[en] To fight financial illiteracy, we mapped our money system as waterworks
[corr.]

"... most of us remain unfamiliar with the jargon of economists, bankers and tax experts. As in 2009, today’s democracies continue to be divided into what Taibbi describes as a “two-tiered state, one with plugged-in financial bureaucrats above and clueless customers below.”

I thought it was offensive enough when media browser UIs started the convention that a block of text could only take up a defined amount of screen real estate, and you'd have to click "more" where formerly one could just scroll. But in Apple Music on the very latest OS... you can't even click "more," you literally get as much text as fits in 1140 x 250 pixels. Word boundaries be damned.

It's understandable that people on the right want to push a falsified history of the ongoing Covid pandemic. They hate and fear the idea of collective action for collective wellbeing.

But there have been people on the left who have been seeking to undermine the value of actions that avoided many millions of deaths and disablements.

At least Richard Seymour isn't one of them: theguardian.com/commentisfree/

"Yikes! More drivel over the national debt!
How the hell can we expect Americans to understand what the national debt means if the media doesn’t report it accurately?"

"Economic illiteracy is dangerous for a democracy, especially when exacerbated by mainstream media that should know better."

Thank you @rbreich !!

As we invent new tools to process and create culture, new forms of have to be fought.

See how the wider public (and not only the wider public) is tempted to use as a trusted source of information.

@pmphillips …not only ‘glorifying aristocratic pastimes’, but frequent apologists for criminality of masquerading as and ‘vermin’ control.

In our time, the curse is monetary , just as inability to read plain print was the curse of earlier centuries

@bright_helpings Audiobooks might be a great format for illiterate people to read books. 🤔

I've never seen anybody from the west discuss illiteracy as an accessibility problem.

A lot of people from my grandparents' generation born right after independence, especially women, never learnt to read and write because the new government didn't construct the schools yet. Still they were well informed of the news through radio broadcasts.

"I wanted to tell this story about my experience of being English-illiterate because strong literacy in the dominant language (like other forms of privilege) is something people seem to take for granted when they have it."
