There is nothin like kicking a country when it is down. Having stolen their resources, contributed the largest contribution to Global warming with its effects on lives, the environment and little things such as migration, Western vultures are still allowed to screw them further - before there is anything left.
Capitalism is that system of relationships in which human beings want other human beings to do the work so that they can enjoy the profits without doing the work.
A very nice story about why we should start to #repair things more often with the support of local shops than replace them with brand new things that are more crappy than we think:
We can produce more stuff with less labor. So why are we still working?
If we wanted to produce as much as Keynes’s countrymen did in the 1930s, we wouldn’t need everyone to work even 15 hours per week. If you adjust for increases in labour productivity, it could be done in seven or eight hours, 10 in Japan (see graph below). These increases in productivity come from a century of automation and technological advances.
Have to call this out.
This bill has already passed the house.
A trojan horse of a bill that will undermine the first Amendment and the people's rights.
What's in this bill that fascist Republicans are thrilled about?
I saw a post from someone saying goodbye to the kids on the school #bus that she had driven for several years and expressing happiness about her new job driving a #garbage truck where she will earn double the income.
Like education, #waste management is a very important thing. But still, the thought that we value driving trash around twice as much as driving kids around... It's a bit bleak.
finds that 25 countries halved multidimensional poverty within 15 Years, but 1.1 billion remain poor.Notably, India saw a remarkable reduction in poverty, with 415 million people exiting poverty within a span of just 15 years (2005/6–19/21). Large numbers of people were lifted out of poverty in China (2010–14, 69 million) and Indonesia (2012–17, 8 million).
Damn you capitalism, don't do your thing, we in the west are supposed to hate capitalism and think it is the most evil thing and cause of all wrong in society. That is what I learn from the meme-crowd on social media and the protest-party people on universities.
Just as liberal democratic capitalism evolved over centuries to achieve success, socialism is also in its early stages of development. There's still experimentation, and there will inevitably be some mistakes along the way. That's no reason to give up on socialism. #socialism#capitalism#liberalism#democracy
The problem with #capitalism is often all the things that DON’T happen because of it.
I guarantee that if American companies were losing billions as a consequence of the current massacre in #Palestine it would stop overnight.
But it turns out that while “unfortunately the children are on fire” capital keeps expanding. So nothing happens because under capitalism nothing is necessary if it is not expanding capital.
