@randahl Ok from time to time I read arguments from left side of #USA and people stop. Just stop. He's not demented. He know what's he's doing. He is a perfect #capitalist who will fuck up any other nation so USA can grow and abuse other countries.
Same with the #ICE guy shooting this woman. She almost run over him and because USA is such a fucked up country he #shoot her in the face. Just like any other policeman would do. So the problem is not only with ICE but with gun control in USA.
@randahl #USA is a perfect machine running on abused majority of workers who can't afford shit. All their life is based on generating #profit for corporations that will send them to war so minority of rich people can get even more money.
#Trump is perfect #president for such country. I know it's scary but it is true. He will do whatever he wants and he is not demented. His values are different than yours. He thinks in terms of money and USA as a country. Nothing else matters.
Gemeinsam mit Millionen in #Europa trauere ich um die meist jungen Toten in #CransMontana in der #Schweiz 🇨🇭. 😢🔥
Und frage, wann endlich #Medien die klaren Lehren thematisieren: Der #Marktregelt NICHT, die #Rechtsmimesis tötet!
Wer ständig gegen den demokratischen #Staat wettert, Regeln, Kontrollen, Steuern, Gebühren, Bürokratie nur „abbauen“ will, tauscht #Sicherheit von Menschen gegen #Profit. Auch in #Deutschland werden Arbeitsplätze in #Kommunen „eingespart“! 😠🇩🇪🇪🇺🔥 https://www.fr.de/panorama/massive-widersprueche-in-crans-montana-bar-besitzer-schelten-jetzt-die-gemeinde-neuer-verdacht-94109682.html
Yes, Walmart execs rake in huge profits by paying their employees a fraction of the value of their labor. So, little, in fact, that they must rely on govt assistance just to survive. Consequently, it is all of us, through our tax dollars, that subsidize and enrich this slimy welfare scammer. But the $6.2B in public assistance quoted in this meme was based on 2014, and the amount they collect today is most likely much higher. https://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2014/04/15/report-walmart-workers-cost-taxpayers-6-2-billion-in-public-assistance/
Walmart is the single largest employer in the U.S. (1.6 million employees). The Walton family has a collective estimated net worth of $225 billion. They’re so rich they own two separate NFL teams: the Rams and the Broncos. However, 48% of the children living in Bentonville, Arkansas, where Walmart is headquartered, are living in poverty—higher than any other county in the state. And the city is ranked 15th out of 916 metro areas in terms of income inequality. A 2017 survey of >1,000 Walmart employees found that the company was probably violating the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act. The New York Times said that the company “routinely refuses to accept doctors’ notes, penalizes workers who need to take care of a sick family member and otherwise punishes employees for lawful absences.” A 2013 report found that the U.S. taxpayers were paying $5,000/year per Walmart employee in govt. assistance.

EU legislation intended to fight deforestation has been effectively dismantled
Law’s original author points to removal of obligations for downstream traders to verify origin of commodities

#ClimateDiary i showed this in teaching the other day and it hit me all over again: how on earth did it happen that we all accepted #Profit having equal weight to planet and people? What even is this.
And yes, aware of origin and that now changed to “prosperity”. Also of the 17 UN SDGs etc. But there is no need for listing economic growth at all: planet and people wellbeing alone just fine. But we all accepted capitalism being inserted right into the heart of #sustainability

Funny how that works:
"The wealthy profit from public lands, and taxpayers pick up the tab"
"Roughly two-thirds of grazing on Bureau of Land Management land is controlled by just 10% of permit holders. "

Der Verband reicher #Erben - die sich gerne #Familienunternehmer nennen & deren Familien nicht selten vom #Nationalsozialismus profitierten - rudert nun nach scharfer #Kritik von geplanten Einladungen der #AfD zurück.
Da ich bis 2015 Rechtslibertäre in der #Hayek - Gesellschaft erlebte & wegen deren Verrat am #Liberalismus austrat, habe ich einen Rat: Traut solchen nicht. Für ihren #Profit würden sie #Demokratie & #Menschenwürde dem fossilen #Faschismus opfern. Erneut. https://www.t-online.de/nachrichten/deutschland/innenpolitik/id_101024206/nach-kritik-familienunternehmer-stoppen-oeffnungskurs-zur-afd.html
