ABDUCTING them. They are taking them across state lines to TERRORIZE people. They are not prisoners or detained, they are HOSTAGES.

Do not normalize #Fascism

Mocht je nog een kunstig werkje #Doublethink en #Newspeak willen zien moet je die Sara ook bij "Uitgelicht!" bekijken. Wat is ze dan toch het slachtoffer van de omstandigheden. Alles wat er bij BOOS is uitgelegd was maar verkeerd, volgens haar. Kon je zien aankomen. Zionisten volgen allemaal dezelfde tactieken... Ze hebben het nooit gedaan, hoe kom je daar nou bij?

Oikeisto rakasti kritisoida vasemmistoa newspeakistä, mutta on ihan hiljaa kun USA:ssa äärioikeiston toimesta tapahtuu juuri sitä mitä Orwell tarkoitti 1984:ssa newspeakilla. Sanoja kielletään ja poistetaan, koska niiden olemassaolo kiistää ideologian. yle.fi/a/74-20146617 #newspeak #äärioikeisto #USA #Orwell

Yle Uutiset · ”Sukupuolten tasa-arvo” on yhtäkkiä kielletty termi – näin Trumpin hallinto kylvää kaaosta YK:ssaYhdysvaltain hallinto vaatii esimerkiksi sukupuolten tasa-arvoon ja ilmaston­muutokseen liittyvien sanojen kitkemistä YK:n kielestä.

If all this telemetry data was really about improving products, then we'd have amazing fantastic products by now, right?
Or maybe it's my misinterpretation of the tech industry's #newspeak, in the same way that "personalization" has shifted meaning to be the antonym of "customization".
