The only thing "free" about so-called free time is that it doesn't cost the boss anything. Free time is mostly devoted to getting ready for work, going to work, returning from work, and recovering from work. Free time is an euphemism for the peculiar way labor as a factor of production not only transports itself at its own expense to and from the workplace but assumes primary responsibility for its own maintenance and repair.

I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (?)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

This charade white people keep up (I’m not sure if they’ve deluded themselves into genuinely believing it or if it’s an act) of “oh well, yeah stuff like this is happening, but black people aren’t burned in the streets anymore so racism doesn’t exist and we all live in harmony and peace :)” is seriously one of the most frustrating and naive perceptions of reality, racism didn’t leave, it just evolved. Some people’s air of privilege is so thick, they think racism doesn’t exist, I can’t wrap my head around that, have they taken a look outside??

Please everyone, keep yourself updated on what’s going on in the world (while keeping your mental health in check, that’s very important) and keep fighting for change.

“When we set children against one another in contests - from spelling bees to awards assemblies to science “fairs” (that are really contests), from dodge ball to honour rolls to prizes for the best painting or the most books read - we teach them to confuse excellence with winning, as if the only way to do something well is to outdo others. We encourage them to measure their own value in terms of how many people they’ve beaten, which is not exactly a path to mental health. We invite them to see their peers not as potential friends or collaborators but as obstacles to their own success… Finally, we lead children to regard whatever they’re doing as a means to an end: The point isn’t to paint or read or design a science experiment, but to win. The act of painting, reading, or designing is thereby devalued in the child’s mind.”

Universal basic income is essential if we want to build a bright future in the age of automation.

Seriously. The 40-hour work week was codified in 1940, before computers did anything. Per-hour productivity has more than quadrupled since then, but we’re working even harder, to live not all that much better. It’s absurd.

No, it’s not absurd, it’s deliberate. The ruling class wants us to work as hard as possible, so they have profits to skim and pile up.

[nerbert]

Also, the 40-hour work week was established as the standard per family. It was instituted as a standard for one spouse (the husband) to work outside the home and be paid enough to support their family while the other spouse (the wife) was responsible for all household and domestic labour. At the time, 40 hours per week in wages was supposed to be enough for the average family. But by the 1970s ish, living costs and other such costs had risen so disproportionately that it was becoming more and more necessary for both* partners (haven’t come across research that includes polyamorous partners) to work 40 hours per week. And wages have only continued to stagnate for everyone such that if wages HAD adjusted in proportion to productivity increases since just the 70s, not even looking back to the 40s, minimum wages would be around $30/hour now.

Point is, yeah, poverty and unfair wages is absolutely a deliberate decision by the ruling class and it’s always been that way. Economics is nothing more than a 10,000 year old religion that seeks to ensure some proportion of a population stays oppressed enough to form a labour market and money is the weapon of whoever makes the rules. Can’t have profit without exploiting some input in production, and workers are seen as just inputs in economics.
