There are no human fingerprints to remind us of the factory conditions in China where it was actually made. In order to remove evidence of suffering laborers, tech companies poison them further.” #Rushkoff #SurvivalOfTheRichest

1/2 “Too many of today's technological processes stem from this same urge to distance consumers from the reality of labor. In the final stage of cell phone assembly, for example, workers wipe down each unit with a toxic solvent that removes their own fingerprints from the devices. The chemical leads to miscarriages, cancers, and shortened lifespan. The benefit, of course, is that it removes all traces of human involvement.” #Rushkoff #SurvivalOfTheRichest

If anything is going to sell Apple's new $3.5k VR goggles, it's stunts like this. Leave ocean exploration to the real professionals. The billionare amateurs can stay ashore touring ship wreckage from the safety of their underground silos.

As #WEF23 kicks into gear, let’s keep in mind recent @Oxfam@twitter.com #SurvivalOfTheRichest report showing extreme wealth surging while millions plunge into extreme poverty. We must put #humanrights at the heart of economic recovery plans to end the growing inequalities & crises worldwide.

Dit zijn slechts enkele v/d antwoorden die ik graag had gebracht tijdens #DeAfspraak nav ons recent rapport #SurvivaloftheRichest.
In de plaats daarvan zat ik thuis voor de buis een panel exclusief bestaande uit mannen te beluisteren. @DeAfspraaktv@twitter.com: waar zijn de vrouwen? (9/9)

Today’s inflation crisis isn’t only about supply and demand. It’s also linked to corporate price profiteering. It’s time to #TaxTheRich and make food and energy corporations and their billionaire titans to pay their fair share. #SurvivalOfTheRichest #FightInequality​
