Now break that shit down per capita, and also try and account for the fact that China is a huge manufacturing hub for the entire world’s consumption, you jackass.

Having worked in NHSE during the initial contracts given to Palantir, in data analytics, no one below SLT gave a shit about what Palantir were producing and never engaged with it. But the higher-ups? The only drips that gave them the time of day. Some much more enthusiastically than others.

Me when my country still has lynchings of black and brown people, had horrific racial discrimination during the worst of the USSRs excesses, has the highest per capita incarceration rate of overwhelmingly black and indigenous people, is responsible in part for the deaths of over 1 million Iraqis, put Japanese Americans in concentration camps during WW2 just in case they were spies, genocided their native population and still effectively operates apartheid for the remaining natives, supports the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, locked up and tortured MENA people without trial post 9/11 in an offshore torture camp, ran black sites all across Iraq and Afghanistan doing more torture of brown people and on and on and on and on and on and on…

Entire system is made to make you feel like you’re desperately going cap in hand for scraps which they can deny you for bullshit. I fear what it would do to my mental considering work made me suicidal because of how hard it was for me to keep up a facade of being “with it”.
Plus access to work, applied for it at the start of my 1 year fixed term contract, took them 14 months to get back to me so I got nothing, they just closed my case.
zedcell@lemmygrad.mlto Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•I would like some help understanding the Labor Theory of Value7·4 个月前Exchange values are based on socially necessary labour time, not just any individuals labour time spent on making a commodity. In other words, the social average expected time taken to make any given good is what informs its exchange value. This means that exchange value is inclusive of the average number of burnt cookies produced by an average chef/cookie machine.
Machinery imparts no value into any single good because most machines can produce tens of thousands of commodities before requiring maintenance or replacing. The labour time spent making the machine is distributed evenly across the commodities it produces, so if it took 150 hours to make the machine, and the machine makes 50000 things before it breaks, each commodity has 150/50000 = 0.003 hours of labour time imparted as value into the object, I.e. it’s basically a rounding error.
Marx’s Capital mentions at one point that the working class in Manchester were reliant on drugs like opium to cope with their insane working conditions and poor life/housing conditions.
It’s not a new thing at all.
The spectrum of autism isn’t mild to disabling.
It’s a spectrum of presenting symptoms. What “functional autism” is, is a constellation of symptoms that means you can just about navigate the world as expected by neurotypical people. “Non-functioning” autism or “profound” autism are where the constellation of symptoms makes you unable to function in the world. This is more often than not inclusive of non-verbal autisms and poor motor control autisms.
“Functional” autism can be disabling for the individual in certain conditions - they may be completely unable to read social cues, or be severely impacted by certain stimulatory environments.

The “functionality is entirely reliant on the US”. I.e. in order for Trident to function we need missiles from the US to carry the atomic warheads and we need to spend money every few years to replace old and out of date missiles. If the US decided to stop selling us the missiles Trident would cease to function. Ergo they have outsized control over our nuclear deterrent.

Nothing was ever achieved by people writing and sharing political theory and analysis of current material conditions.
And people definitely shouldn’t read what is to be done.
DWP workers are basically cops and the revolution should not spare them. Fucking cretin.
