#PublicGoods
Ah, ich danke sehr für die Aufmerksamkeit 🙏 Wir haben in dem Gespräch immer wieder ausgelotet, warum Grenzen sehen & ziehen & Freiheit & Lebendigkeit zusammengehören. Intakte
#GlobalCommons & #PublicGoods sind die vielleicht eindrücklichsten Beispiele dafür. Hier eine Definition der #Unesco 1/2
Danke @beyond-ideology.bsky.social 🐛🦋 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 🤗

Toledo, Spain. Just look at this public transport. Spotlessly clean too.

Turns out 'efficiency' was a cover for austerity. DOGE slashed agencies, hurt workers and communities, and never found the trillions in waste it promised. Let’s invest in public services and stop letting billionaires play government. People deserve better. #DOGEShutdown #PublicGoods

Rural Barton, VT, pop. 2872. Mostly cows. I moved the focus of the image so as to avoid most faces but there were about 300 on this tiny village green. Many older folks with signs like ' #handsOff #socialSecurity' rightfully concerned about MAGA plunder of OUR earnings. Hands off ALL #publicGoods.

Books are cheaper than therapy and last longer than a movie. Libraries are one of the last free public spaces where you aren't expected to spend money. Go use them. What are you reading right now? 📚 #Library #PublicGoods #Reading #Education #Community

Doing less with less:

“Two days after deadly Texas floods, the agency struggled to answer calls from survivors because of call center contracts that weren’t extended…”

Contra Reagan, sometimes Government IS the solution.

And unless we shift the incentives, truth will keep coming in second.

It's another #publicgoods parable: just think how much money we could save on car repairs and insurance if we kept our roads well maintained?

When both major parties compete to look “low tax”, politics loses the language – and permission – to fund the public goods that hold society together, Stewart Sweeney writes.
#auspol #TaxPolicy #PublicGoods #SocialCohesion
When both sides chant 'lower tax', the country pays in division
As the Coalition reasserts “lower tax” as political identity and Labor rushes to deny the high-tax label, Australian politics is losing the language needed to fund shared purpose, rebuild trust and sustain public life.

Otherwise, the truth remains someone else’s problem—until it’s everyone's.

We were told markets meant freedom. What we got was monopoly power wrapped in populist slogans. Democracy won’t survive unless we take on the private empires shaping our lives. #MonopolyPower #PoliticalEcology #FreeMarketMyth #Democracy #Antitrust #PublicGoods
The Market Illusion: How Monopoly Power Disguises Itself as Freedom
Why the story of the “free market” masks the rise of corporate empires—and what reclaiming democracy really requires.

“Property” & “profit” solve resource-allocation problems.

“Democracy” solves power problems.

It keeps influence dispersed, corrects failures, prevents domination & preserves the freedom to revise the system itself.

Do we know anyone in these negotiations? I have some unpublished (=un peer reviewed) numbers they should see, indicating that the #GDPR met its original intent— boosted profits of EU SMEs, presumably by opening the wider EU digital market. #publicGoods like an eu digital economy can raise all boats.

You can’t privatize everything and then act surprised when nothing works.

MAGA didn’t rise out of nowhere. This essay traces how real anger became political fuel—and how Trump turned pain into blame, leaving the system that caused it untouched. #Neoliberalism #DebtPolitics #Trumpism #Scapegoating #Anthropology #PublicGoods #SubstackWriters #CivicImagination

“The U.S. has declined on quality of life measures over time.”

No.

We have improved.

But “rank” has declined.
