How India’s Economy and Hindutva Rise Together

India’s middle class has been the big winner from a deregulated economy. In turn, that middle class helps fuel the rise of populism and Hindutva.

National Demonstration to Protest The #Tory Party Conference in #Manchester on October 1st

“The #Tories have the audacity to return to Manchester in October for their annual conference. It's crucial we collectively come together en-masse to give them the biggest, boldest and loudest unwelcome!

This vile, vicious and corrupt government cannot be allowed to attend their conference without opposition. Their programme of ideological and unnecessary #austerity, #privatisation, #profiteering, #deregulation attacks on our democratic rights to protest and organise at work (and so much more) must be resisted.

It's crucial we fight back, resist the transfer of wealth to the very rich they and crush all attempts to weaken and demoralise us as a class. History tells us that when ordinary working class people come together on the issues we agree on, get organised and collectively fight back in big numbers, we force our governments to meet our political demands..

Achieving the right to vote, trade union rights, our welfare state and NHS, abolishing slavery (and more) were all achieved despite massive opposition and against huge odds. Our ancestors refused to give up, so we must refuse to be discouraged and continue our fight for the better, fairer world we deserve.

First we get rid of the Tories. Then we look at next steps and strongly hold to account any subsequent government that does not act in our interests.”

I Used To Make $100K As A Trucker. Now I Make Minimum Wage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XJlJqda8mM&ab_channel=MorePerfectUnion

Truckers used to make $110K per year on average. Now many are homeless. So what happened? We dug into it as part of our new Class Room series, which looks at how jobs that used to provide a solid, middle class life now barely provide a living.
With trucking, that story starts with deregulation. Big Box stores like Walmart were allowed to crush worker power and wages across an entire industry.
Now there's a perpetual trucker shortage as drivers get sick of low wages, long hours, and constant surveillance.

So help me understand -- don't #conservatives claim to be all about DE-regulation??
Come to think of it, don't bother. They've been contradicting their words and actions for over 50 years.
Abbott, next to #DeathSantis, is nothing but a authoritarian-in-waiting. This bill is ghastly in its consequences and does NOTHING for his own gullible rubes in the #LoneStarState.

@allenstenhaus @TonyStark 🥥 I'm old enough to remember when utilities like Consolidated Edison back in #Chicago where I grew up gave the elderly serious and meaningful discounts on their utility bills.
Along came the miracle of #deregulation -- which was sold as the catalyst for providing better service for less -- and that idea disappeared along with reasonable costs for utilities.
So yeah, Allen, I get what you're talking about.
Eat the rich, with a side dish of right-leaning politicians. 🥥

#Bipartisan #sprawl subsidies: Rather than focusing on local programs that could provide new, #sustainable sources of #cleanwater and improved #localresilience, Newsom is choosing to advocate for #streamlining review of projects that could negatively impact local #communities and #ecosystems like the Delta Conveyance Project (Delta Tunnel) and Sites Reservoir.- Brandon Dawson.

Sewage-soaked field stops creation of new woodland in Greater Manchester | #Pollution
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/21/sewage-soaked-field-stops-creation-of-new-woodland-in-greater-manchester

"The water company was found to be the most polluting in the country last year. One of United Utilities’ pipes spilled sewage into the River Ellen, near the Lake District, for nearly 7,000 hours in 2022."

The #UK has become one great big toilet, it seems - thanks to the #Tories and #deregulation

The True Dangers of Long Trains

Trains are getting longer. Railroads are getting richer. But these “monster trains” are jumping off of tracks across America and regulators are doing little to curb the risk.

Do you enjoy swimming in our sea 🌊 now full of sewage 💩 since #Brexit allowed us to be free of those pesky EU blue flag rules!

Even more #deregulation to lessen not just your freedom of movement but also the quality in your life.

Whilst #sewage continues to surge into rivers and beaches, water company CEOs continue to stuff their pockets with #dirtymoney. Don’t let water company fat cats continue to profit from pollution. #surfersagainstsewage
