A starting point for massive global change. Let’s break free of this corporate slavery!

Texas congressman Gene Green explained to Fox 26 that the federal government has been contracting out student-loan collections to private debt collectors, who are allowed to deploy the U.S. marshals as their enforcement arm. “There’s bound to be a better way to collect on a student loan debt,” said the congressman. Around Houston, that “better way” involves 1,200 to 1,500 arrest warrants. Student debt is at an all time high in the U.S., where students hold an average of $35,000 in federal debt, according to an analysis of government data on Edvisors.

on class and leisure
Text that reads: “The idea that the poor should have leisure has always been shocking to the rich. In England, in the early nineteenth century, fifteen hours was the ordinary day’s work for a man; children sometimes did as much, and very commonly did twelve hours a day. When meddlesome busybodies suggested that perhaps these hours were rather long, they were told that work kept adults from drinking and children from mischief. When I was a child, shortly after urban working men had acquired the vote, certain public holidays were established by law, to the great indignation of the upper classes. I remember hearing an old Duchess say: “What do the poor want with holidays? They ought to work.” People nowadays are less frank, but the sentiment persists, and is the source of much of our economic confusion.“ End text.

Nestlé, a multi-national company valued at $247 billion dollars, gets it’s bottled water from Lake Michigan FOR FREE. That’s 400 gallons of water per minute, for the low low price of completely free. Even worse, Nestlé receives a $13 million dollar tax break from the state of Michigan. Worse still, Nestlé recently took legal action against Flint residents for making “disparaging comments” about the company.
Meanwhile, the disproportionately Black residents of Flint are still being charged for POISONED drinking water…that they can’t drink, cook or bathe with. Not only that, but the residents of Flint are paying among the highest water bills in the country. (source)
So again, exactly when will Rick Snyder and his Emergency City Manager be arrested for crimes against humanity?
(please see related post »here)
weren’t they the ones also fucking up Californians when the drought was at its worst?
YES !!! (source)
This is a really good time to note that this all began because of the Snyder administration’s long term goal to privatize Michigan’s water system, so that private, for-profit businesses like Nestlé could further profitize clean water, a basic necessity for human life.
Chris Christie has already signed a bill authorizing the privatization of New Jersey’s municipal water system (source), and it doesn’t take much imagination to envision other Republican governors (or neoliberal ConservaDems) will do the same. All while simultaneously trying to defund or completely eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency and other laws mandating clean drinking water. (source)
Also, it’s a good time to remember that Republicans are trying to repeal the Clean Water Drinking Act, and thanks to Dick Cheney, that same law does not apply to drinking water sources contaminated by fracking. (source)
Finally, I know it might seem a little far fetched, but before I continue with my last point (beneath the cut), please understand that when David Koch was running for vice president in the 1980s, his Libertarian Platform was roundly dismissed as too conservative or ridiculous, even by Republicans. But fast foward to 2016, and today the Republican platform is nearly indistinguishable from the Koch’s 1980 platform….so long range, strategic political planning is an actual thing…..
