A trillion dollars is so obscene our minds can’t even grasp it. Even if you spent $1 million/day, it would take you almost 3,000 years to burn through $1 trillion. No one “earns” that. No one “works” for that. And no one, and I mean no one, needs that.
If someone works full-time and receives SNAP, that means your taxpayer dollars are subsidizing the company's profits bc it refuses to pay them a livable wage.
This can only be said so many ways; it isn’t difficult to grasp.
Terroristivaltio israel on tehnyt tänään yli 100 ilmaiskua Gazaan. Tämän lisäksi avustustoimitukset keskeytetään jälleen.
Tämä on räikeä rikkomus tulitaukosopimukselle. Sen lisäksi se on jälleen yksi sotarikos.
israel ei lopeta, ellei sitä laiteta lopettamaan.
Velkajarrusta tärkeä vertailu, millaista sopeutusta se edellyttää suhteessa EU:n sääntöihin. VM:n laskelmien perusteella sopeutusvaatimus jo EU-säännöillä erittäin suurta 6-12 mrd e (vrt. Orpo 4 mrd e) ja velkajarrusta vielä 3 mrd e lisäsopeutusta. 😬

Työajan lyhentämisestä jälleen vakuuttavia tuloksia, tällä kertaa Hollannista. Nyt olisi korkea aika Suomessakin harkita lyhyempää työaikaa tuottavuuden parantamiseksi ja työttömyyden sulattamiseksi.

It’s not a CEASEFIRE if Israel keeps FIRING AND KILLING PALESTINIANS.
If one Israeli was killed, they would say the ceasefire is broken.
But dozens of Palestinians can be killed, including children, and no Western leaders or headlines call it what it is.
This is simply racism.
Israel tortured and sexually humiliated Greta Thunberg.
Some excerpts from her interview with the Swedish paper Aftonblatet:
"They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me."
"They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me."
"They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. ‘A special place for a special lady’, they said. And then they had learned ‘Lilla hora’ (Little whore) and ‘Hora Greta’ (Whore Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time."
In the corner where Greta was sitting, the police placed a flag.
"The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted ‘Don’t touch the flag’ and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that."
"They were thrown to the ground and beaten. But I could only see it out of the corner of my eye, because every time I lifted my head from the ground, I was kicked by the guard standing next to me."
Greta was then taken into a building to be searched and undressed. "The guards have no empathy or humanity, and they keep taking selfies with me. There’s a lot I don’t remember. So much is happening at once. You’re in shock. You’re in pain, but you go into a state of trying to stay calm."
Outside, she was forced to take off her clothes again, she says. "It was mockery, rough handling, and everything was filmed. Everything they do is extremely violent."
"It was so hot, like 40 degrees. We begged the whole time: Can we have water? Can we have water? In the end, we screamed. The guards walked in front of the bars the whole time, laughing and holding up their water bottles. They threw the bottles with water in them into the trash cans in front of us."
"When people fainted, we banged on the cages and asked for a doctor. Then the guards came and said, ‘We’re going to gas you.’ It was standard for them to say that."
"This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors."
Thunberg says the Swedish government greatly downplayed the abuse she and her fellow Sumud Flotilla activists suffered, and wouldn't even bring them water.
"We were together and told them about the treatment we received. About the lack of food, water, about the abuse. The torture. We showed them the physical injuries we had – bruises and scratches. We gave them all our contact details – I gave them my father's number and the number of our contact in the organization. We were clear: everything we say now must be released to the media."
"They didn’t do anything, they just said: ’Our job is to listen to you. We are here and you are entitled to consular support.’"
"We said over and over again: we need water. And they saw that the guards had water bottles. The embassy staff said: ’We’ll make a note of that.’ One of us, Vincent, said: ’Next time we meet you, you must bring water.’
Then it took two days before the embassy staff showed up again.
"They didn't bring any water, except for a small bottle of their own that was half empty. Vincent, who was in the worst shape, got to drink it. We kept asking the guards, 'Can we have some water?' but they just walked around with their water bottles and didn't answer."
"I said, 'Are you going to leave us like this? If you leave now, they will beat us up.' But they just kept walking."
When Aftonbladet compares emails sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to relatives, with what the captives describe telling embassy staff, it becomes clear that the seriousness of the situation has been downplayed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes the scene at the port, where Greta Thunberg was beaten for hours, as follows: “She told us about harsh treatment and that she had been sitting on a hard surface for a long time.”
On Saturday, several media outlets published testimonies that Greta had been subjected to torture.
Aftonbladet has spoken to three other members of the flotilla who largely confirm what Greta Thunberg says and who have all experienced various types of abuse and humiliation. We have also spoken to relatives. Everyone is highly critical of how the Swedish embassy staff acted.
Väite ”raskaat sopeutukset ovat edessä ja välttämättömiä” ei ole mikään luonnonlaki — se on poliittinen linjaus ja valinta
Ja sitä hoetaan koska Orpon hallitus loi massatyöttömyyden ja tappoi kotimaisen kysynnän ja teki velan oton Suomen ennätyksen
Orpon hallitus kusi talouden
Orpon leikkauksien ja surkean talouspolitiikan myötä Suomi on pudonnut 2 vuodessa ennätystyöllisyydestä ennätystyöttömyyteen, vaikka EU nauttii kokonaisuutena historian korkeimmasta työllisyydestä
Jos oikeiston politiikka toimisi
meillä olisi vahva työllisyys EU:n nousukaudella
#Velkajarru paha virhe. Se antaisi valtiovarainministeriölle yksinvaltiuden päättää sopeutustoimien hyväksyttävyydestä, vaikka VM:n uskottavuus hävinnyt siunaamalla veronkevennysten dynaamisen taikaseinän ja aliarvioimalla pahasti sopeutuksen haittoja.

BREAKING! “Ceasefire”, in Israel’s dictionary: you cease, I fire.
Just hours after the deal - as in January - Israel shoots at Palestinians waiting to return home.
Before any next step, member states must ensure that Israel honours the ceasefire.
Global Sumud Flotilla activist Sena Polat refused to sign a document stating “I entered Israel without permission, I accept to be deported,” and therefore has not been released.
Sena Polat has started a hunger strike in the prison where she is being held unlawfully.
We stand in solidarity with this brave woman.
Tämä on yksi maan suurimmista epäkohdista:
Kela-lääkärit katsovat potilasta näkemättä ja toisten lääkärien ja moniammatillisen kuntoutuspolin lausunnoista huolimatta monet ihmiset terveeksi ja työkykyiseksi.
