Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment
Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Six prisoners for Palestine are nearing their *fourth week* on hunger strike.
They are facing two years on remand without trial. They demand bail, a fair trial, an end to counter-terror powers used on protesters and the deproscription of Palestine Action
