@karelbrits Goeie samenvatting van wat er momenteel mis is in de politieke (!) economie. Iedere ‘pro kapitalisme’ kiezer zou dit moeten zien. Maar zelf kan je er ook wat mee: steun kleine (MKB) ondernemingen, zowel door niet te kopen bij #bigTech #bigAgro #bigFood #bigPharma en #bigFinance, als er niet voor te gaan werken.
You won't get any Progress from the current status quo. Ever. Look back & measure it:
#Inequality? Worse than in the 1950s!
Adjusted middle-class #incomes? Flatlining for 20 years+!
Personal #Healthcare costs? Bankrupting individuals & families more than ever.
Political #Corruption? Endemic. They're ALL at it! (To the point now that they can't get to Congress without it!)
#CitizensUnited? Pure #Plutocracy.
#BigOil, #MilitaryIndustrial, #BigFinance, #MSM Oligarchy, etc. etc. etc.
Etc.
@Luuk_Aalders Wat een bak vooroordelen over laagopgeleiden weer. Hou daar toch eens mee op. De ‘overwinning’ van bruinrechts is vooral te danken aan verwende middenklasse die zich vastgedraaid hebben in hun eigen economisch welvaarts paradigma en denken dat vluchtelingen het land uithouden en klimaatmaatregelen ontlopen hen meer welvaart zal bieden en hen in staat zal stellen hun verwoestende leefstijl voort te zetten. (En dat allemaal ten gunste van kredietverstrekkers #bigFinance en #bigSales}

Quotes (loosely)
Just Have a Think:
"if we stopped giving that money (subsidies) to the fossil fuel companies, we could cover the ENTIRE COST of suppporting our friends in the GLOBAL SOUTH and have enough left over to COMPLETELY fund the global expansion of RENEWABLES required by 2030 to actally achieve NET ZERO in 2050"
Naomi Oreskes:
"By 2100 economic damage will be so great that it essentially matches global GDP"
the cost of fixing climate change becomes so great that we have no money left for anything else"

Als je ziet hoe #BigTech maar ook #BigFinance in beweging komen op het gebied van digitale identeit en digitale wallets, dan zou je eigenlijk heel erg voor een democratisch gecontroleerde europese digitale identeit en wallet moeten zijn, ipv daar weerstand tegen bieden zoals sommigen doen. #EU #wallet #eIDAS #politiek

Insightful article about the #bankingCollapse.

What seems to be the consensus is (a) mid-sized banks that cater to small-medium sized businesses, and that were (b) #bitcoin friendly, were specifically targetted. Targetted by a congressperson in an open letter, we might add.

The bitcoin side is not covered in this specific article, which takes a somewhat broad historic lens on #bigFinance and the effects of #shortTermism.
