View attachment 199865

if capitalism is so voluntary, whats all the collective bargaining struggles about.

bernie sanders was pushing worker coops at the beginning of his campaign.

in capitalism profits are frequently pursued at the expense of workers and the environment. UPS is a prime example.

workers and capitalists have different agendas so theres always struggle.

There's a 95% chance that you and your investments are exposed to this dangerous bubble. You need to take radical action one way or another, or you will lose your shirt when this monster implodes:

The stock market is more inflated than it was before the 1929 crash and Depression. Your investments are at risk and most investment firms have no clue how to navigate the coming storm. Contact us so that we can help…

That is a very skewed chart. You can’t compare today’s market with 1929. An S and P P/E chart would be more realistic. But still not comparable to 1929 or even prior to 1980. Yes the P/E ratios will come down in a cyclical recession.

There are many struggles in a co op. Very few, if any, can agree on everything. You are never going to get everything you want.

Chomsky Quotes‏ @quotes_chomsky 9h9 hours ago




By the time Britain had achieved double the capitalisation of every other country in the world by force & violence it thought free trade was a great idea because it was going to win. If you are not going to win, forget about it and impose it on the weak - not yourself.

With inaccurate comparisons. It’s not an instability just because you can’t compete.

Clueless much?

for people who arent inheriting anything, the middle class is essentially dead in my city. you can expect to spend at least half of your income on rent or mortgage. an immigrant from india was saying to me `why did i choose canada``. he was saying he shoulda gone to australia.

another guy at my work is talking about leaving for a cheaper city.

I understand the ups and downs. Many companies can’t hire enough people. They are forced to hire less qualified people. There is hope for you. A couple years ago you had no chance.

My mortgage is about 29% of my guaranteed income. And goes down every year.
