I was born to a 20min neighbourhood. My 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿market town had a library, hospital, surgery, police & fire station, schools, banks. Green groceries, butchers - abattoir, sweet shop, cafes, pubs, cinema, theatre, toy shop, iron mongers, milk man, deposit return, all locally owned businesses. Then out of town retail came. End

2/2 #SilentSunday

We’ve silenced nature, remove community economies, allowed outside corporates to force our land, for private wealth. Rivers no longer ripples with flurries, leaps & splashes.

A mix mosaic of agricultural, organic habitat has all but gone.

Reverse, recreate the community economy, a food sovereignty system, that manages flood & drought for all.

#Wales #Cymru, everyone own your natural resources, & create far greater abundance, a #WellbeingEconomy for all. #photography

“Why I joined 70 economists and human rights experts urging Labour to change course.”

So pinch me now... but I had extraordinary privilege of speaking with outgoing Welsh Future Generations Commissioner, Sophie Howe.

For the past seven years Sophie's job has been to inspire, harrangue, encourage and hold to account Welsh public agencies to act in the interests of Welsh people and future generations.

Guided by the seven wellbeing principles developed over extensive collaboration with the Welsh population, Sophie's job and impact has been astounding.

"Care is an anathema to #capitalism. Its virtues are capitalism’s vices. Its rich foundation for meaningful work is capitalism’s ‘productivity crisis’. To the mainstream economist, the time-intensive work of #care translates as low or stagnant productivity. The thing that’s ‘holding us back’ from the growth we are so obsessed with. "—

New findings show a direct causal relationship between unemployment and suicide (The Conversation)

https://theconversation.com/new-findings-show-a-direct-causal-relationship-between-unemployment-and-suicide-209486

"Legally there are implications concerning duty of care and the obligation of governments and institutions to safeguard the wellbeing of the population. These findings should contribute to discussions about legal frameworks relating to employment, work health and safety, discrimination and human rights.

A direct causal relationship between unemployment and suicide demands a re-evaluation of policies, a prioritisation of full employment, adequate social safety nets to prevent poverty, mental-health system reform, and greater urgency in shifting to a wellbeing economy."
