  6. #Iran #Krieg #Profit #Rüstung #Kapitalismus

    Krieg ist urkapitalistisch. Eine kleine Gruppe von Investoren in Rüstung profitieren massiv, daher lohnt sich das Geschäft, denn die entstehenden Schäden an Mensch, Unwelt und Klima trägt wie immer nicht der Profiteur, sondern die Bevölkerung.

    "Für den VKU steht außer Frage, dass die öffentliche Wasserversorgung Vorrang vor anderen Nutzungen haben muss. "Das wertvolle Tiefengrundwasser muss für künftige Generationen und als Notreserve der öffentlichen Wasserversorgung bewahrt werden", betont der Verband. Ihm zufolge sollte ein Unternehmen nur Wasser fördern dürfen, wenn klar ist, dass die öffentliche Versorgung dadurch langfristig nicht gefährdet ist."

  8. Indem auch in Deutschland das Gemeingut Grundwasser von wenigen Konzernen billig „privatisiert“ und teuer weiterverkauft wird, trägt auch hier der Konzern-Fossilismus zu Überreichtum weniger & der Not vieler bei.

    „Während die Flüsse austrocknen und die Grundwasserspiegel sinken, zapfen Konzerne Grundwasser oft fast kostenlos an. Ein Streit um eine der wertvollsten Ressourcen der Welt.“ (2/2)

  9. A quotation from Bastiat

    At least let no one argue that, because an abuse cannot be suppressed without injuring those who profit from it, the fact that it has existed for a time gives it the right to last forever.
     
    [À moins qu’on ne prétende que, parce qu’un abus ne peut être détruit sans froisser ceux qui en profitent, il suffit qu’il existe un moment pour qu’il doive durer toujours.]

    Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) French philosopher, economist, politician
    Economic Sophisms [Sophismes Économiques], 1st Series, ch. 20 “Human Labor, National Labor [Travail Humain, Travail National]” (1845) [tr. Goddard (1964)]

  11. If you, as a person owning and operating a business, manage to bankrupt said business in an industry where the common, accepted business model is "People walk in and give you their money, and hope that you give some of it back when they leave" [1], then you are not a business person.

    You are a clown with capital.

    [1] Casinos have always operated on this model. They tend to be quite profitable.

    #Ferien? Na gut, werden aber nicht genommen, so wie in #Japan
    #VOLKSLOHN - gleicher #Mindestlohn für ALLE Arbeitnehmenden! Tschüss #Neiddebatte, #Lohnunterschiede, #Anreize. Wir arbeiten doch gerne!
    #Gewerkschaft/en verbieten!

    #Sozialhilfe, #Bürgergeld, #Kindergeld, gesetzliche #Krankenversicherung? weg! #Eigenverantwortung!
    ● Gewürzt mit noch mehr #Rassismus, #Hass und #Abschottung... voilà!

    ● Beamt*innen bleiben außen vor, weil die würden auf die #Barrikaden gehen...

    ... was da an #Profit für #Wirtschaft und #Börse drin wäre, ohne so nervige soziale #Verantwortung, die offene #Sklaverei und #Leibeigenschaft mit sich brächten ;)

    Vielleicht springt die rückratlose #SPD noch ein und hilft wieder?

  13. 😆

    So, #Trump has announced this via a toot:

    "Our great Mortgage Agencies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, provide a vital service to our Nation by helping hardworking Americans reach the American Dream — Home Ownership. I am working on TAKING THESE AMAZING COMPANIES PUBLIC, but I want to be clear, the U.S. Government will keep its implicit GUARANTEES, and I will stay strong in my position on overseeing them as President."

    Translation:

    1. Fannie and Freddie will become ordinary commercial corporations, with owners, profit & loss statements, stockholders and analysts' ROI expectations, and all the crap that follows from that.

    2. They will be expected to generate significant profits for their new, private owners.

    3. There will be zero risk to the private owners, because the government will still backstop the mortgages that Fannie & Freddie underwrite.

    Analysis: this is creating exactly the same incentive structure that resulted in the subprime mortgage meltdown of 2007-2008: they make money off every mortgage written, regardless of how risky it is, and they don't have to carry the risk themselves, so there's no reason to ensure the credit-worthiness of the applicants.

