#bureaucracies — Public Fediverse posts

"On the Frontline of Global #Inequalities: A #Decolonial Approach to the Study of #StreetLevel #Bureaucracies"

is this month's #OpenAccess publication in the spotlight.

Read our interview with author Flávio Eiró on what changes he would advocate for in global #KnowledgeProduction to address inequality.
Does the open science movement sufficiently consider perspectives of the Global South?

If you’re #unemployed, it’s not because there isn’t any #work.

Just look #around: A #housing shortage, #crime, #pollution; we need better #schools and #parks. Whatever #our #needs, they all require work. And as long as we have #unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done.

So #ask #yourself, what kind of #world has work but no jobs? It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the #profit needs of #business.

This #country was not built by the huge #corporations or #government #bureaucracies. It was built by #people who work. And, it is #working people who should #control the work to be done. Yet, as long as #employment is tied to #somebody else’s #profits, the work won’t get done.

@mnl I appreciate concerns about the #fragmentation of the #fediverse. Personally, I like it. I’d never follow as #hashtag on a #monolith. I’d be buried in #noise. Even #birdsite #lists got to be too much; I went back to #RSS. And the fragmentation allows for #selfpolicing and #safeharbors. We’ve already too many examples of how #centralized #bureaucracies are #dysfunctional. So I’m happy to try it this way. Feels more #natural and #oldschool than the monoliths, to me.
