#WolffBites: Belgium shows what's coming to us in "the West:" gov't austerity to satisfy nation's creditors = cuts in social welfare. These lead to union strikes then to general strike. How "decllne of the west" plays out.

The crisis of affordability is a crisis of debt. Public goods that should be public and reparative are so costly and expensive that we're going into debt for things that are free in other nations — education, health care, school lunch, expensive rents, even going into debt for our own incarceration.

#WolffBites: Ultra-processed foods are very profitable so they get produced and increasingly eaten despite serious dangers to our health. Another contradiction between how capitalism works and what people need. The system is the problem.

What if “saving the economy” now means sacrificing the conditions for human life?

Andreas Malm explains why the climate’s hard limits force a choice: either we strand fossil assets and shut down extraction or we strand entire regions and peoples.

Prisons are cheap for budgets and the wealthy, brutally costly for the poor and working class.

Fixing crime would mean #taxtherich and funding real security and dignity like housing, healthcare, education, and childcare.
