Broad beliefs that "the system is rigged" shape how we understand social, economic and political issues.
But who's rigging the system? How? For whose benefit?
Great work by @frameworks.bsky.social shows how to drive productive critiques and avoid fueling harmful narratives.

There are many forces working to entrench economic inequality and erode democracy.
Is it scary? Sure. But telling the truth about the growing concentration of wealth and economic power is part of building an economy that works for more people.

Too funny. The same for shopping! Cake is always the answer.
Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳
