🇪🇺 Should farms that exploit workers keep receiving the public's money?
EU ministers apparently think so 👀
⚠️ @DeSchutterO argues in Social Europe : public money should uphold workers’ rights, not reward those who exploit them.

ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS revisits both The Road to Serdom and The Great Transformation (initially titled the Fascist Transformation). Both provide a framework for understanding the rise of fascism and a vision for never again. We have tried Hayek's road for the past decades. It's time to revive Polanyi's ecoconomy for common people.

"We can't wait until the next election... Protest works. We saw that even the fear of protest was enough to have a special sitting of the Dáil a few weeks ago. Militant, disruptive protest won concessions from the government."
It has to be done again.

This is excellent political messaging. @ZackPolanski hits straight to the core of the problem. This system is intolerable and it must be overcome: production should be organized around human well-being and ecology, not around maximizing profits for the rich.

Disappointment for growers and eaters.. #horticulture
"It is becoming ever clearer to growers that government is not prepared to intervene in the supply chain and this will result in more businesses closing, leaving larger gaps in the UK’s food security,”
