  • When covid stopped everything the noise in the oceans and cities decreased so much the animals started singing again. Dolphins returned to Venice, whales to New England harbors, the environmental impact of those years was significant. We are capable of adapting quickly and making huge impact, covid showed us that’s it’s just an unwillingness on the part of the ruling class. It can be done, we’re just told “small, incremental change is best” (neo-lib bs enshrining short-term profits). Kill the industries, pay the people via social safety nets, federal jobs program to build better stuff, public projects, public ownership. Public money made most things but the people in power transferred all that tech and IP into private hands.



  • Everybody’s broke, no one is immune to fomo, and It’s expensive to be poor. Corporations are the one’s aiming for the cheapest profits, they’re who landed on slavery and pollution as a means to cheaper profit. This isn’t a permission structure, it’s just what’s happening. Why have feelings toward your broke friend for getting some summer 'fits, instead of railing against the suppliers with the dangerous practices? Pshh… outta here with that personal responsibility > corporate accountability, fuckin grifters get more protection than the grifted
