Was dieser Mann in dem Video erzählt, das sind die Lügen der "Cure Autism Industry", wenn ich das mal so nennen darf.

I've always been interested in politics, and learning about different political systems while living in different countries has been really neat. These days though, politics mostly leave me with a heavy heart.

Danke @querbr.bsky.social für euren Beitrag bzgl Entlohnung in den Werkstätten für behinderte Menschen.

Verbraucher*innen wollen, Transparenz + Klarheit. Die Menschen in den Werkstätten, die gute Arbeit leisten, möchten, dafür fair bezahlt werden, Rechte erhalten, was auch Wertschätzung bedeutet.
