🖖 Fully Automated Luxury Communism - Mr Roboto, bring me breakfast in bed! UBI until then… Hopeful doomer 🐦🔥☯️ 😅 posh class traitor. Greens 🇬🇧 / LFI 🇫🇷 / PTB 🇧🇪 / DSA 🇺🇸
I’d love a revolution tomorrow. Burn it all down, start fresh. I also know, it’d be massively disruptive*, and nowhere near enough people are in the mood for that. But if the top don’t share a tiny bit more with the bottom, i guarantee more people will get in the mood. #bastille #taxwealth *
Fun fact, the “umbrellas” of Mecca were made in Germany. With heatwaves likely to be hotter and more common, wouldn’t be surprised to see some pop up in European cities.
LFI’s 🇫🇷 plan to manage the environment based on river watersheds is amazing. The EU should do this too.
This view of poor/rich is so reductive… avg European is richer than the American and its not even close. Life is not only be about nominal wealth, its clearly also about so much more. Irony is i think he’s poorer for thinking this way…
French dude clearly doesn’t understand that China has no need to be impatient. The economist gets it.

“But but my aggregate demand…. And slugglish housing”. Western measures of economic activity and success are defunct.
Just seen that Bex was also an option… where one can take a train to col de bretaye and get off on the piste. In the next pic, one of the planned trains is “limited to st. anton” - oh no! 😂 its only the best resort in europe! (Though the “new” station is further away from the galzig bahn…)
I’ve got snow fever again. So i went down nostalgia lane, and found the night train timetable for a trip i took from Brussels to St. Anton. One changeover - One! At Sargans, where it was already snowing! 🤩 Some inspiration for @europeansleeper.eu team? 😉 timetableworld.com/viewer.php?t...
Sometime in 2015/16, this clip told me everything i needed to know. Since “it was all racism why Hillary lost” is still being used today. While racism played a part, discontent with growing inequality was by far the greater threat. From Robert Reich’s badly titled “saving capitalism” on netflix…
