The trouble with Silicon Valley #techbros putting #AI into everything because they ain't got nothing real and nothing anyone wants is everyone online is working and living inside their hallucinations. They can't admit they're just #rentiers, and they're fucking that up too.

"The fact that these demand-subsidy schemes tend to be so carefully targeted at specific products—'here's a pile of cash but only for buying #housing'—itself suggests that they are intended to benefit #rentiers." liberalcurrents.com/its-not-th

"Pouring more money into a sector that is already dominated by #rentiers won't get more goods to more people. All that money will just wind up in the pockets of the rentiers without increasing supply, because the supply is artificially restricted." liberalcurrents.com/its-not-th

This is an extremely important observation. A wake-up call for anyone who is still credulous enough to keep tugging at their fraying bootstraps.

We need a reset. We need ubi. We need reappropriation of the commons.

"The thesis exaggerates the break between capitalism and the alleged techno-feudal successor... and illegitimately downplays the role rent extraction has always played in capitalism. In fact, there is a great deal of commonality between leftist critiques of surplus extraction under classic industrial capitalism, and the ways in which digital platforms extract economic rents today."

Lets face it #PrivateEquity is not a group of charities, if they're investing in #children focussed #socialcare, its because they see a market opportunity.

#Tories will claim this is because there are opportunities for 'efficiencies' & better #management practices, to enhance surpluses, while the rest of us will see a bunch of #rentiers who have spotted a broken 'market' where the homes' pricing power due to statuary requirement allows enhanced margins; Its profiteering!

"Pourtant, une étude de l'OCDE analysée par le mensuel français Alternatives Economiques montre que le travail est plus taxé que le capital. À l'exception de trois pays seulement (Suisse, Espagne et Colombie), partout dans le monde, il est fiscalement plus intéressant de percevoir des dividendes que de toucher un salaire. "
