(neologism, politics) A small group of ultrawealthy men who exert inordinate control or influence within a political structure, particularly while espousing views regarded as anti-democratic, technofascist, and masculinist.
The shit is hitting the fan at such a high rate that it can be difficult to keep up. So this is a place to share such news.

No. Voting with your wallet doesn't work at this scale, they can far outspend any negative PR at this point. It is on the government for not having strong watchdogs, enforcing laws, inflicting massive fines. Don't victim blame here like you just did because all you'll honestly accomplish is to sound smug.
They just keep selling it under new names on Amazon, it’s never ending.
That’s not what they said. They said you as an individual can make the easy choice to avoid Amazon. They never said it would hurt them.
So every person, especially the disproportionately effected poor, is supposed to spontaneously be aware of this issue, have the time to source an alternative, and have the money available to make up the cost difference?
Don't be ridiculous, they are selling a demonstrably unsafe product, they should be held to task by the government.
"Hurr hurr, should have bought the lead free paint, dumbass."
Yeah, you as an individual should never have chosen to rent an apartment from a person who wanted to save as much money as possible on the plumbing and then your kids got brain damage. Sheesh. It's all your fault, and clearly this kind of thing shouldn't be regulated, because why even would someone want it to be.
