HOUSING: Police State and Class War!

youtube.com/watch?v=hAZpw1Cjl1

a sick society...

In this clip from his "Thinking Out Loud" series, Double D discusses the eviction of "Mom's for Housing" and how it reflects the purpose of militarized police as agents of capital in a class war against working people. He reinforces the idea that police do not exist to protect people, but rather to protect private property. He analyzes how housing has ceased to be viewed as an essential need, but rather as a commodity to be used in investment portfolios.

Most of America's hospitals are "nonprofits" that increasingly exist to enrich executives by leveraging huge tax breaks.

@tristupe I am so very sorry. Every cycling death is awful, deeply unfair, deeply wrong. I wish people would recognise more that car dominance is a form of and that as a society we would stop finding car drivers killing cyclists in any way acceptable.

A bit tangential/far-fetched, i know, but:
Have been reading about the US opioid crisis recently and was struck by how often stories begin with a car crash, then chronic pain, prescriptions etc etc. I wonder if anyone has looked into whether high numbers of car crashes = a lot of chronic pain = a lot of medication as part of overall problem.
