I'm disabled and can't work in my early 30s now. The numbers for disability benefits haven't been adjusted for inflation since world war 2. Obviously I can't afford to live anywhere else.
We're a crumbling empire, we have an exploding homeless population and the billionaires like it that way. There's laws in many places here in the US where you can't use any kind of force to remove homeless people from your private property, if you call the cops in those places, they don't do anything about it.
Part of the problem is that the billionaires want us all to be terrified of each other and to hate our neighbors so that we beg for authoritarianism...even worse than the authoritarianism we have now.
You can't remove squatters or trespassers, but god forbid if you light up a joint, they'll throw you in prison for that.
I’m doing some research into how this is connected to the fiat economy and finance capital. If anyone has suggestions of what to look at or search for, I’d appreciate it.
Second-order dynamics in financialised capital, or the fact financialisation of capital is essentially mimicking the infinite paperclip problem. Runaway infinities are a predictable output of the system.
Thanks
It's very depressing.
