I am just waiting for a future trillionaire to propose air or sunshine as subscription services. That is what massive wealth in modern supply-driven economies is based on. Identifying the most basic biological need or function you can get away with monetising !

Housing? Hunger? Thirst? Attention? Dopamine? Healthcare? Education? Transportation?

How the very wealthy pay the less tax than everyone else.

Why taxes are unfair... (using Lego to explain)

They are going to fuck up #socialsecurity by rewriting the software to make it less functional. To then try to pull the wool over the #workingclass as a means to place social security on the bargaining table.

Remember this is the last Bastion for anyone making under $300k a year to get a lick of their labor given to the #federalgovernment

If it comes to the bargaining table they will push to disband it, and what will happen to all those trillions of dollars? It won't be in your wallet, or any of your loved ones, or even neighbors.

That money will be used to make the #onepercent richer.

We have to stop letting our distractions that categories whether it be race, religion, gender, sexuality, and even political affiliation.

Together we are strong and the #oligarchs need us more that we need them. The real fight is the #classwar

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse

Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

A friend told me a great joke about trickle down economics. I'd share it with you but 99% of you wouldn't get it.

Interview on the illusion of ‘growth’, and public vs private innovation
Her ability to translate and explain economic development without falling into historical traps using mission based economics with an emphasis on innovation and big impactful goals is superb 👍

Plus she clearly is in the #mmt camp

Breadtube vs Economics #1: Response to Philosophy Tube on Housing

YouTube

Why do stock markets keep on growing? Because the economies keep growing?

So why do economies keep growing then?
Is it because the population keep growing?
Intellectual property keep accumulating optimising production?
Is there a theroretical upper limit to it?
Physics will limit it to total energy available - mostly sun light?
So is there a known correlation between sunlight and economic growth?

Of course, Malthus has some opinion.

#econimics #stockmarket #physics #complexity #science

@BlakeHamiltonCA Maybe not. #CBC talks about the problem of waste disposal at least (something still not solved in #Ontario where you'll find #NuclearWaste piled up around #Pickering, for example). It doesn't talk about the #econimics which aren't good - it's expensive. Shifting to #Wind with #batteryStorage is likely a better long term strategy.

Why Small Modular Nuclear Reactors Won’t Help Counter the Climate Crisis

Small modular nuclear reactors, or SMRs, are designed to generate less than 300 megawatts of electricity – several times less than typical reactors, which have a range of 1,000 to 1,600 MW. While the individual standardized modules would be small, plans typically call for several modules to be installed at a single power generation site. Photo credit: NuScale Power, LLC
