And yes, the #Trump #Regime is dellusional thinking the #USA is irreplaceable when in fact it most certainly is!

#Manufacturers like "P.R." #China, #Vietnam, #Japan, #India et. al. are quick to #pivot to other #markets like the #EU and the #GlobalSouth.

  • Just like penalizing #tariffs and #taxes in #Brazil didn't really get them much #industrialization and instead merely made certain items and products just unaffordably expensive to import and buy.

The matter of the fact is that this ain't 1945: the #US needs the #world more than vice-versa, espechally since the world moves on and both #EU and #NATO will continue to exist, thrive and expand even without the USA!

"The Gare Saint-Lazare, Arrival of a Train," Claude Monet, 1877.

You all know Monet.

This is one of a series of 12 he did inside a Paris train station. It's also regarded as one of this greatest works, with the billows of smoke/steam filling the cavernous terminal, and the blues that dominate the color scheme.

The series depicted the station in different weather conditions and from different perspectives. It also differs somewhat from the Impressionist cliche of gardens and parks; here Monet looks at industrialization in a world shedding the past and taking on modernity.

And now these trains seem quaint and old-fashioned.....

From the Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA.

An Impressionist painting. We're standing in a vast train station. To the right, a train is arrived, the clouds of steam/smoke filling the vast area. Several figures are standing, watching it come in. To the left, a train car stands on the tracks, and to the far left we can see a crowd milling about. The canvas is dominated by blues, with some touches of other colors.

Africa: Has Finance for Green Industry Had an Impact in Africa?: [The Conversation Africa] The African continent finds itself in a predicament. Advanced economies in the rest of the world developed through industrialisation: their economies transformed from mainly agricultural to industrial. This involved burning fossil fuels like coal, generating greenhouse gas emissions that caused global warming. newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJ1Q #Africa #GreenFinance #Sustainability #ClimateChange #Industrialization

"So long as millions of human beings in every country has to sell their labour-power to a small minority of owners, and to sink into the most wretched misery if they could find no buyers, the so called “equality before the law” remains a pious fraud, since the laws are made by those who find themselves in possession of the social wealth. But in the same way there can also be no talk of a “right over one's own person,” for that right ends when one is compelled to submit to the economic dictation of another if he does not want to starve."

I wrote this several years ago... [Long Post]

#Insurance is about pooling resources and sharing risk. A simple thought experiment will help illustrate why “health insurance” is a misnomer.

Consider a group of one thousand homeowners who are worried about house fires. They band together and create an insurance pool for protection against such losses. If homes are worth $100,000 and there is one fire per year, annually they would have to chip in $100 each. Fortunately the risky event is rare, so the cost of insurance is low.

Compare this with #HealthInsurance (which is actually insurance against illness). We have the same thousand people, of which half (500) consume an average of $10,000 of healthcare services each year ($5M).

#Illness is NOT a rare event and the annual premium jumps to $5,000 per person! Many of the younger, healthier people ask why they should be paying for somebody else’s infirmity? They withdraw from the pool and premiums skyrocket. Eventually the pool collapses and those who actually need care loose their coverage. In some cases financial ruin ensues. The U.S. is the only major society in the world where Medical Bankruptcy is not only possible, but common!

👉 The key difference is that almost everyone will utilize healthcare services at some point in their lives. The insurance model breaks down under these circumstances. We are no longer sharing #risk but rather #sharing #cost.👈

This is expected—a feature, not a bug. It stems from the #industrialization of #medicine in a #capitalist environment. #Capitalism seeks profit as its major goal, regardless of other outcomes. "Outcomes" that include life, death, and disability! Once the practice of medicine becomes a business, my Father [a radiologist] once opined, "We can #lie, #cheat, and #steal with the rest of them."

#Industrialization and the machine are here, you cannot do away with them; they take their right place only when man is not dependent for his happiness on things, only when he cultivates inner riches, the imperishable treasures of reality. Without these mere industrialization brings untold horrors; with inner treasures industrialization has a meaning. This problem is not of any country or race; it is a human issue. Without the balancing power of compassion and unworldliness you will have, through the mere increase of the production of things, of facts and of technique, bigger and better wars, economic oppression and frontiers of power, more subtle ways of deception, disunity and tyranny.
