Dorothy Day called US militarism "anti-Catholic atheism" & urged mass draft refusal. Pope Leo XIV echoes her: put down the drones, sit at the peace table. Two Catholic voices, 80 years apart, saying similar radical things. The Catholic Worker offers a path to total resistance.

Agreed. Best depiction I've seen so far. Especially loved no one on the oars but also the nonchalance in a false sense of reality.

For too long, economic policy has rested on assumptions treated as facts: that markets self-correct, that governments should stand back, that growth will trickle down.
Today in Barcelona w/ Dep PM Carlos Cuerpo and the Gov of Spain we are launching the Global Council for a Common Good Economy.
The Council for a Common Good Economy is an international council of leading economists to challenge these assumptions and set out the economic thinking that progressive governments need.

Because capitalist firms must continue to achieve valuations or dividend payouts at an ever increasing rate, merely generating profits is considered failure, and these firms will be targeted for sell-offs or takeovers. It doesn’t matter if you make a good product at a good price; in fact it’s not even necessary to have a real product. Many startups with huge valuations had completely fabricated products (theranos), illegal products (YieldStar), products based entirely on insider trading (prop betting) or pump and dump scams (meme coins), or unworkable business models that required a decade of massive subsidies in order to put market competitors out of business so they could achieve monopoly status and jack up prices (Uber, AirBnb).
Shana Marshall may have written the best description of late capitalism with US characteristics I have ever seen:

Table 1: Comparision of Total Jobs per $1 million, Military and Non-Military Spendingn from the report, "The Employment Impacts of Cuts to Federal Spending: Not All Cuts Are Created Equal".
Healthcare spending creates 84% more jobs than military spending, while infrastructure and clean energy create from 24% to 64% more.
It's always been this way.
