In 1974 Australian workers (aka. the people who create all the wealth) received 55.9% of GDP in wages. Today it's 47.9%. If that share increased back to 1974 levels it would mean workers would, collectively, be $220 billion better off (more than $15,000 per employee, per year).🧵

Ah, those were the days. I'm sure there were a few games in that era that I played where the boss key dropped you to an actual DOS shell.

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Empathy, generosity, reciprocity, care, conviviality, solidarity and hospitality make communities and societies strong. It’s the logics of feudalism and capitalism that weaken and destroy. Disdain for the other, the curse of unbridled self-interest, rapacious greed and extraction.
