You say that like it’s a bad thing ♡


True, I do have a habit of getting overly enthusiastic in my use a metaphor, lmao and humor as I see.
Compared to what life was like pre-80’s? Yes absolutely things have improved, but even if improvement of conditions exist for those into the billion, that doesn’t exclude the relative conditions on the ground.
Unemployment is growing in younger demographics at rates near the peak of what the US experienced in 33. If you compare overall, sustain unemployment year to year is worse. Continuing lack in stability in land value has changed what was a bedrock backing for generational social mobility into a risky hedge for many.
As you well know, and have said, just going off of say strength of the ren for pure purchasing power or daily wages is misleading. Compare the shifts in collegiate achievements, the chosen international schools that the middle class are sending their kids to get their degrees. Look towards the shifts in lower class, especially in the cities, towards day labor over even extended work contracts or proper salary. Look towards the accessibility of central heating, plumbing, electricity. See the treatment of the lower half a billion of Chinese society when they need to access healthcare, when they need the law. What is their commute like?


The source: It’s me. I made it up I work my ass off to keep up on ongoing trade stats and national publications, as well as first hand sources including some colleagues world-wide.
If you want to make a hobby of it, I’d recommend putting a little extra spending cash into a good radio receiver and your pick of audio translation software, you can time it to get live updates on policy from almost any country one way or another.


Who could’ve ever thought?


I appreciate your fine estimation of TWB, but a study is only as good as it’s data.
Data from the government, by the government. Have conditions and quality of life improved? Yes. But it was only a few years ago the people were buying gross tonnage of cheap fashion clothes during a rather harsh winter so people could survive the cold by burning it instead of coal to heat their homes.
That’s not even counting the hundreds of millions that live life like it’s the great depression, and the conditions in which they work.


Surveilance state babe.


Fucking state sponsored lynching


Of fucking course it is


He better kick fucking ass.


It’s always a joy having two resumes. First, all my real qualifications. Second, good enough to be a janitor if need be.

I’ll always be a major proponent of voting. I make it a priority to try and work the polls when I can.
But damn, does voting with your wallet work every time. From civil rights to free speech, it just works.
So you know, the next obvious step is to really kick them in the balls and outright replace their businesses on the free market. Bit harder a step but the real ultimate irony would be a resurgence of local communities stepping up utilitization of rebroadcast stations to better inform their populations and improve overall broadcast standards by ensuring proper “free market discourse” as they so often put it.


What’s the old metrics?
Private industry costs three bucks to do what public does for one.
The Department of Defense War hasn’t passed an audit for 8 years straight, high percentage of contract deliverables being immediately retired, resold domestically, or outright never delivered.
Of course they’re going to stuff their pockets as much as possible. It’s the only thing they’re actually able to do, and barely competently at that.


Modern internet for you.
It may be far from perfect, but it’s why I have such a soft spot for alternative to modern social media. If I’m going to put my through a slog of keeping these sorts of official social media accounts ip and running, I might as well make it a nicer experience.


Best part: the better names in the alt os and device scenes don’t sell in us markets.
Unless you do the legwork of flashing your own device, most of us are out of luck.
I just love a good market stranglehold.


Eh.
Whats the harm in a little nuclear war here and there?
Maybe a small nuclear winter will offset all this global warming hullabaloo, keep things balanced.
Of course a sweat-shop owner is a republican.
