England is still living off this wealth today and every English person living today is living off the spoils of stolen wealth

[chugging pilk at 2am and getting a tummy ache @GASLIGHTER_]

I usually don't bother with this but the pride I see from American "communists" at a socdem being allowed to turn the fischerprice playset knobs of local policy in a city which is still the center of financial banking that squeezes blood out of every worker's bones is pathetic.

The United States is a capitalist plantation run by 1,000 billionaires who oversee 200 million broke workers with the assistance of 20 million millionaires who provide cover.

This is nothing to celebrate.

Capitalism has stopped talking about the future because it can’t deliver a future. It has stopped history nothing new will be made just rebooted and keeps us Ina holding pattern of nostalgia and Disney engineered perpetual childhood identity This alienation is profitable

Health spending in the US had grown 7.3% in 2025 to a whopping $5.7 trillion. This is the 3rd straight year that growth has been above 7%.

Spending is projected to approach $9 trillion by 2034, at which point healthcare will devour 20.6% of the entire U.S. economy.

Where are the conservatives clutching their pearls to ask how are we going to afford that?

Their bullshit "argument" against universal healthcare this entire time is that we can't afford it, and yet... here we are spending a massive $5.7 trillion per year (and climbing) on a for-profit system full of middlemen like private hospital shareholders, insurers, drug firms, billing contractors, and administrative overhead.

Americans are dying because of this scam.

The village board in Glen Carbon, Illinois unanimously approved of $11.7 million in bonds to finance a new water treatment plant.

The total cost will be about $21 million.

This water treatment plant is expected to process up to 3 million gallons of water per day, allowing them to produce their own drinking water independently instead of relying on outside wholesale providers.

I'm very happy for these people.

Investing in public water infrastructure is a strong way for a community to exercise collective power. It frees a town from the grips of private utility companies and gives them more control over their own destiny.

A lot of US communities rely on outside wholesale providers for drinking water. In these cases, the community owns the local pipe network, but the actual water supply and initial treatment belong to an outside provider.

Revolutions are made by people who have done the math and concluded they have nothing left to protect.

The genius of late capitalism is that it never lets the math resolve that cleanly.

You have debt, yes, but you also have a 401k, small, underfunded, but real.

You have a mortgage that owns more of the house than you do, but it's still called "your house."

You have a job that could disappear tomorrow, but hasn't yet.

You have healthcare tied to that job, fragile, contingent, but present.

Every one of these is a small leash.

Not strong enough to make you safe.

Strong enough to make you cautious.

You're not trapped by chains.

You're trapped by a thousand small tethers, each one too minor to revolt over, all of them together heavy enough that you never do.

Ask yourself why the people one paycheck from disaster are often the most ferocious defenders of the system that put them one paycheck from disaster.

It's not irrational.

It's the last available source of dignity.

If the system is fundamentally broken, fundamentally rigged, fundamentally indifferent to whether you live or die, then the years you spent believing in it, working within it, sacrificing for it, were wasted.

Worse than wasted.

They were the actions of someone who didn't see what was obvious.

That is a very hard thing for a person to accept about their own life.

It is easier, psychologically, emotionally, in every way that matters in the moment, to defend the system than to accept that you gave decades of your life to something that was never going to give anything back.

The defense isn't about the system.

It's about not having to grieve your own time.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

Your cool picture of the day. The legendary Ox Baker goofing around with Nancy Benoit, aka Woman. If you knew Ox, you loved Ox. Although he was one of the meanest-looking people to ever walk the earth, in reality he was one of the nicest, funniest people you'd ever want to meet.
