Another round of savage austerity for Europe. More poverty, inequality, precarity. The last round left the Eurozone a shadow, half the size of the US economy, manufacturing limping along. And they want to do it all again!? A monumental act of self-harm dressed up as progress.

‼️ We took part in nationwide action against TSB today ‼️

TSB buy-to-let mortgages require that landlords let out their properties to tenants in 12 month contracts, forcing renters into precarity & instability

ACORN members from thirty branches demanded they change this policy

Similarly to prostitution, 'sex for rent' finds its roots in perpetrators taking advantage of women's precarity. Read the🆕research produced by Womenscouncilireland on #SexForRentExploitation :nwci.ie/images/uploads…
✊Women should never have to choose between sexual exploitation & homelessness.

When you #LearnMMT it becomes very clear that poverty is a POLITICAL CHOICE. Capitalism demands poverty and economic precarity to keep LABOR in line. With an understanding of what is described by #MMT , we can #Unite for common cause & demand better from our Government!

Beth Stratford making the crucial point that 'a politics of 'less'' is NOT a theft from those 'suffering precarity, exhaustion and exploitation under the current system.

Ending our dependence on growth is about protecting people from extractivism.'

Great panel on precarity, transformations of capitalism and 90s at the festival of DeriveApprodiEditore in Bologna „Anni Novanta: quando il futuro è finito” with Anna Curcio, Christian Marazzi, Andrea Fumagalli & Federico Chicchi!

Harry Sword barney farmer UBI is concerned, not with the *causes* of inequality, but its *effects*; not with *relative* but *absolute* poverty. It is utterly unconcerned with - essentially opposes - redistribution and social justice, abandoning more & more ppl to precarity. It is neoliberalism triumphant.

The Battle Over Using Journalism to Build AI Models is Just Starting. Bespoke, secretive deals with select news orgs aren't replacement for public policy & won't rescue local news from precarity created by firms who skirt laws + enjoy dominant market power niemanreports.org/articles/the-b…

In 2019, the fed gov legislated housing as a human right. ⬇️

In Budget 2024, we saw measures that could uphold this right, but these measures must be developed with those w/ lived experience of homelessness & housing precarity—a key step in a human rights-based approach (1/2).

It would not be entirely surprising to discover that a clever Conservative strategist has worked out that if you push people below a certain level of poverty and precarity, they no longer have the headspace to think about politics or the time to vote.

As the tide of precarity rises, the apologists and cheerleaders of the status quo are cheerily predicting a 'Roaring 20s' of widespread prosperity ahead. This cartoon captures the current zeitgeist perfectly: /12

'Our academic work often happens in isolation, and our gatherings are often weighted with the pain of precarity or current events [...] In bringing folks together in new ways, we feel the energy of the collective more acutely emboldened (rather than threatened).'

'Our final recommendation is related to job precarity. At the root of many of the QRPs are the working conditions, as highlighted elsewhere by testimonies from researchers themselves and policy papers'

“the perfect cocktail of precarity, productivity pressures, and power dynamics, made possible because of our passion”
