If a real estate crash in apartments in China caused millions to lose their savings, it did have the benefit of making housing much more affordable for those entering the market. Perhaps the same could be said for a real estate crash in the U.S., if one does occur. #RealEstate #housing

China has just one shitty political party, but we in the U.S. have two -- does that make us better, or worse? #china #U.S. #politics #parties #communism #capitalism

Skilled work is very precise, exact things clicking into place, laid out with all the tools and parts, completed in due time, pack up tools and materials, the day is done. Time for a drink and thinking about dinner. Sleep well, and look forward to tomorrow, when there will be work to be done. #work

Having a fake stock market, fake prosperity, shaky economy, and cruel inflation in housing, medical care, insurance and consumer goods, is the final touch of the enshittification of everything. #fake #enshittification

Potting shed, a screened room, some compost bins, just before the first big rain of the season. The new post at the center of the photo is to keep me from falling down as I turn the corner. This has been a year in which there has been a plague of rats, mice and voles. Voles are the biggest problem.

It seems unAmerican that one (of our only two) major parties is blatantly racist, but there it is... #racist #unAmerican #GOP

Our economy is based on consumption. Yet people elsewhere deprive themselves of things to save money. But our majority does not earn enough to have much left after expenses -- so in our consumer economy only a tiny minority can actually afford our lifestyles. #consumers #economy

James Joyce, "Ulysses," Nightown. From the right, Bloom, Private Carr, Stephen, the King. Private Carr is about to strike a blow that knocks Stephen out, for mocking the English King. Thought of my old illustration in relation to certain current events... #JamesJoyce #Ulysses #Kings #morons
