If I can’t share a Curly Wurly then it’s not a revolution.
To be fair he said it was an ‘industry’ problem. And the music ‘industry’ absolutely has the same problem.

Isn’t that what people have been saying for decades? Yet the ‘economic miracle of Japan’ just keeps rolling.

Oh wow that’s insane to leave those essentials out of the calculation.
Shit isn’t good here either, energy costs increased by 20-25% in just a quarter, homelessness rising, wages have fallen in real terms over the last two decades while company profits have soared, renting is out of reach of most young people while the older generation is retiring with multiple homes. The share of GDP that goes into people’s pockets is literally the opposite of what it was in the 1950s.
Why aren’t people taking a closer look at Japan? Their inflation rate is down 929% from last year, without adjusting the cash rate.
Why is it that the EU, UK, Canada, NZ, USA and Australia all keep trying to reach the same goal of suppressing demand until unemployment is high enough for prices to fall. It’s insane.

You can guess which will get more attention once in power, neo liberal economic changes or immigration and climate change.
Sounds like Crash Team Racing.
“She would use $950,000 of her divorce settlement to buy the mountain.”
I’m just flabbergasted by the sheer amount of money these people have. Who has $950,000 or anywhere close to that amount of cash? Even if I sold my house I wouldn’t have that!
We all know where this ends up. Remove all regulation and corporations are free to create their own conditions of employment. We’ve been here before. When there was no mandatory minimum leave, people worked every day till they died. When there was no universal healthcare people died because they couldn’t afford treatment. When there was no operational health and safety people died in excruciating pain as their lungs consumed themselves from the inside out because PPE was expensive and their labour wasn’t. When there was no minimum wage people were paid in company scrip, not cash. When there was no minimum working age, children lost limbs in doing dangerous work because they had to support their families. When there was no child protection agencies families sold their kids to farmers, pimps and bandits to pay for tomorrow’s meals. When there was no food safety standards, bread was adulterated with sawdust to make up the weight. Government regulations are written in a history of blood and suffering due to the greed of capitalists. Anyone who wants to return to the 1800s deserves the social upheaval that comes with it.

Remember the partition of India? Remember the Nakba?
Telling 1 million people that they no longer have a home never ends well.
I know this might not apply elsewhere as I’m in Australia, but I always bring up that your union fees are totally tax deductible so you get it all back at tax time.
Of course. It’s a Murdoch newspaper they’re the shittiest of shit tier capitalists.
Australia is moving to a pay management system like this soon but as of right now this shit is still valid.
National boundaries just divide workers to obscure the fact that they have more in common with each other than with the ruling classes.
Oh I can provide context with an entertaining and informative video!

People don’t make that argument. But the ultimate goal of any capitalist organisation is to form a monopoly.
