“They made healthcare a commodity, education a debt trap, and housing a speculation market — then told you that poverty is a personal failing.
They privatized survival and called it freedom."

The picture implies manufacturing, but per country the top contributor tends to be electricity production. See this link on interactive GHG contributions by country or source. wri.org/insights/interactive-c…

Actually the picture implies fossil fuel refining and by extension, use.

I've been beating this drum since the rise of corporations. The problem with them is that they dilute responsibility so thoroughly that there is none. Now they have taken over our (US) government.

‘The End’

Rogue Enterprises 3 is a wrap. I’ll let it sit for a few days before diving into revisions/clean up.

In the meantime, time to start outlining Grand Human Empire 6.

The image displays a block of text on a plain white background. The text is formatted in a simple, clean font, with no additional graphics or images. The text is divided into three paragraphs, each beginning with a quotation mark. The first paragraph reads: "This job can't end soon enough." Zephyr said leaning back in her chair. She looked over to Wil. "Your people are nothing but trouble." The second paragraph states: Wil winked. "You ain't seen nothing yet." The third paragraph is simply: The End. The text is centered on the page, with no other visual elements present.

in reply to Robert Reich

it was a statement worth sharing, so here's #Alt4You:

A social media post by Robert Reich (@rbreich.bsky.social) reads:
"On this day in 1868, the 14th Amendment was ratified. The text is just as clear and relevant today as it was back then. Donald Trump is trying to erase this."

Below the text is an aged parchment image labeled **AMENDMENT XIV** in large capital letters, followed by a quote from the U.S. Constitution:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Government regulation and civil litigation necessary to make capitalism behave more like the top, which libertarians assert is its natural state and all regulation is bad. When shown actually successful regulation it's "the market operating as it should" in their minds. Left to its own devices it devolves to the bottom every time when profit is the *only* imperative.

Hayek, Friedman, et. al. are just one long petulant "NUH UH!" assertion to actual history and Marxian analysis of capital. It's the "lalalala can't hear you" equivalent of economic theory.

The image features two blood bags, each filled with red liquid, positioned side by side against a white background. The text at the top reads, "DEAR RACIST, YOUR CHILD NEEDS A PINT OF BLOOD." Below the blood bags, the text states, "CHOOSE THE WHITE ONE." The blood bags are depicted with a realistic appearance, showing a slight gradient in color from a darker red at the bottom to a lighter red at the top, with a white outline and a drip tube at the bottom. The overall design is simple, with a focus on the text and the blood bags.
