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.
"cities like Seattle, Minneapolis, and Chicago have passed minimum wage laws, renter protections, and public banking initiatives that directly challenge the neoliberal consensus their state and federal representatives still enforce.
"These politicians and movements are called radical by the media the neoliberalists own. But they are not radical for anyone but the 0.00000031 percent. They are fairness, freedom and a decent life for the rest of us.
"Jeffrey Epstein is dead. But the neoliberalist system he served is not. It is operating right now, and not just in kompromat operations. It operates in the halls of Congress, in the IMF, in the private equity firms buying your hospital and your apartment building and your local newspaper. It operates in your retirement fund that invests in the private prisons the neoliberal media tells you we need for all the immigrants. It operates in every trade agreement negotiated in secret and presented to the public as inevitable."
"Bernie Sanders has spent decades naming the billionaire class itself as the problem — not foreign enemies, not cultural grievances — and built the largest small-donor fundraising operation in American political history. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has explained repeatedly and clearly how financial deregulation, private equity, and the capture of democratic institutions by capital are not separate scandals but one system. Ro Khanna has pushed for industrial policy that rebuilds domestic manufacturing rather than surrendering it to global capital mobility. Rashida Tlaib has connected the financialization of housing to the same class whose money funds the think tanks that write the policies that keep it legal."
"Bolivia under Evo Morales nationalized its natural gas industry and used the revenues to cut extreme poverty in half. Colombia’s Gustavo Petro, a former urban guerrilla and the country’s first left-wing president, has pushed to end coal extraction, tax the wealthy, and rebuild a social safety net gutted by decades of IMF-directed austerity. Brazil’s Lula da Silva returned to the presidency in 2022 explicitly on a platform of reversing the privatization and deregulation his predecessor had accelerated on behalf of transnational capital.
"In Europe the resistance looks different but points the same direction. Portugal’s left coalition government, which governed from 2015 to 2022, rejected austerity, raised wages, and restored public services — and outperformed its austerity-following neighbors economically."
"Around the world, leaders have looked at the neoliberal machine, named it plainly, and built something different. Their success stories are real, documented, and almost entirely absent from American corporate media. That absence is not an accident.
"The clearest current example is Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum, elected in 2024 with 59 percent of the vote — the largest electoral margin in Mexican history. She is a climate scientist and the direct political heir of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, whose government spent six years dismantling the neoliberal architecture that had governed Mexico since the 1980s. Under their movement, called the Fourth Transformation, Mexico renationalized its lithium reserves, expanded public pensions, raised the minimum wage dramatically, and refused to hand its energy infrastructure to foreign private capital. The transnational financial press called it populism. The Mexican people called it governance."
"The transnational financial class does not have a country. Its members hold passports from multiple nations, park their wealth in jurisdictions chosen for tax convenience, move between properties on multiple continents, and owe their primary loyalty to capital itself. They are the first true citizens of the neoliberal order they built.
When we ask “which country ran Epstein,” we hand them their most effective defense. Because the real answer — no country, just Neoliberal capitalism — sounds like exoneration. It is a description of something more dangerous than any nation-state: a class of people with the resources of nations, the mobility of stateless actors, and the political reach of an empire — accountable to no electorate, no constitution, no border."

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.
