If "Tax The Rich" offends your delicate sensibilities, then you're either a BILLIONAIRE OR you've been indoctrinated to believe you may some day be a BILLIONAIRE.

Like Aerosmith sang, "Eat the rich; there's only one thing they're very good for. Eat the rich; take one bite now, come back for more..."

Domani: Gli Ayoreo e l’industria conciaria, la deforestazione che non vogliamo vedere

Più del 50 per cento della pelle esportata dal Paraguay è destinata al mercato europeo. Di questa il 99 per cento è destinato all’Italia. Eppure non facciamo niente per spingere il tracciamento di questi prodotti

The Ayoreo and the leather industry, deforestation we don't want to see.

More than 50 percent of the leather exported from Paraguay is destined for the European market. Of this, 99 percent is destined for Italy. Yet we do nothing to promote the tracking of these products.

Domani: Molta domanda, zero offerta: in Italia la donazione di gameti è ancora un tabù

L’Italia è tra le eccellenze europee per la donazione di sangue e organi, ma su spermatozoi o ovociti siamo molto indietro: il 99 per cento di gameti viene importato dall’estero, nonostante le richieste siano in aumento. Il professor Allegra (Cecos Italia): «L’infertilità è un tabù da abbattere, servono campagne di sensibilizzazione e indennizzi per i donatori»

High demand, zero supply: in Italy, gamete donation is still a taboo.

Italy is among Europe’s leading countries for blood and organ donation, but it is far behind when it comes to sperm or eggs: 99 percent of gametes are imported from abroad, despite rising demand. Professor Allegra (Cecos Italia): “Infertility is a taboo to be broken down, we need awareness campaigns and compensation for donors.”

Domani
A lot of young people don't remember this, but once upon a time, the six cash registers at the last store you were in, were manned.

Every counter, a smiling face, paid fairly, every trip to a retail store, clean, eventful, full of life and people. A walk down the street, shops open, not boarded up. Small coffee shops, diners, people coming and going, vendors on the side selling nicnacks and flowers.

You know, way back in 2012.

When they say they took the middle class from you, they didn't just take the money. They took everything else with it. They call it optimization and change but what it really is, is narrowing down the aperture of your freedom and abilities until you're a prisoner, rather than a participant.

I hope, for your sake and those you love, that you protect what you appreciate about your world right now, as it is. You might not see it tomorrow.

#America #wealthinequality #99percent

I went for a walk an listened to a couple of episodes of #99percent which really struck me.

https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/644-your-call-is-important-to-us/ is all about "sludge" the barriers to entry and progress that companies choose to implement because it's better for the bottom line than providing good customer service.

https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/643-the-new-jungle/ is all about the economics and social impact of hiring setups designed to make the most of the most desparate people, a legal form of indentured labour.

Capitalism, especially that American form of insidious capitalism, is the biggest driver of misery.

Your Call Is Important to Us - 99% Invisible

We have all been there. You’ve got a problem with your car or your internet or your flight, so you call customer service. And then you get routed, rerouted, and then re-rerouted – for hours. The call gets dropped, and after a few minutes of screaming into the void, you start the whole thing all

The album cover of 𝟗𝟗% 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐤𝐚-𝐏 depicts a caricature-style protest scene, capturing the band’s fierce political edge. In the foreground, a policeman with a sneer violently strikes a protester with his baton, embodying state power and brutality. The backdrop shows shadowy rows of riot police advancing, emphasizing mass oppression. With exaggerated cartoon features, fiery text reading 99%, and a chaotic atmosphere, the cover symbolizes the clash between the people and authority, reflecting Ska-P’s anti-capitalist, anti-police, and pro-worker message.
