Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor.
So...slavery. One step closer to #TechnoFeudalism
Which in case you've forgotten, is entirely constitutional as long as you've "commited a crime".

"when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security"
The design evinced by the combination of #neoliberalism and #neofeudalism has always at its core ethos been "divide and conquer", with the ultimate goal of reinstituting overt #aristocracy via #ownership of literally everything.
100% support destroying robots that are used to replace humans for the sole benefit of #rentseeking #neoliberalism #neofeudalism. #Technology should be used to enhance human #productivity not replace it.
Delivery services might not seem like an important or pretigious form of #employment, but it's a job that should be treated with #dignity and paid a #LivingWage.
If you don't understand how #money #currency and #economics actually work, they are worth studying.
The purpose of Public Education is not, should not be, and must not be training of "workers".
The purpose of Public Education is, should, and must be creation and nuturing of: informed, engaged Citizens; innovative, independent Makers; and trusted, expert Leaders.
Our system of education is failing us because decades of #neoliberalism and #neofeudalism have turned it into a grist mill for wage slaves to serve the aristocracy, the ownership class.
We the People must control our own destinies.
We are being slowly strangled to death, and we are being told it is our own fault.
And far too many people on the putative "left" are telling us that the use of force to defend ourselves from this manifest evil is a moral wrong.

#Housing, #utilities, #transportation, #food, #clothing, #healthcare, #education, #communications, #pensionsโall essential sectors of our economy have been completely taken over by the #neoliberalism #neofeudalism wage #slavery extraction mindset. Without alternatives, the #ownership class is empowered to demand more and more very year.
Each monopolist cares not a whit for how much each other monopolist is demanding.
Each individual and family, is forced to make terrible choices to survive.
@wyatt_h_knott It's the ultimate expression of "the ownership society". #Ownership is a license to print money via #rentseeking.
When you own everything, you can charge for everything, and the only real competition you have is other rentseekers who are looking to maximize their extraction rates.
It's why gullible right wing voters view #immigration as competition, and not as cooperation.
You will own nothing, and the #aristocracy will be happy.
Publicly owned #banking is key to breaking the back of #neoliberalism and #neofeudalism. I'm going to keep saying this until people start to understand it. Lending is a license to literally print #money, and the power to print money belongs in the hands of the trustees of the people, not in the hands of private, for-profit corporations.
LRT: This is what more than half a century of #neoliberalism and its #DivideAndConquer ethos has done to humanity.
The purpose of neoliberalism and #neofeudalism is to isolate people and make them dependent upon the system, bereft of anything that might ground them in reality, the better to make them into livestock, desperate to please the masters to ensure their next meal of fodder and a continued barn over their heads at night.
The vulnerable are always the first to fall, and never the last.
