With the means of production withheld and essentials of life held for ransom, I would argue that the part of a wage everyone pays to survive (Food, water, health, shelter, energy etc.) is simply waged slavery.

Additionally I could speculate that those who have moved jobs a lot may become desensitised to poor working conditions and rate their satisfaction higher than they should. Humans are often comparative in nature.

Even this data has an implicit survivor bias. Those who are unsatisfied with their job often seek new ones and may be satisfied temporarily, skewing these statistics.

We've lived under plutocracy in the G20 for decades, it's only recently it's been so obvious in hyper capitalistic countries such as the USA and UK as leaders are getting increasingly brazen especially since 2016.

A wealth tax goes against the fundamentals of neoliberalism supported by most western nations. To get this implemented we would need a significant shift in economic politics.

I don't think humanity can be considered civilised until it is vastly more capable of showing others mutual respect. Perhaps stopping unnecessarily killing each other would be a good first step.

Talking about communism without the big scary words is always a fun thing to do around people who are typically right wing. It's surprising how much they agree with but honestly can be scary what they don't.

Im tired of conservative blaming centrists for being leftists.
The number of times I talk about communism without the big scary words and get right wing people to agree with me is surprising.

I think this is the plan though. Lose the speaking head of the cultist movement then replace with an even easier to manipulate face for the new movement.

I'll give it a year or two in.

I have reached stage 4.

Dear Humans,
Please develop critical thinking.
Thanks,
God

Why are we platforming fascists?

Forgive me if this is petty but the next account I’d like to surpass here on Bluesky is CNN.

They helped normalize Trump at every turn and did nothing to help tell the truth about Kamala. Time to show them what we think.

Can you RT this and follow us if you haven’t. 💙🙏

Funnily enough, Nigel does want open borders... For rich people.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

If people actually looked stuff up (whether they agree with it or not) and read about it more deeply, we would live in a very different society today.

Not to mention rent control so people who choose to do so can live closer to where they work.

I meant to point out the quantity more than the probability, but you are probably right on that one.

Back a scared animal into a corner and they bite. I fear the consequences of this. But Putin and his loyalists are to blame for everything they have suffered and more. It's just a shame the war machine may lead to many more lives being lost on both sides before this is over.

I'm thinking we need at least a few people to keep X alive so they don't come over here. Or at least prepare for the day they do so we can mass block them.

Billionaires harm world economies and societies because what they take for themselves far exceeds what they give to society.
Any thoughts?

where would you hide something?

Precisely the argument I've been making. New and small farmers setting up and growing is important.
And renting should be abolished, especially for farm land.

Only like 13 months too late.

Not a good look. Read, watch, listen.

I think the first place to look is where the money is being spent, not some minutia that mainstream media puts people in a panic about.
Mega corps and billionaires should be the first place to look for money. Not workers, not people who need healthcare.

All assets should be taxed fairly otherwise things get misused and abused.
I think it's bad that we are disincentivising farming with this, we should have sweetened the deal with other policy really.

We can't get finger-on-the-pulse journalism like this from any other source.

Lots of headlines about how deportations will cause labor shortages and spike food prices.

Lots of stories about how mass deportations will spike food prices and cause inflation. But as Tom Bonier noted, only one published before Election Day...
