Current uniforms are outdated, expensive, cold and uncomfortable and badly need updated. Warm, comfortable and above all affordable clothing is a basic need. A badge that can be sewn on, rather than a whole blazer. Zip-up fleecy top or jacket. Trouser/shorts options for all regardless of gender. Generic gym kit. #expense #schooluniform

Okay, April IS my birthday month.

However, this year, it's been a bit more eventful on the disaster front than I like. A couple of weeks ago, it was our electric kettle. Today our microwave turned into a fire breathing dragon and can't trust it to use.

Granted we don't go top of the line with a microwave, as it's mostly used for reheating leftovers or defrosting something, but still...it's an expense I did not need!

Alternative definition of #Capitalism:

The #state sanctioned #embezzlement from our progeny of the natural resources presently entrusted to us.

Think about it. The #Econ 101 definition of #profit can be summarized by unit of production as the amount the public is willing to #pay, less the #expense of production. Simple, right?

Wrong.

Because "production" always produces things (called negative externalities) that impact the purchasing #public long after production, that simply don't get counted as an expense of production. #Heat. #CO2. #Refuse. #Toxins. #Depression. Etc. You will never see these expenses of production on the product label, because those things, are the "profit" we ALLOW the capitalists to pocket.

Now, in the past, we thought this was ok because we didn't understand the #relationship between the capitalist "economy" and the law of #conservation of #energy. We failed to understand we're working within a closed system. Any physicist worth a shit sees the #insanity of this system today.

That's the root of this #toot: https://kolektiva.social/@LeftistLawyer/109368652923920994. The time of not #accounting for the real #costs of capitalism is done. Every year we continue to allow this reckless system to persist, we #embezzle the #resources of our children's future. It's an antiquated, and profoundly dangerous, arguably criminal, #economic #system

Moderna has reversed course after intense criticism and will keep its COVID-19 vaccine free even after the federal government stops paying for it.

#Apple / #Lisa / 1989 🗑️

“‘Sun Remarketing’, a local #computer dealer, had developed a workaround and still had Lisas in stock, including some 2,700 of them on consignment from Apple. But at a price of around $4000, they weren’t exactly flying off the shelves. The #expense of servicing the computers was another concern, so Apple decided it would be more advantageous to dump them all and write off the loss on its #taxes… Logan ‘rented’ landfill space to Apple for the scrapping operation, charging $1.95 per cubic yard for the *22 truck loads* that measured out at 800 yards” #retrocomputers <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/01/revisiting-apples-ill-fated-lisa-computer-40-years-on/> / <https://www.hjnews.com/opinion/article_b71cddba-f7a0-11e0-8054-001cc4c002e0.html>

There must be a simple #receipt or #expense tracker that’s more efficient and less tedious than inputing each one into spreadsheets.

Are there any expense apps (take notes on $ spending) that are FOSS on iOS? Or not limited to iOS but macOS? I don’t mind taking the effort to write down on paper and input them when I back home.

I’m dying to switch to a new one from Spendee. I admit the app are kind of good but too much tracking and they’re into NFTs.

@noyes Agreed. The variation in valid, reliable information is increasing - including that which is provided to patients directly. Many of us are on our own in terms of determining how we should proceed and often at our own expense (this is dual edged sword as #expense is both #monetary and @ the expense our #health.)
