They still made more than The Stranger interns.

All this talk of privatizing public resources is what this extraction of wealth from the commons is all about. We are in the end stage of a monopoly game and the people are coming out the losers. Until we change the composition of Congress and the Presidency, this is unlikely to change.
Just my opinion.

@2 - I suspect there could be multiple change-factors that would upset (or at least, destabilize) this greedy "money-mining" project the capitalist sociopaths are running. Possibly several factors at once (some still unknown to us), which may have a multiplier effects on each other. It's almost impossible to say. In social and civilization developments, things can seem completely impossible... until suddenly they aren't, and then things happen.

I propose we continue to "seed the ground" with good ideas and egalitarian social structures, so that as many people as possible are aware of them now. Direct democracy, Instant-Runoff Voting, horizontal networks, community ownership models, 'complementary currencies', co-operatives, "economic democracy," self-defense, and many others.

Once things start to shift, the more people that are already aware of these pro-social objectives and have the common languages to talk how to get there, will help us be able to organize and get straight to working on those objectives when things change. As opposed to losing the advantage by trying to figure out what to do in a suddenly shifting socio-political climate.

In short, talk about the goals now, so we can take advantage of the opportunities when they come.

a state apparatus that has taken the form of a corporate raider. Value, where ever it can be found, is extracted.
Indeed, this is basically the colonialist/empire mind-set and program... only it has now come home to the metropole, and is eating it's own children.

Empire karma's a bitch.

The 1-in-10 number brings to mind the word "decimate", which also pairs well with the Empire-in-collapse subtheme.

I'm curious if Disney hires homeless people (who might not be hirable for other jobs), or they became homeless while employed at Disney (because they are paid shitty wages with shitty and unpredictable schedules)?

If they truly are "Homeless", why do they keep working there? It's not like they have to worry about rent. 'Can't afford food', c'mon. Who's gonna believe that shit? No food? why work there? No food? why you still alive? why you still work there?

It is CM after all. He rants Disney this, Disney that. But, I bet he wishes he had a handful of Disney Stock. Worth lots of $$$.

Please wait...

and remember to be decent to everyone
all of the time.
