    #NeoLiberals will do what neoliberals do… sell the Sate to private enterprise. They’re such #Grifting hypocrites, because I refuse to believe that they do not know that #StateCapture is harmful to society.

    #Privatisation has never, in written history, benefited society and only leads to degradation of services and eventual parlous state requiring public bailouts… meanwhile #TheRich have sucked all the $$$ out of it in the process. This is a familiar merry-go-round, seen before, seeing it again, and unless things change we’ll see it again… the great golden goose that never fails to deliver to the top end of town.

    I kind of agree with you, about the controling aspects of the #FossilFuelLobby. On the other hand, if not for fossil fuel, there would be other lobbies seeking #StateCapture. It is in the #moneyedClass interest to excert as much influence as money can buy after all. Remember the Tabacco Lobbies of yore? Same thing. Today we can also point to the #GamblingIndustry and increasingly #DefenceIndustries.

    Unfortunately, with power comes #Greed and #Corruption and #TheRich like it that way. All we can do is stay one step behind our #Leaders ensuring we don’t fall too far back. And the only way to do that is through the ballot box, consistent activism and community-led campaigns (including petitions, protest sit-ins/marches and boycotts, etc.).

    I’m hopeful that consistent messaging by communities eventually cuts through to polies and that our govt (of whatever ilk) will eventually push back against #Zionism and its growing influence in everyday Australian social life because it is so egregious atm.

    Also more peeps ought to have a good long think about it all and take a moral and ethical stand vis a vis #Gaza, #WestBank #Lebanon, etc. not much help if peeps keep watching #FoxFakeNews and similar #Cronies IMO.

    In the grand scheme of things, we need to break up #Oligarchies , #Oligopolies and get serious about progressive #TaxReform.

  11. Had a #dream in which #theRich were in fantastic machines, automobiles of all kinds. They were asleep, crashing into everything. Homes, businesses, each other, and people, all crushed in their careless rolling around. Sometimes, even one of them was sacrificed to the accidents playing out, but mostly it was everyday people walking around being ground up by crashing vehicles, all while the drivers slept.

    It is time to wake them up and tear them out of their machinery.

    Nichts Schöneres als sich als Arbeiter*in die Beine in giftiger Lauge zu verätzen, während man die eigenen #Verbrechen vor der Presse abplant.

    All hail King whatshisname and the new total inviolability of #TheRich.

    #Trump lately begann publicly thinking about raising #taxes (even for #TheRich) waaay before he was actually done lowering taxes for the rich.

    Guy lives somewhat in the #future, it seems.

    A future where the #USA has finally lost it's credit ratings & the #budget is exploding without any hope to regain control, that is. A Theresa May future.

  25. #StudentLoans in default to be referred to #DebtCollection, #EducationDepartment says

    By ANNIE MA, April 21, 2025

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "The Education Department will begin collection next month on student loans that are in default, including the garnishing of wages for potentially millions of borrowers, officials said Monday.

    "Currently, roughly 5.3 million borrowers are in default on their federal student loans.

    "The Trump administration ’s announcement marks an end to a period of leniency that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. No federal student loans have been referred for collection since March 2020, including those in default. Under President Joe Biden, the Education Department tried multiple times to give broad forgiveness of student loans, only to be stopped by courts.

    " 'American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies,' #EducationSecretary #LindaMcMahon said.

    "Beginning May 5, the department will begin involuntary collection through the Treasury Department’s offset program, which withholds government payments — including tax refunds, federal salaries and other benefits — from people with past-due debts to the government.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "The Education Department will begin collection next month on student loans that are in default, including the garnishing of wages for potentially millions of borrowers, officials said Monday.

    "Currently, roughly 5.3 million borrowers are in default on their federal student loans.

    "The Trump administration ’s announcement marks an end to a period of leniency that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. No federal student loans have been referred for collection since March 2020, including those in default. Under President Joe Biden, the Education Department tried multiple times to give broad forgiveness of student loans, only to be stopped by courts.

  38. CW: Audre Lorde on taxes

    The masters tools will never dismantle the masters house.

  39. I'm no expert but Austerity doesn't seem to grow anything except poverty, inequality, and the bank accounts of the very richest (likely off shore to avoid tax on the interest). Certainly not economies.

  40. While going through work's mandatory anti-bribery training I've noticed one thing. What's considered bribery and very illegal for us plebs is ok and considered standard operating procedure for high-ranking gov. officials, the Supreme Court, large corporations, and the rich.
