Rather than all the #charity ads trying to get money of ordinary people, we may accept others having say 10 times more but NOT the 100s or 1000s of times more that #captalism entails; my WalkaboutsVerse #poem on "Tax" https://walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/03/walkaboutsverse-91-of-230.html

Anyone who has hope is deceiving themselves. What is coming is full blown disaster capitalism. And it will exclude all Palestinian voices.

"E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution

In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show."

And now you should start reading what Adorno meant with "instrumental reasoning" to understand the logic of #captalism and politics in capitalism.

A fantastic video about how my sister and BIL moved their company to a worker coop. They live in rural Colorado, and are a reason no one should ever think rural USians are a lost cause.

I think it is fantastic that there are organizations to help companies move to the coop model. I know it was rough changing the mindset of some of the employees, some of whom were so used to the boss-->worker relationship it was a serious obstacle to the changeover

I've just had a text from Essex & Suffolk water re a supply interruption. I live in Northumberland, 300 miles away.
What are these bastards doing with our personal details? Sharing them out by the look of things. And then being (predictably) untrustworthy and generally inept with them.
