Never forget that billionaires in the United States think the ideal society should be modeled on the kingdom of Saudi Arabia

700,000 slaves work to build everything and cook and clean everything in this country.

This is the world the super rich are deliberately moving everyone into.

If you don’t wanna end up destitute and in chains, the super rich and their corporations must be brought to heel.

There is no other way

This is a nightmare version of the old joke of an engineer, a mathematician and a physicist are all in a car, where the tire blows out.

You should know the punch line, right?

Gesell makes a distinction, discussed in detail

“ Farmer, tenant, workman, debtor, give back what they received; but the merchant receives for his money something totally different from money. For this reason exchange has nothing in common with lending. and for this reason, also, basic interest and interest upon real capital are determined by totally different causes. We ought really to cease designating two so fundamentally different things by the same word, interest.

I do want to say, however, that crafts people at the very least should be able to offer their wares for sale.

The worst aspects of the Internet come from the centralized commercial platforms. We could have a world of cities, providing Internet access, web, hosting services and online storage and processing.

They could be organizing in the same way the fediverse is. Every resident and local business gets access.

IKR?

actually, I think you’ve hit upon it entirely new genre of Christmas gift.

We make up peace, prizes for ourselves, and then give them to us.

Oh hey, phishing email.

I don't have a Spotify account. Some number of people would still click through trying to sort out why they are being billed erroneously.

ICE is what you get in this post woke post DEI world where incompetent white males are handed a lavish income of at least 100 K plus bonuses and in quotas to inflict their incompetence and viciousness by working for the largest human trafficking operation in the world will ever know

https://youtu.be/ALUc3_AQzu4

I’d like to also point out here that the men being recruited for ICE who are in no small part physically unfit and mentally unfit are the basis for a mercenary army the super rich dream of building.

ICE is a test of what you can get away with with an incompetent organization with state monopoly of violence.

Each and everyone of these individuals have self identified as people who carry the malignant tendency to be cruel, no matter what

@economics_that_works

Your daily reminder that neoliberalism is the economic variant of the oil and tobacco lobby.

Same bank rollers

Since we’re headed for another amazing solar flare event and all likelihood tomorrow and the day after I think this old homage to our magnetosphere is an order

Why do you hate on North America? I think a lot of people here don’t want them either.

The freshwater crisis. It’s not getting easier because extreme weather multiplied by the urban heat island effect multiplied by ecological destruction which destroys regional hydrology.

The natural landscape is a reservoir of water, and it is also a water management system that tends to bring hydration, moderate its influx and measure out its release.

Kill the land and you kill the climate and you kill your water supply

Brenna on healthcare. Somebody should give this woman a Pulitzer.

What caught her eye was the sharpie modified graphic. They were going to talk about when that guy passed out and totally train wrecked the announcement.

Trump is executing a gigantic grift with respect to ACA and government negotiated drugs with teh now very usual back room deals with large corporations.

So these healthcare accounts, which would be the option people who could no longer afford healthcare would have to lean on, could only spend money on the kinds of operations, the administration allows for.

There is a lot of shady details to the story

@maddad @hosford42

I would just talk about evil people that love to kidnap and destroy the families of Christians and shelter child predators.

Hispanics are largely Christian with 42% catholic amongst those who professor religion.

It is a good thing for my mental health that I don’t have conservative relatives that I know about

#EpsteinNation

You can say that the essence of somebody like Epstein is ruthless exploitation of the world. It is the essence of the super rich.

The pillar of San Francisco, the CEO of salesforce Marc Benioff and his pandering and now alignment to US fascism simply to get those hot sweet juicy ICE recruiting contracts.

He’s so goodly urge the president to surge ICE to sweep San Francisco neighborhoods, only to call righteous outrage upon his head. His contrition is bullshit

Gotta love the onion
