it feels like the producers successfully harvested the most autistic part of my brain

Il y a quelques années, le groupe CollecTerr, composé d’étudiants et doctorants de Genève, avait mis en ligne une énorme quantité de ses écrits librement sur l’Archive Ouverte de l’Université de Genève. Merci à elle•eux, merci à lui pour cet héritage.

absolument pas c'est de la discrimination (illégal) + (cf autre com) pas du tout comparable aux sanctions qui visent des individus, des entreprises, des biens et des devises clairement identifiés + et que faire dans le cas XY où un État perpètre un génocide contre une partie de sa population ?

The laborers were hired by Goumina's company, which in turn worked for the grape producer, who himself sells his production to agricultural cooperatives who then supply Champagne houses. In this case, the grape notably ended up in Moët & Chandon (LVMH) champagne.

The article points out how the complexification of the labor and supply chain for Champagne makes it difficult to hold the big houses at the end of the chain accountable in these modern slavery cases.

They were housed in inhuman conditions and had two minders, who also got a jail sentence. Less than 1 sq.m per person, no running water, no electricity, no toilet, very little food, 10-hour workdays. Most of them were never paid.

Grape producers usually outsource the hiring of seasonal laborers to independent companies, like that owned by Goumina. The 47 men were recruited in and around Paris and transported to the outskirts of Épernay (Marne) in a bus.. for which they had to pay the ticket.

PS : i also didn't know what a "dromocracy" was before. The concept was coined in the 70s by french architect Paul Virilio and refers to societies governed by speed and the pursuit of speed (in greek: dromos - race). Even more jargonny : it is a pouvoir/mouvoir

In the end, this #PaxLogistica shows how logistics work with authoritarianism to pursue dromocratic ideals that are also geopolitical goals. Local pursuits of war, 'peace', national construction and territorial control are woven into global scripts of 'connectivity', 'development' and the like.

But the #Zangezur corridor is also the reimagination of a decades-old Soviet highway project vital to the Az SSR that never came to be because of Armenian opposition, but prefigured the 'Goble plan' proposed land swap in the 1990s - which in turned traumatized everyone.
