An issue I don’t believe has been addressed regarding the deep cuts to SNAP, is how many grocery stores in low income areas will go out of business. Mom and pop, family owned markets. For many, almost all of their customers are on food assistance. The Krogers will just close their doors and move on.

embarrassing for him what a poor campaign cuomo has run. no matter which way it shakes out there will be a lot of over-reading from a weird off-cycle primary in an exceptional city but you have to be pretty stupid to think you can count on name id in an election with ~20% turnout

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

We’re fucked in every way imaginable, on every front

Kat Abughazaleh nails exactly how Americans need to address the dangers of ICE raids happening now.

A lot of the frenzied response from groups like the ADL to college protests results from the fact that many fewer people view Israel positively today than even a decade ago, and that is at least in part the result of Israel's actions, and there is no policy response in the US that can change that.

Marx neither has a labour theory of value nor endorses technological determinism. Why haven't economists taken the critique of political economy into more consideration? For the same reason that apologists will never answer textual criticism of the Bible seriously: they're believers first.

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

Could you help close this apparently significant gap in my knowledge by pointing me towards information on the "last time" you mentioned?

In a communist society, nobody receives what is defined as Value. And this is for the better. Value, in that sense, is the defining control mechanism of a capitalist society. Everyone is forced to chase it, primarily in its actually apparent form — money.

Marx is actually very clear that the exploitation in capitalist society is about exploiting (using/employing) a worker to produce more value than they receive in wages. Value is specifically tied to commodities as a social form, and does not exist without commodities.

I just got banned from there for no reason, so it would be nice to see activity on this site

Hopefully it improves.
I've had my share of concerning medical moments this year, so I wish you luck!

How is everything? This is a worrying last post.

What language?
