Understanding the fantasies that make up #libertarian understanding of #money is key to understanding their cosplay worldview of the singular, atomized man.

@dangillmor It’s only a ‘no win’ situation for #Disney because “the notion that choosing integrity means losing” is automatically interpreted to mean “the notion that choosing integrity means losing (money).”

We can #SaveAmerica if more people stop associating #winning with making more #money.

"Trickle-down economics" is a hoax

#anticapitalism #eattherich #feedthepoor #billionaire #billionaires #dollar #dollars #money #aud #usd #nzd #cad #srd #activism #socialism

If you were given $1000 per day, you would earn $365000 per year, putting you in the top 3% of the country, and it would still take over 2700 years to reach $1 billion. This is why billionaires shouldn't exist.

"Infants born to people who received $1,000, no-strings-attached, were nearly half as likely to die as infants born to people who got no cash, according to a report published Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Cash cut mortality in children under 5 by about 45%, the study researchers found, on par with interventions like vaccines and anti-malarials."

the former head of research at #coindesk - someone who spent most of a decade deep inside the crypto industry as a true believer - has written a long form piece titled "Money By Vile Means" about how the crypto industry has become something deeply evil, fucked up, and wholly dependent on the government systems it once sought to disrupt.

"From libertarian ideal to cynical state capture, I debunk the myths of #Bitcoin and reveal its dark reality."

#PIX is the future of #money!
"I can’t help noticing that Pix is actually achieving what #cryptocurrency boosters claimed, falsely, to be able to deliver through the blockchain—low transaction costs and financial inclusion. Compare the 93% of Brazilians using Pix to the 2% of Americans who used cryptocurrency to buy something or make a payment in 2024.
Oh, and using Pix doesn’t create an incentive to kidnap people and torture them until they give up their crypto keys."

Update to this #TransMutualAid .

Found out why they won't be paying me until next Friday. They pay for the previous week's work. Since I was still in recovery last week, I don't get paid this week.

So I'll be needing #money to make ends meet and afford the upcoming sperm banking annual renewal fee. And rideshares to and from work in the heat.

Andrewism: It's Time To Abolish Debt

"Let's take a critical look at Graeber’s exploration of debt and its role in shaping our world so that we can challenge our approach to debt, overcome the current crisis, and pursue a revolutionary reimagining of the economy as a whole."

Stop giving your money to the oligarchs controlling our media and cultural narratives!

Pirate everything.

Set up recurring donations with the money you save to independent media and organizations fighting an uphill battle to save democracy from the fascist oligarchs!

This is ethical consumption, actually.
