Can’t have economic drivers in City of Toronto’s control. 🤦

Rebuilding the NDP starts with setting direction via the leadership election. I think both frontrunners offer visions that would prove popular with a significant portion of Canadians. For now it’s Carney’s vision that dominates the conversation and it’s proving popular in the absence of a better one, while keeping whatever the fuck PP’s selling on the shelf.

This is a good example for how democracy under capitalism tends to serve the interests of the Epstein class above the rest of us.

Here it’s us, real people rage-baiting you on employer time!

Sounds almost like we work for the same company. 😂 Perhaps they all lifted this statement from the same consultancy contractor.

Am in automotive and there’s definitely some of that. Much more so than in other industries I’ve worked. With that said, it’s a losing battle against the value proposition of AI. We’re getting AI use mandated on us.

As always, things have to get worse before action is taken that addresses the material conditions leading to these problems, with people suffering and dying in the process.

This is so fucking sad on every level… 😔

The only way for us to not “do this to ourselves” is to form unions. Otherwise we aren’t driving the decisions on what is used and what’s prioritized at all.

Comrade Krasnov’s plan all along!

True but they can’t escape the coming inflation wave. As fossil fuel supply thru the strait decreases, intl buyers would seek to buy from other sources, bidding up prices everywhere. That includes American producers who’d gladly export instead of feeding the domestic demand. This could change if the US gov’t decides to move away from free markets and imoses export and price controls.

I miss this little bastard making the local news.

If they’re unable to reopen the strait, perhaps they can force Trump to halt attacking Iran by stopping their own fossil fuel production. Something oil embargo.

And what caused the mass withrawal?

Yes, that’s a part of why he’s getting it.

They weren’t losing. They were richer than ever before with leves of wealth inequality just recently matched. Then capitalism collapsed under the weight of that inequality into the Great Depression. Their winnings lead to collapse as they accumulated ever more resources that become unavailable to the people producing those resources. Then the cycle of accumulation and the power that comes with it started again. Antitrust got killed at one point. Unions were being killed before that. They used religion too but they were already beginning to win power again.

Combine that with the sharp pain this is about to bring:

A peaceful, unsanctioned Iran isn’t on the cards as far as Israel is concerned.

Perhaps the contradictions between Israel’s interest and Trump’s voter base’s would finally reach a breaking point and the US would slap Israel and ragequit the war?

Excellent, thank you!
