I’m not doing an intro post. You don’t know me and that’s fine. Let’s just all be nice.
I've been working through learning programming, and it's got me in the most confusing state of imposter syndrome where I ostensibly am learning (I'm completing the lessons usually with no assistance) but I have absolutely no confidence whatsoever and don't understand how I'm accomplishing anything.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Does anyone remember what we did pre-smartphones when we were bored and anxious? Like, I keep checking the same three or four things for updates that aren’t coming, and I don’t know what I used to do in these situations. A whole aspect of life, totally lost to me.

I found it interesting because it's yet another reminder that everyone is united in understanding their own needs to live a dignified life.
So much of what we hear today is designed to divide populations and groups, when at the end of the day we all have the same needs and demands of our govts.

Everything is this argument now btw.
Can’t build housing because homeowners will lose wealth.
Can’t raise the minimum wage because prices will increase.
Can’t tax billionaires because they’ll leave.
Can’t regulate AI because it will hurt innovation.
Failure of a system.

The only good thing about Trump is that he’ll just openly say what the ruling class thinks.
Trump: If we build more housing, the price of homes will go down, and homeowners will lose their wealth.

This morning, Instacart announced it will end its use of AI-powered pricing experiments following our report with @moreperfectunion.bsky.social & @consumerreports.org.
BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Everything from the Trump administration has been tied to a mythical culture war.
This strategy only works for a certain amount of time because at some point people realize they still can’t pay rent, afford healthcare, buy more groceries or improve their overall quality of life.

This isn't to say that China's actions in Latin America aren't also for their own interests and can be harmful
But rather to say that one side is very clearly trying to do imperialism 2.0 while the other is at least offering something better
And the West wonders why the Global South chooses China
