teoria marxista (e economia imperialista) na prática: a privatização de tudo barateia os produtos de alto valor agregado e que provém de classes e territórios subjugados enquanto encarece o essencial e o que não tem como botar nem fudido nem gente de longe nem trabalhador subqualificado pra fazer
Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3
