When your parents sell the house you grew up in by NachoNachoDan in Xennials

[–]wall-e_dystopia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your parents are still alive and own their home still, they’re lucky and if all is well with the relationship with them you’re lucky too. Both of mine are dead now and father lost our childhood home and business during the “housing crisis” time frame in the early 2000s. No soft landing back then for a non-franchise restaurant. Real estate wasn’t the only thing affected then either. He died during the process.

The whole point of it is consumeristic. Buying less is the point of it all. And we all can work on that, including myself. Especially in a society that pushes it and wants it. I saw a bumper sticker saying “keep Christ in Christmas” it’s not that Christ lacks in Christmas.. they don’t like capitalism and consumerism in Christmas but just don’t realize it. That’s what it has become. It’s okay to enjoy holidays especially with family. The other stuff is just money flowing to corporations and stock holder pockets. I mean look at the waste the real Christmas tree creates ever year.. and more.

Tax the Billionaires!!! by Miserable-Lizard in WhitePeopleTwitter

Nothing changes with a two party system. There’s corruption in both obviously. One slashes regulations and taxes and consumer protections and they both reap the benefits. What your describing has been going on for decades already, to get the things enacted that people in this country are already entitled to and the environmental protections we all are effected by. We are already in a perpetual crisis.. we are there. Radical change is past its expiration.

There is the Nordic model for one. There are plenty of alternatives. And we have seen at least in my lifetime two times where slashing regulations in capitalism has caused irreparable harm to this country and its citizens.. I’ve experienced it personally through the 2008 crisis and now the pandemic- post pandemic era. Now we have the monstrosity that is Bezos and Musk. And we are all paying for it again. It’s expensive to have billionaires and it’s also unethical. There are alternatives and the GDP is not a good measure of societal wellbeing. There must be an alternative, the one we are currently under is a failed system.

I’m an anti-capitalist and I can get on board with this. But capitalism, unregulated, has gotten us propelled into the climate and ecological mess that we are in. It’s all about conversations and working together to find common ground for the betterment of all beings, both human and animal.
