Defending exploitation of garment workers because you are also exploited is not class consciousness nor is it solidarity.

“Most clothes should cost way more than we’re used to in order to pay laborers fairly” and “some people can not afford to pay more for clothes” are connected facts that boil down to: people need to be paid more.

The thing about couture gowns is that they’re not just beautiful on the outside, they also have internal structure meant to support and sometimes shape the body wearing it. You’re not supposed to need anything else. No bra, no corset, no shapewear. The dress does the work.

Prime Day is a good day to remember that while Amazon was fined just $7,000 for dangerous conditions that caused an Amazon worker to die in Indiana, Jeff Bezos became $1.6 billion richer YESTERDAY & Amazon made $30 billion in profits last year.
Every Amazon worker needs a union.

There should’ve been systems and plans in place since Katrina on a state and federal level. Not profit driven plans, but life saving one’s. Where the disabled, incarcerated, homeless, poor and working class are provided for. Not left to live or die from the kindness of strangers.

Public transportation via bus systems, trains, hell even school busses should be used to get people out! It’s a sick society and system that’ll allow people to die if they don’t have the money to survive, while not making sure people have living wages to begin with.

Considering how many times our tax dollars have bailed out airlines, they should be flying people away from natural disasters for free. Nobody should be paying American, Delta, Southwest or whoever for a flight out. They definitely shouldn’t be able to price gouge tickets!

And suddenly everything, everywhere starts to look the same.
Absolute neutrality. No detail. No identity.
What does that say about us?

So when small m minimalism has become the social default for everything from benches & bollards to skyscrapers & national assemblies....
We have a reduction ad absurdum of cultural aesthetics:
Somebody might not like a detail (read: character) so there can be no details.

What I'm talking about is unconscious, small m minimalism.
Which has become the social default for seemingly every design choice, whether architectural or corporate or anything else.
It is a troubling phenomenon because of what minimalism represents: a lack of detail.

My semi controversial take is that the Green Party should be focused on Congress, not the presidency. But they have declined to do that for yearss.

This is a new phase of neoliberalism, which somehow has the ability to evolve in even worse ways.
Create policy to make people homeless, then cut social services as a punishment for people needing them.
Adds intentional harm to the depraved indifference of v1 neoliberalism.

It's amazing how history is taught like chapters end, major change. But a lot of it really doesn't.
Like the Holocaust ended, and some people got Nuremberg Trials, but the corporations were fine. Ones with names like Bayer, BMW, Adidas. Shook it off.

I really recommend reading this paper about the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany in the 1930s, and how it used homelessness.
In many SF politicians, the motivations, tactics, propaganda, goals, are all just adopted from it.
Not hyperbole.

We are not changing course in our work to bring people indoors and clean up encampments.
Our city workers are out there diligently working to offer people shelter and services, and clean up. They are well trained and follow the rules.
The courts are not equipped to police every interaction between unhoused people and city workers.
