It's hilarious that some folks think a secret group of rich people control everything instead of the widely known group of rich people that control everything.

Mega Yachts and False Flags: Unmasking the Super Rich's Offshore Secrets

youtube.com/watch?v=KjpnObVhKp

We’re on the high seas of the offshore world. Why are people – that is, rich people – throwing up flags for the wrong countries on their damn boats and how does this help them get richer and avoid rules (like, say, paying people and being held responsible for major ecological disasters)? How are countries capturing luxurious boats secretly owned by Russian oligarchs?

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 90.

Hiding beneath what the publishers refer to as a 'comedy of manners', Penelope Fitzgerald's novella The Bookshop (1978) is actually a caustic tale of how the rural aristocracy get their way by subtle & indirect means of social pressure. Its a tale of against a small shopkeeper in a rural/seaside town & explores how the elite attacks those that get it int way. A quietly political book that in some ways seems still timely!

Intergenerational has always been evident (as one would expect; people accrue assets as they get older), but its getting worse.... for the rich this can be reduced by transfers & inheritance, but for the rest poverty beckons....

This is just one more example of how the UK is a society run by the rich, for the rich, with scant regard of the social costs or misery such driven politics produces.

As far as we know (I know): The pandemic is over but the virus has been mutating, it's "sources" aren't understood by far or knowledge blocked as knowing is political as capitalism is no empire at all - it's a condition.

TIL consumerism (explicitly the department store) was set up as a weapon against the working class, in this episode of @parismarx 's Tech Won't Save Us. This makes so many things clearer.

"Paris Marx is joined by Amanda Mull to discuss the history of consumerism and where ecommerce goes in the next few years as interest rates rise and its market share stalls."
