Please consider donating to the Open Medicine Foundation to help people suffering from extremely disabling and underfunded lifelong illnesses with no know treatment.

Not really. There isn’t a systemic problem where the lives of black people are valued more than others. The systemic problem is that black people’s lives are valued less than others.
There is a systemic problem where the lives of people unable to work through no fault of their own are valued less than those who can work.
Well when politicians constantly use work and labour as a way to shore up support, it very quickly forgets and leaves behind those who can’t.
“working people deserve a living wage” (does that imply non-working people don’t?)
That is completely untrue and shows you don’t really understand the complexity of disability.
I literally cannot.
I’m able to spend about 30mins-1hr total per day on my phone doing simple tasks. And that’s because I’ve improved, most of my illness course I’ve been unable to use my phone of communicate in any way at all.
I’m completely bedridden and unable to speak, deaf, unable to tolerate much sound or light, tubefed and slowly dying.
I cannot work.
LOL.
The obsession with Soros is hilarious.
As if these far right people aren’t funded by billionaires with deep pockets.
They seem good, but as a disabled person who can’t work, the name is icky.
If you do. I think it’s a great idea.
But don’t fall into the “green party” loophole of just sabotaging neo-liberal democrats and helping literal facists get elected.
Start local. Run for seats you can win. Priosritise states with open primary systems.
We need a grassroots movement.
Thank you, appreciate it.
Interesting article. It’s sad to think there will be a wealth gap in accessing these technologies as they are behind paywall.
I see it more as the absurdity of capitalism.
We have people starving on the streets, people unable to afford healthcare, yet the jobs the self-proclaimed “efficiency” of capitalism creates, is labour intended to protect the people who caused these problems in the first place, not labour intended to help the people who face these problems.
I’m donating to a small aussie charity who is mapping endangered fauna populations and tracking responses to land use.
(not the san diego zoo ahah)
Already chose a charity. But cheers. This year I’m aiding aussie wildlife :)
Disabled and bedridden, can’t volunteer. All I got is the 10-30 USD left over at the end of year from my disability insurance payments and I want to do good in the world.
Saving that little won’t get me anywhere. I’m already poor and in a shitty living situation and that money can’t really help me cuz its too small, so I wanna donate it to something where it can make a difference.
I guess, but as someone who’se functionally deaf, I’ll just always be grateful for subtitles.
Beats 80% of other content.
Unpopular opinion: “top talent” is a meaningless capitalistic word to justify crazy wealth disparities
I say this as someone who went to one of the “highest ranked” unis in the world. Most of all this prestige and “top talent” stuff is bullshit designed to keep the rich rich.
Cool. My second option was an australian charity that is running a similar project and their highest salary seems to be 80k USD. So I’ll go with that one.
That’s what I was thinking.
I know america has this elitist managment culture of that values people who “earn their worth” and are “entrepreneurial” or whatever, but that doesn’t ever justify a million dollar salary to me.
Well I’m going to give to another charity obviously.
Because I don’t want half my donation to go towards massive salaries.
Non-profits pay fixed salaries. Instead of having an owner who “profits” all the extra money left over.
Vienna has 50% public housing and as a result basically no homeless population.
