"is the process by which financial markets, institutions, and motives gain increasing influence over the broader economy, society, and corporate decision-making. It represents a shift from an industrial economy—where profits are generated primarily by producing goods and services—toward one driven by financial engineering, speculation, and wealth.* Expansionism

Harvesting fruit and vegetables 'in the middle of nowhere': The Pacific Islander farm workers scheme
"With about 30,000 PALM workers in Australia as of October, that equates to about 30 deaths per 100,000 people — more than six times the national average of 4.8 per 100,000."
"Back home, I usually drive for no more than 30 minutes before reaching my destination. Here, I'd drive for hours... after working 12-hour shifts." >>

Wait! I’ve got something for this!
Ever since I heard that AOL’s dial-up service had finally shut down, this song has been playing in my head. I was planning to post it today, but just realized it actually fits today’s #TuneTuesday theme of #WideOpenSpaces. So now it can be playing in your head too!

#TuneTuesday is all about #WideOpenSpaces this time.
What a great opportunity to post one of my favorite songs by #MollyTuttle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-R1r1i4opA&list=RDv-R1r1i4opA&start_radio=1
"Some folks say to stake your claim
And fence it in, but I see it different
Come on out to the big backyard
It ain't mine it ain't yours, it′s all of ours"Strong Woody Guthrie vibes here.