    Prediction: in 5 years, or 10 years, an even bigger mortgage bubble will pop, leaving utter devastation. And the government will bail the bankers and private equity out, with the public's tax dollars.

  15. #Degrowth and the Unmaking of #Capitalism

    By Giuseppe Feola, Olga Koretskaya, originally published by Degrowth.info
    December 7, 2020

    "Our societies are facing multiple interconnected challenges, which include #ClimateEmergency, an unprecedented loss of #biodiversity, growing #inequality and #PlasticPollution. What connects these challenges is the underlying capitalist economic model, which prioritizes #profit-making over #wellbeing and requires endless #EconomicGrowth simply to stay afloat.

    "Degrowth offers an alternative vision – it is a project of urgent and fundamental transformation. Degrowth requires reimagining our societies from the perspective of being profit-centred to being wellbeing-centred. This approach distinguishes degrowth from other, more compromising visions of transformation, such as ‘green growth’. But how can society transition towards degrowth?

    "One idea that has become prominent in thinking about such a transition is that of ‘#decolonization of the imaginary’, a concept developed by Serge Latouche. This concept signals the need for a disruption of taken-for-granted ways of seeing the world, and their associated practices, rules and social norms. Decolonization of the imaginary questions deeply rooted beliefs about who we are, how we live, and about our place in this world. Are we merely self-interested individuals or are we also care-oriented members of communities? To what extent do technology and #consumption contribute to human wellbeing? Does our constantly expansive economy threaten human communities and the natural world?

    "Decolonization of the imaginary has been an inspirational idea for scholars and activists alike. Yet, it alone seems to be insufficient to take us to fully grasping the depth of disruptions of capitalism that have been produced by initiatives such as transition towns, #permaculture farms, and #RepairCafes. Decolonization of the imaginary emphasises the symbolic dimensions of social change but it underplays the material dimensions of such change. It is also usually understood as an end point, and hence fails to help us to recognize – and learn about – what happens along the way.

    "How can we think about the processes by which disruptions of capitalism occur in broader, deeper and more dynamic ways? Is it possible for us to better capture what is going on in concrete initiatives?

    "In a recent article, Giuseppe Feola proposes that we think about the disruption of capitalism in terms of ‘#unmaking’. He suggests that an unmaking of capitalism is not only necessary, but possibly pre-conditional for a transformation of the magnitude and nature required by degrowth. ‘Unmaking’ refers to individual or collective actions of disengagement or active deconstructions of existing capitalist systems that ‘make space’ for alternatives. Such actions could take the form of a personal decision to limit consumption or to quit a high-paying job at an #OilCorporation. Unmaking can also be recognized in a #CommunityFarm that refuses to submit to market pressure to expand production and instead turns to a #CommunitySupported model to sustain itself."

  16. @TwraSun #Deutschland hat ein Problem weil es die Bedürfnisbefriedigung seiner Leute über den #Markt regelt. Dieser die #Bedürfnisse seiner Leute als Mittel zum Zweck von #Profit benutzt. On top, diese Märkte in Nationalstaaten gegeneinander konkurrieren, was übernationale Probleme wie #Klima unlösbar macht. Dieser Markt ist über eine Politische #Herrschafft durchgesetzt, deren Untertanen ihre Regierung selber wählen und denken die Probleme kämen vom falschen Personal.

  17. A recent study suggests that #consciousness evolved primarily to enhance #socialinteractions, #communication, and the sharing of #ideas and #emotions, rather than solely for individual survival. This view implies that human consciousness is fundamentally intertwined with #socialcooperation and #collective #wellbeing.

    #Capitalism, on the other hand, is an economic system that prioritises private ownership, profit maximisation, and market competition. While it can drive innovation and economic growth, it does not inherently prioritise social well-being. In practice, capitalism leads to wealth #inequality, #exploitation, and #environmental degradation if unchecked, because the primary motive is #profit rather than #socialgood.

    The apparent disconnect between the social purpose of consciousness and the often individualistic nature of capitalism raises important questions about how our economic systems align with our evolved #socialnature. If consciousness and social cooperation are deeply connected, it suggests that economic systems should also promote collective well-being and equitable resource distribution. Balancing the strengths of capitalism with robust social policies and ethical considerations might be necessary to create a system that better reflects the social aspects of human consciousness.
