"Recall that Purdue was the maker of Oxycontin which affiliates marketed as less addictive and less-abusable than other pain drugs. Said affiliate ultimately pled guilty to misbranding. That in turn led to thousands of lawsuits aimed at the parent company. The controlling company, the Sacklers, implemented what amounted to an asset-stripping scheme to try to get something out of the company, fearing it (and all their income stream) might be destroyed in bankruptcy.

"The company ultimately did file and, recently, there was a proposed settlement that, among other things, forbid anyone from suing the Sacklers, effectively granting them a release as part of the bankruptcy.

The Socialist Fabian Society (Keir Starmer is a member) boasting here that they now have 141 MPs in the UK Labour Party. One of their aims is to bring about Socialism in the UK by using Capitalism to bring about its own decline.

"A friend of mine was invited by a FAANG organization to visit the U.S a few years ago. Many of the talks were technical demos of impressive artificial intelligence products. Being a software engineer, he got to spend a little bit of time backstage with the developers, whereupon they revealed that most of the demos were faked. The products didn't work. They just hadn't solved some minor issues, such as actually predicting the thing that they're supposed to predict. Didn't stop them spouting absolute gibberish to a breathless audience for an hour though!"
