Well, yeah, but I would prefer that they never were able to collect that much money in the first place because the ability to do so is both an economic Ponzi scheme and a matter of exploitation.
Companies have to be broken up. Companies have to be made smaller, more earthbound entities.
And even though antitrust would require winning a mandate, we can do a lot at the local level by banishing large companies from your community…
Those big companies like Walmarts, Home Depots, data centers and fulfillment centers. You know what they do with their aggressively non unionized employment: kill off local business.
City should never allow these companies to operate within their territory. They destroy the tax base, they destroy local businesses. They destroy wage levels and they bleed your community of money paying for their super big infrastructure.
Big corporations are a sea of red ink
Reminds me of this brief but profound scene from Dickens "A Christmas Carol"...
"[Scrooge] had been quite familiar with one old ghost, in a white waistcoat, with a monstrous iron safe attached to its ankle, who cried piteously at being unable to assist a wretched woman with an infant, whom it saw below, upon a door-step."
👉 The misery with them all was, clearly, that they sought to interfere, for good, in human matters, and had lost the power for ever.👈

Amazing Mosaic Repairs (15 Photos)
In the world of street art, where walls, buildings, and other vertical surfaces often steal the show, Ememem brings something refreshingly different to the table — or rather, to the pavement.
Known as the “pavement surgeon,” this French street artist transforms cracks, potholes, and other urban blemishes into stunning mosaic artworks. With a trowel in hand and tiles at the ready, Ememem has made a name by bringing beauty to what most people overlook.More like this: Repairing the World with LEGO: Jan Vormann’s Dispatchwork Project

The Art of Flacking
Ememem’s unique practice is known as “flacking,” a term the artist coined to describe the act of filling urban cracks with intricate designs. The colorful patterns often stand out against the dull grays of asphalt and concrete. Each piece transforming damage into art.2.
The first flacking by Ememem
From Lyon to the World
Based in Lyon, France, Ememem started flacking in 2016. The artist’s works have since spread to streets across Europe, making appearances in cities like Paris, Madrid, and Milan. Every piece is site-specific, tailored to the unique shape and character of each crack or hole. Whether it’s a geometric explosion of color or a more subdued design that blends with the environment, Ememem’s mosaics are unmistakable.3.
Democratizing Public Space
Ememem’s art does more than beautify streets; it also reclaims public spaces for everyone. By addressing overlooked areas and elevating them through art, the artist highlights the power of creativity in transforming everyday environments. The work is accessible to all, reinforcing the idea that art doesn’t need to be confined to galleries or museums.4.
Themes and Inspiration
The mosaics often reflect themes of repair, resilience, and humor. Some designs include playful patterns that mimic flowers, mandalas, or traditional tilework, while others incorporate messages or hidden symbols. This blend of craft and commentary invites viewers to look closer and engage with the art on a personal level. Each piece tells a story of renewal, where broken streets are given new life.5.
Viral Appeal
With the rise of social media, Ememem’s works have gained global recognition. The striking visuals are a favorite for Instagram, where hashtags like #flacking and #urbanart help spread the artist’s creations to audiences far beyond the streets where they’re found. The visually compelling mosaics often go viral. Follow Ememem Instagram here.6.
Whether you stumble upon one of Ememem’s pieces while walking to work or see them shared online, their impact is undeniable.
They challenge us to see the cracks in our world not as flaws but as opportunities for creativity and connection.
No future for the potholes!
