Horrible thought that we're expected to pay more for them to dump sewage, not counting fixing the leaks - as they use the inflation rate to increase payment - doesn't seem to work regarding #nhsstrike - any other contract you have would state what they are obliged to do and in this case of #thatcher privatatison you don't have a choice of shit dumpers

Why do white Americans learn about the dozens of wealthy Black towns that were destroyed by racism, from:
* Fictional TV shows made by HBO
* Black women comedians (Amber Ruffin)
* Random Black dudes the post on the internet 🙋🏿‍♂️

Instead of from their history text books?

Again folks will ask "Why was I not taught this in school?" And again, I will say, "You know why." Look at what DeSantis is doing. Look at what the Texas Board of Education has always done.

This is the Forbidden Knowledge(tm)! 🤫

if you want to get a sense of some of the impact of this change, just look at the quote tweets 💔

From Caitlin Johnstone (@Caitoz) --

In competition-based systems, the most powerful governments will always be those who are willing to do whatever it takes to stay on top, the most powerful people will be those who are willing to do whatever it takes to get power, and everyone else gets crushed in the mad scramble.

The fact is we’ll always be ruled by corrupt assholes as long as we have competition-based systems, because the best competitors will always be the most ruthless individuals who will do anything to get to the top. Get rid the current assholes and our asshole systems will necessarily elevate new assholes to take their place.

It’s easy to imagine a future without corrupt assholes. But it’s almost impossible to imagine a future where human behavior is not driven by profit for its own sake, where we have moved from competition-based systems to collaboration-based ones where we all work together for the common good.

It’s easy to say “Those assholes at the top need to go.” It’s much harder to say “Everything I’m familiar with needs to go.” It’s a giant leap into the dark of the unknown. But that’s the only way we’ll ever move toward health, and it’s the only way our species will avoid being driven to its doom.

I agree. If you hold on to the same system, it's "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." The only way to change this is to change the system.
