  • The interest rate isn’t at near-zero anymore so instead of growing with insane leverage, they’re trying to keep the juicy profit margins going by cutting while still raising prices as much as they can. Squeeze is a very apt term here because us peasants are getting squeezed every which way. When the fumes run out from the post-covid squeeze, the decline will accelerate. Government and corporate coffers are getting raided by the rich on the way out.




  • Ooh, a statement. Well that’s all she, or anyone else who supports Palestinians getting to stay alive and in their homes can do now.

    What was she doing while running for president? She couldn’t give a proper statement even then, just weasel words that clearly still showed support for israel. Words are all democrats ever have while they continue to kneel to the oligarchy (or be part of the oligarchy themselves).

    the side that wants Israel to take both Gaza and the West Bank and violently remove all the residents there

    Funny that you think this sentiment is contained to only one of the two major parties in the US. Their actions speak otherwise.









  • That’s true, but it can also be used in reverse as a pacifying mechanism. For example, contributing to making the US the most incarcerated population in the world with ridiculously strict “tough on crime” legislation and then pardoning a small fraction of prisoners. Another example is forcing student loan debt to stick around through bankruptcy, but then forgiving a tiny fraction of loans. It’s a move to pretend change is in motion, but it’s so small and so slow that it’s never going to actually solve the problem. This is especially bad when the other party makes such huge moves in the negative direction while we’re supposed to be content with tiny steps toward “progress”.
