What is a Society where huge tax-evading, profit driven multi-national Corporations run by an Oligarchy rule the Planet? It's not democracy

A goat can settle a debt. Nothing settles a deed. Pay rent for twenty years and the title is as strong as on day one. A mortgage is repaid and the money is deleted. The position it bought is permanent. New essay: House Rules commonplanet.substack.com/p/…

It's just false that MMT believes "spending has no consequences." The argument they always made was that spending is constrained ONLY by its consequences rather than by any inherent cap on the amount of money a sovereign government has available to spend.

You’ll never believe it but no matter how many times I’ve hit like on this tweet Twitter removes it

How is this not in direct violation of SEC's regulation standard disclosure? It was always obvious the orange douchebag's policy decisions were driven to move markets so him and his gang can profit. the stock market is a gambling, it's not really investing in anything

The Declaration of Independence quite literally tells us to overthrow a government exactly like the one we have right now.

Gladstone: You may think, “How did we get here?” For the First Peoples of this land, unfortunately, this has been ongoing since the birth of this country as we know it today. So perhaps the question then is not, “How did we get here?” It’s, “How are we still here?”

The Library of Alexandria created the first catalog of all human knowledge 2,300 years ago, and a team of fewer than 20 people just finished the modern version and made it free for the entire planet. It is called OpenAlex. The name is not an accident. The ancient library had the Pinakes, a catalog mapping every scroll, every author, every subject. When the library fell, the map of what humanity knew fell with it. For the last two decades, that map existed again, but it was locked up. Elsevier owns Scopus. Clarivate owns Web of Science. If your university could not afford the subscription, you could not see the structure of science itself. Entire countries were priced out of knowing what research existed. OpenAlex indexes 474 million scholarly works. Every author disambiguated. Every citation traced. Every institution and funder connected. It updates with roughly 50,000 new works every day. The whole thing is CC0. Not just free to search. Free to download, copy, sell, and build on. The API allows 100,000 requests a day without an account. The ancient library burned and the catalog was lost for two millennia. The new one cannot burn. Anyone can hold a copy. openalex.org

Why sovereign money is not debt, a very good article: ineteconomics.org/perspectiv…

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

I just want to point out.... The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.

What could life look like in 2050? Our short story of a day in the life of a Common Planet: A Play For Life: 2050 open.substack.com/pub/common…

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot. It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles. But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer. I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

You didn’t opt into this system. You were born into it. Every dollar you’ve ever spent was permission. Permission to eat, to live somewhere, to move through the world. Every transaction of your life has been authorized... The Trust Revolution, Part 4: Why Creditism Couldn't Exist Until Now. commonplanet.substack.com/p/…

The fourth article in the genesis series by @Common_Planet is "The Trust Revolution." open.substack.com/pub/common… The launch of Creditism is portending a vast economic phase shift. Every one of these genesis articles is just excellent.

I literally just tweeted this hours ago, and already my tweet has been unliked again, what is happening @Support Fuck you and your owner
