It's exploitation because the workers don't see another way. There is. Once we move to that new way, we leave them behind.
This isn't about politics. This is about a narcissistic moron.
Alt text: A graphic titled βTotal U.S. Debtβ displays a circular visual representation of past U.S. presidents, with a red segment labeled β25%β highlighting former President Donald Trump. The quote below reads, βRoughly 25% of our total national debt incurred over the last 230 years actually occurred during the 4 years of the Trump administration. Thatβs right. 25% of our entire national debt, all during the Trump years.β This quote is attributed to David Jolly, former Rep. David Jolly (R-FL). The background is black, emphasizing the red section and the text. Sources are noted at the bottom.
Share this and show it to someone who thinks Trump is βbetterβ for the economy.
Seeing the LA fires devastate lives and homes, it's infuriating. These aren't just 'natural disasters'; they're a direct consequence of decades of inaction fueled by greed.
My heart goes out to the victims, the firefighters risking their lives, and all those impacted. #ClimateCrisis #EnoughIsEnough
"But consider how much more difficult it is to convince someone that doom is around the corner when the money is still coming in."
Andrew W. Lo
(Lame Deer: Seeker of Visions, p. 70)
We had no written law, no attorneys or politicians, therefore we couldnβt cheat. We really were in a bad way before the white men came, and I donβt know how we managed to get along without these basic things which, we are told, are absolutely necessary to make a civilized society.
If a man was so poor that he had no horse, tipi or blanket, someone gave him these things. We were too uncivilized to set much value on personal belongings. We wanted to have things only in order to give them away. We had no money, and therefore a manβs worth couldnβt be measured by it.
Before our white brothers came to civilize us we had no jails. Therefore we had no criminals. You canβt have criminals without a jail. We had no locks or keys, and so we had no thieves.
