Chery (Great Australian Pods)Just heard the end of an ad for Commonwealth Bank Travel about travelling to the USA. Jasus, talk about being tone deaf. I just double-checked and it was inserted into a podcast that was only released a couple of weeks ago! 😱 <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Advertising</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Travel</a>

Maude Nificent<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Auspol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USpol</a>Whites were separated into two (and more) classes in the USA, from the get-go (1619) Sure, the US when finally established (1776) rejected the Divine Right of Kings, but this was performance art to justify replacing a peerage system of privileged land ownership with a capitalist system of privileged landed ownership. many other imported ideas (including a class system, indentured labour and child labour) remained intact.As the US evolved, segmentation of the labour market (which sort of excluded uncoöperative Indigenous people) into *enslaved/ freed/ over-incarcerated* and *white trash* served the dominant class of whites well — it was like having a whole pool of home-grown scab labour on tap to keep the lowest caste in line. By the end of the 1861-65 US Civil War, the illiteracy rate of poor whites was in some places twenty times that of other whites (desperation is a useful thing) on top of which *indentured labour* (Mostly Chinese) helped build things like the transcontinental railway. Today the US Bureau of Labor Statistics website (if it hasn’t been purged yet) does a fine job of highlighting different wage rates, not just by gender or education but race < All women, Asian Women, Black women, Hispanic women, White not Hispanic Women) — all getting different average rates. it’s obscene, but very real and honest —— In her blog post today, Brenda Elthon mentions US education in 1943 (when the US was involved in World War II) In 1943, a US senator noted <that the Army rejected 800,000 boys who were physically fit because they couldn’t read or write.> ———— universal franchise is a great idea, but it would be nice today if some of the people voting were not just products of vocational education, and in <a href="https://aus.social/tags/australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#australia</a> we stopped allocating funding to schools based on whose kiddies have the richest parents (another of milton friedman’s not-great ideas of fairness 🙄)As much as its mesmerising to watch from a distance as the US circles the drain, i’m conscious of just how reliant australian politics is on all the BS the US has re-packaged and marketed so well — economic orthodoxy and neo-liberalism among them. we might be at the other end of the bathtub, but we are in that bathtub and we risk getting caught in the current.the US was never *great* it was all spin, but even trump campaigned on the idea that today it is not as great as it should be… so why is it still considered the gold standard in successful democracies by wannabe australian prime ministers?ffs, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#australia</a>. surely we have the capacity to think outside the box or generate an original idea or two? or at least have the sense to not follow the US down the drain?<a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/look/p/photo-of-the-day-a44?r=1g2w5q&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://open.substack.com/pub/look/p/photo-of-the-day-a44?r=1g2w5q&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email</a>

DaveBHere in <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> I'm watching the posts from the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/HandsOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandsOff</a> protests scroll past on my feed. Instead of seeing the usual professional protestor types, I am seeing normal everyday people. One post suggested the introverts are getting out there (well done leaving your comfort-zone to have a say). Another post even suggested the (gasp) Librarians are also out protesting. Those in charge would be foolish to ignore this. They likely will this time. Keep it up until enough powerful people see the writing on the wall and change occurs.Well done team. Go for it. What is happening there has world-wide repercussions. There are many people around the world who wish they could join you in person. Know we are with you in spirit.
