Bigita is a man who lives in #Kampala, the capital city of #Uganda, but he owns miles of land in Kyankwanzi District. At one point, he refused to allow the electricity company to install power poles on his land.
As a result, many communities beyond his large property have been left without electricity until now.
I don't know if maybe the actions of some #capitalists are well known by the government officials. 🥺

Fixing the Climate Crisis
"According to the article: “But what all these efforts have in common is that to their many detractors, the very idea of sucking all this carbon out of the air is a diversion from the far more urgent task of radically cutting carbon dioxide emissions to begin with… More than 500 environmental groups, for instance, have signed a petition urging U.S. and Canadian leaders to ‘abandon the dirty, dangerous might of CCS,’ or carbon capture and storage, a major form of carbon removal. The petition blasts the concept as ‘a dangerous distraction driven by the same big polluters who created the climate emergency.” This criticism is directed at ExxonMobil, Chevron, and others claiming they will clean up the carbon problem. It is believed this same ruse will be front and center at COP28, the UN climate conference, to be held in Dubai, the heartbeat of fossil fuels, in a few weeks."

There are others, but these six books explain why (if #WeThePeople truly want life, liberty and happiness as citizens of the USA), we must replace our current form of government with one that prioritizes #LifeOverProperty.
1) The basic structure of the US government makes democracy impossible.
"We the Elites", By Robert Ovetz explains how the US constitution protects property FROM democracy.
#RepresentativeDemocracyIsNeither
2) Money is Power Corporate/Oligarch money completely undermines the people's power.
"Dark Money", by Jane Meyer explains the role of dark money in electoral politics.
"The Business of America is Lobbying", by Lee Drutman explains how money effects legislation.
3) Law and Enforcement
"Supreme Inequality" by Adam Cohen exposes the anti-democratic and pro-capital bent of the Supreme Court.
"Our Enemies in Blue" by Kristian Williams the power of the police state.
"Rise of the Warrior Cop" By Radly Balko exposes the radical militarization of policing in America.

This is how capitalism works: Privatize profits, socialize cost, while using ecosystems as dumping grounds for toxic waste.

#FridaysForFuture in Frankfurt blockiert (vermutlich eher symbolisch) ja morgen die Zeil ganz konsumkritisch. Ich ertappte mich bei dem Gedanken "Ah wie praktisch, kann ich gleich im Anschluss Geschenke kaufen gehen!" #SystemChangeNow
