I'd go further and say that it doesn't solve anyone's problem, and we know that because the dynamics of suburban 50s america led to a generation of broken housewives. Ergo, UBI alone would lead to a generation of broken people, because while the material needs are taken care of, we still live in an atomized neoliberal hellworld. I think her focus is more on the importance of belonging to a community rather than the moral benefits or whatever of having a job. Although jobs of course, can provide that sense of community, that itself is in tension with the overall framework of capitalism

It's a p decent article imo. I enjoyed it.

Yeah, UBI just by itself would lead straight to Judge Dredd world.

Bernie has a new ad about Harlan, KY out. I heard Tanya from Trillbillies was talking to the campaign. Does anybody know which episode talked about what the miners are going through?

It's spread across a few of them. Pretty sure it starts with Mining Wokeback Mountain but that's a patreon episode, 57. Pretty sure that's the one where Tanya talks about the how the miners had been getting hosed out of their benefits and child support for months even though it was supposedly cut from their checks. There's also that bonus episode on the normal feed that's pretty much just the miners talking too, Voices From the Harlan County Blockade.

Otherwise it's sprinkled through the episodes since then. The Trump trucker one is MAGA Morse Code, if that's what you're after.

It's not even properly British, it's Locust Valley Lockjaw. Why a libsoc would want to sound like a Buckley is beyond me.

I've always kind of assumed he was doing it to cover a speech impediment or something, but it seems like it would be less embarrassing to just admit that than to keep doing it when everyone knows it's fake.
