I am getting a lot of emails from the US Dept of Education in the lead-up to student loan payments resuming. We're about to find out just how catastrophic the student loan default crisis is going to get when a working population thrust into the mass death/disability and immense upward redistribution of wealth that morally bankrupt policy makers decided to make of the COVID pandemic is thrown headlong back into the fire pit of sisyphean debt bondage.

An economist's perspective is always useful.

@anupam tells us that "Decline in real wages of food delivery workers and around a third of them holding graduate degrees reveal a dire unemployment situation. Instead of blaming platforms for the condition of gig workers, governments must facilitate manufacturing, skilling, basic safety nets and quality education"

Nearly 300 groups are listed, and they're sorted by county.

China’s economic woes are not new, but have become visible. Back in 2018, after Xi Jinping became president for life, I pointed out the beginning of the end of China’s rise.

While I patiently apply for all the jobs in the world, I hope you enjoy this short introduction to my capstone research paper on tech policy and the super mega evil corp. 😈 I hope to strike a balance between my love for how technology has changed my world for the better and the honest critique of how it’s made life worse for us all.

Locally and Federally:

"Public policy and advocacy work, for most movement organizations, can feel like a luxury. Movements are, and should be, concerned with addressing the needs of our people first and foremost. But if we willfully exclude ourselves from Congressional processes, we leave money and resources on the table that will provide vital resources to our communities."
