Prevalent economic systems throughout the world's history have featured relationships that are oppressive.

Slavery: Master/Slave.

Feudalism: Lord/Serf.

Capitalism: Employer/Employee.

Is there a next step in humanity's economic evolution? How about a relationship where everyone is equal?

Hmm.

Barter. Change your whole life? Not necessary. Change enough to divest from our dependence on the few corporations that, through subsidiaries, own everything from what you wipe your ass with to what you use to wipe your windshield? HELL TO THE YES!

Credit unions are democratic institutions within our economy. They mitigate wealth inequality by reinvesting profits to improve services and lower fees for customers, making banking more accessible and affordable for everyone.

Don't allow greedy for-profit banks to weaken our communities.

We do that by buying differently. Support a citizen owned, citizen run economy. Buy local; farm/ranch direct; from worker owned; from community co-ops; bank at credit unions. Flat capitalism vs pyramidal keeps $ local, longer, & that creates more opportunities.

The GOP wants you to think there are only 2 options: program cuts or economic collapse.

Do. Not. Buy. It.

We can tax the rich and invest in our communities. We can build an economy that delivers for ALL of us. We can dream bigger–and make it real.

Assume maximalist outcomes. You're not being a fatalist nor surrendering. You're being a realist in remembering what they did; in believing what they're saying. If it scares you, then, surrender. Otherwise: be informed & inform others, organize, #DICC, #DICC-DivestInCorporateControl.

Change how we supply our needs as much as possible: buy from local, farm/ranch direct, ethical corporations, worker owned, cooperative owned, bank at credit unions/local banks. Changing corporate control over our livelihoods/lands/resources, changes everything.

We know through data points from several countries that cooperatives display greater rates of survival than conventional business models, which seems to support the idea that the profit motive is not necessarily a requirement to achieve longevity.

One of the main reasons we are where we are--aside from the social/political aspects--is how we provide for our needs.

We are almost wholly dependent on corporations--big ag/pharma/retail--for all our needs.

Change that, change everything.

If people haven't switched from commercial banks to credit unions, complaints about Wall ST are performative.

If people are using links to biased op eds/reporting from WaPo/NYT/LAT/WSJ, drivel about msm is performative.

Better yet--time to work at a company you own, to shop at a store you own, to bank at a bank you own--it's called cooperatives. Asking those who've gotten used to making ~600% more than the front line, since the '70s, to give that up, ain't happening. #DICC #DICC-DivestInCorporateControl

American workers are more than 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s.

But all of the economic gains are going straight to the top.

Workers deserve more.

It’s time for a 32-hour work week with no loss in pay.

When workers earn a living wage, they can lead a life free from constant struggle. The increase in purchasing power boosts business revenues, enabling companies to expand and hire more people to participate in the economy. This creates a positive cycle of growth that raises living standards for all.
Working people deserve a living wage. When workers earn more, they spend more. Business revenues increase, allowing them to expand and hire additional workers. More people are able to enter the workforce and earn money, further increasing the aggregate demand for goods and services in the economy. Both workers and businesses benefit through this positive cycle of economic and job growth. As workers have greater purchasing power, they are able to buy more and healthier goods, supporting a more healthy society that is less reliant on the healthcare system. This frees up resources for doctors and hospitals to treat people more efficiently, further contributing to a healthy population. Contrast this with an economy of workers that earn poverty and slave wages. More of the wealth is funneled to the already rich, who tend to save a greater proportion of their income than those who are poor. Less money is circulating between disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, decreasing their purchasing power and living standards. Businesse revenues decrease, causing a contraction as workers are laid off to compensate for the loss in profit. This is a recessionary cycle that decreases living standards for most people. This occured during the Great Depression and Great Recession. A living wage is moral and logical.
