Is This Anything?

Mankind has mastered interplanetary travel, and has colonies on most of the planets in our system.

However! The Rich can afford to travel in stasis, while The Poor have to travel normally. So on the other planets, there's a clear visual delineation between those in power and the help - grey hair and an aged face.

On https://miaaw.net today (and for the next week) sound artist and composer Simon James reflects on his recent project with young people in Whitehawk, initiated as part of the Class Divide campaign – fighting against the educational attainment gap in East Brighton.

Sounds recorded during workshops, both on the Whitehawk housing estate and on an adjacent archaeological site, formed part of the exhibition Neolithic Cannibals: Deep Listening to the Unheard. Neolithic Cannibals recreated the Neolithic Camp – a place of communion, celebration, and ritual – as a compassionate listening space inviting audiences to discover Whitehawk’s richness, joy, playfulness, and hope, empowering local voices through rarely explored sonic expressions.

Simon discusses the process of the project with Hannah Kemp-Welch, and describes how listening played a central part throughout it. That's because it forms part of the Ways of Listening series :blobcheeky:

Hurricane Otis destroyed many health centres in rural communities around Acapulco. Others are closed due to a lack of staff and supplies. NGOs like Medical Impact have stepped in.

"Often ranked among the world’s most violent, the municipality has more people in extreme poverty than any other in Mexico."

The 2023 #EdelmanTrustBarometer is the firm’s 23rd annual #trust and #credibility survey. The 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer online survey sampled more than 32,000 respondents across 28 countries. A lack of faith in societal institutions triggered by #EconomicAnxiety, #disinformation, mass #ClassDivide and a #failure of #leadership has brought us to where we are today – deeply and dangerously #polarized. https://www.edelman.be/sites/g/files/aatuss331/files/2023-03/2023%20Edelman%20Trust%20Barometer%20Global%20Report%20Region_EUROPE_FINAL_WEBSITE.pdf #poverty #ecomony #government #politics #society #media #polarization

If you’re fretting about the economy and world affairs you have lots of company… “Household wealth optimism collapses, global survey shows: Such anxieties reflect deep uncertainty about the state of the global #economy as the #Ukraine war continues and central #banks hike their lending rates to tame inflation. The World Bank on Tuesday warned it could tip into #recession this year”

Them and Us: The class divide this Christmas | Socialist Appeal

The super-rich are set to enjoy a bumper lavish Christmas. Whilst they struggle to spend their vast fortunes, the rest of us are struggling with a cost-of-living catastrophe. After a year of growing class struggle, we look forward to a red 2023.

I am watching #BreakingTheGlassCeiling. The show itself it not very good (the presentation is quite boring).

But also, the issue - the #ClassDivide in the UK for so many areas of business - is so crucial. The system is fundamentally broken. So many areas of our society are explicitly and deliberately closed to those from poorer backgrounds, with non-posh accents, without the family connections.

It sucks big time.

Its not difficult to spot policies that produce #inequality.

Last year, we called out #JobKeeper at its inception in #Australia, highlighting it was a #scam entrenching the #classDivide by giving bigger #welfarePayments to those who were well-paid prePandemic.

We called out the policies, others too, but our voices were drowned out by #corporateState.

Finally now #Australian #legacyMedia report that, of the businesses that got extreme welfare, 53% didn't need it.
