"And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.
Yeah, come on Wall Street, don't be slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die."

" Is Social Security in trouble? Yes, but only because of the way its financing is currently structured — a structure that no longer works well because our society and economy have become so unequal. Moreover, Trump’s immigration policies are further endangering its already deteriorating financial condition."

"Sea drones."

Maybe we can get the machines to fight all of our future wars for us.

All it takes is a little bit of money.

And it's a beautiful day.

It has been three years since this conference occured. Three years since a panel of very knowledgeable people have presented alternatives to the madcap economic systems which are leading us to a dead planet (at least for humankind and many of its econsystems). These alternative address major areas requiring dramatic changes:

#Wealth distribution to end #poverty and #inequity

#Decarbonisation to keep our planet alive

#Equality, #education and #enpowerment for all, especially #women

#Sustainable #food production and distribution

An end to #Consumerism and #GPD measured #Growth without advocating #deGrowth

And one more I forgot :( sry. (I should’ve taken notes)

It’s a long video, but if you’re searching for solutions to our social, environmental and economic #trainwrecks, this is a will spell them out for you.

This information has been widely disseminated to educators, activists, political leaders and economists worldwide. So my questions are: What’s holding us back? Why aren’t we seeing something other than a global rise in #Fascism #FossilFuelUse the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex #Billionairism and #Oligopoly ?

I know it can feel like a waste of time to try reaching your elected representatives in Congress, but if you have the time and the spoons you should really tell your reps to reject Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. The section aims to integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries in unprecedented ways. It would give the Israeli government even more power to influence U.S. politics, and it would make our relationship with Israel even more unaccountable to the public than what we have right now.

Section 224 would be a different beast entirely. It would fuse the U.S. and Israeli defense sectors in multiple areas vital to the battlefields of the future, like autonomous systems and cyber. It would also bring extraordinary Israeli influence to the U.S. beyond what it already has through the Israel lobby and its robust network of social media influencers. It would give the Israeli government the opportunity to greatly expand one of the most powerful levers of influence in U.S. politics: jobs in the U.S. By expanding or starting new co-production facilities like it already has in Mississippi and Arkansas, the Israeli government could boast of providing jobs on U.S. soil, thereby securing allies among members of Congress who represent the districts where those jobs lie.
…
The shift will strip away the political and diplomatic oversight mechanisms that make the relationship publicly accountable, moving it from a visible annual aid vote into the opaque machinery of defense acquisition, where oversight is limited and political accountability is minimal. The result would be a defense relationship that is simultaneously deeper and less transparent.

— Ben Freeman, “Congress quietly moves to integrate US and Israeli militaries”
