The problem with Black Economic Empowerment in South Africa is that it has not done enough to reverse the legacy of apartheid. Much research shows that, including mine. Do not buy the lies Trump told at his pantomime. This is why research, universities and academic freedom are important.

This wins the worst news of the internet today and it had a LOT of competition 😖
Think you are 'safe' because you don't live in the US? Think again. . . 'Musk’s far-right influence has taken on a life of its own and started to have an impact even in countries he has not yet visited or said anything about.'
The amount of shit on social media from unreconstructed and flat out racist white South Africans following Trump’s lead is truly insane…
Some of the most privileged people imaginable have convinced themselves that they are uniquely victimised…
WTF???
If people normalize this lawbreaking instead of pushing back, it will be very hard ever to restore the system of government that most of us grew up assuming it would be in place. Trump’s disregard for US constitution ‘a blitzkrieg on the law’, legal experts say

Andreas Malm chronicled this in detail in ‘Overshoot’. This is one more brick.

A visualization showing that while other developed nations achieve life expectancies of 82-84 years with health spending of $3,000-$6,000 per capita, the United States spends nearly $10,000 per capita only to achieve a life expectancy of 78.7 years (as of 2018). Japan, Spain, and other nations lead with longer lives at far lower costs, while the US stands as a stark outlier – spending the most for worse health outcomes.
This chart is an indictment of the US for-profit health care system.
All of those lost years are the cost of profits being claimed.
No no no! It’s all about freedom … of being stuck in traffic
