  • How is him amassing wealth for himself not useful to him?... He probably thinks it's very useful to himself.

    So the question of what's really being said, or rather asked for, needs better articulation.

    This is actually about setting maximum wealth limits, and then having a communal purpose for the "accursed share" as that one philosopher put it, in his economics.

    The point is, a failure of articulation is a failure to communicate. But really is this something that can even be asked for, or is revolutionary action required?

    We at least (even before revolution) need to not just know what's useless in a negative sense (eg. Not useful) but we also and more importantly need to know what's useful?

    Then you hit morality and ethics. Which end up being the guardrails of any society.

    ‘Copied the MAGA model’: The ‘grassroots’ lobby group funded by some of Australia’s richest

  • "I’ll never forget, I turned to Mr. Brown, one of the Browns made this crack (that Unarco managers were a bunch of fools for notifying employees who had asbestosis), and I said, ‘Mr. Brown, do you mean to tell me you would let them work until they dropped dead?’ He said, ‘Yes. We save a lot of money that way.’"

    From an article quoting Lewis H Brown, corporate owner of an Asbestos Company, and ALSO the Founder of The American Enterprise Institute, a Conservative 'Think Tank' which pushed anti-trans rhetoric to help get Trump elected.

  • When referencing news media in this way, it's important to actually include the name of the publication or source so that people can go verify it themselves. You're not leaving them in a no mans land of uncertainty, unsure of what's true or not, and not opening yourself up to accusations of dishonesty or spreading misinformation.

    In this case, and in others referencing print and written media, the name of the publication, title of the article, and the date it apprared would be included.

    So it would be by Steff Chavez, published in The Financial Times, on Jan 15 2025 (the title of the article is redundant information as it appears in the comic).

    Optionally a link people can visit might be handy:

    https://www.ft.com/content/973421a3-c96a-4038-96c6-725af5aa6124

    That way you're showing people what the political reality is for certain, rather than leaving them in doubt or uncertain about what was actually published. But also, it keeps you honest too.

  • Still don't understand why these comics get ao many downvotes, this one us clearly about qhen "Radical Centrists" and free market liberals who claim to be leftwing compromise with faacists and right wing nutters.

    What fediverse service is the best messenger replacement?

    Does Friendica for instances, have something like Facebook Messenger going on? What would be the best for real time communication on both phone and desktop?

    Feels like the media softened this story.
