Impunity for elites is very bad! It is one of my hobbyhorses, but I really do trace a lot of the bad shit we have to cope with to the way that the powerful just are never held to account.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears
2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.
My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

It’s underappreciated just how radical ABC's budget proposal is. It requires deep, deep cuts.
If they are approved, it’s impossible to tell what’s on the chopping block. Libraries? Community centres? Investments that improve public safety?
I don’t know - and I don’t think ABC knows, either.
