@esther capitalism is built on ownership and therefore inequality. The systems we suffer under come out of this engine. You can’t have massive wealth without disgusting poverty. The relative comfort in the global north is also built on obscene amounts of suffering in the south that we never see.

At the same time, it’s riven with untamed instability and crisis used to beat the 99% with and keep them down. Along with actual murder and violence, of course.

@rbreich in Britain they keep reviving the 1970 “wage price spiral” nonsense. The words are the wrong way round. No-one has had a wage rise.

I've been listening to a concentration playlist track on Amazon music

By far the weirdest thing is the whale song

It's not helping me concentrate in the slightest but it's strangely compelling

@CyberpunkLibrarian it also shows how durable stuff was before planned obsolescence.

Fuck the economy, I care far more about people.

Doing nothing to prevent infections isn’t very bright. We are causing high levels of long term disability. This is causing labour shortages and also adding to inflation. The policy of pretending covid is over is damaging our economy.

Terrible predatory forces are eating away at the country. The corporatists, militarists and political mandarins that serve them are the enemy. It is not our job to make them more appealing, but to destroy them.

Kier Starmer is always making pledges, have you noticed?

Maybe the word means something different when you're a lawyer, I dunno.
