‘Designing #Content that Empowers, Includes and Cares’ - an interesting looking upcoming webinar from Nomensa hosted by Lauren Ellis. ⤵️
“The words we use are important. The way we communicate matters. That's why in this webinar, we'll look at how we can improve #Services that directly deal with #Trauma and #Grief. But we'll also look at how we can design everything in a way that empowers, includes and cares for people, no matter what task they're trying to do.”
According to the #ADP Report, private-sector #employment increased by 103,000 in November, with annual #wages rising by 5.6%. There was weakness in goods and #services in November, with leisure and hospitality and #manufacturing sectors in particular showing declines.#US #Economy

A new report by Resolution Foundation & Centre For Economic Performance, suggests that rather than seeing the domination of the #services sector in the UK economy as a problem for both #investment & #productivity, the UK should build on its status as a major exporter of services (from #education to architecture) to (re)build a more equal & more productive economy.
This would involve both a focus on productive industries & innovation in services productivity, but its a difficult nut to crack!

One of the single most impactful climate emergency changes: Allowing front-yard and driveway businesses.
This would make neighborhoods walkable over night. New jobs in local places. Cafes, grocery shops, repair clinics, tool libraries, arcades, and beyond - right on your street.
Destroying oil demand, commutes, and car dependency over night.
This policy change can happen in as little as 3 sentences, according to Hazel Borys and Strong Towns. pHow can we make this happen everywhere?
Check out the full video, "Why Did We Make Front Yard Businesses Illegal?", which shows some awesome examples and gets into what we can do today — from About Here, Urbanarium, and Uytae Lee.
And share and boost to get people talking about this. This is one of the first and most important changes we can make, for climate emergency transitions. From a path dependency standpoint, it needs to happen first too -- making what we can walkable and low energy to start, and then seeing what we need.

A World of Slaves:
Most Americans haven’t seen what’s coming.
Nancy MacLean notes that when the #Kochs’ control of the GOP kicked into high gear after the financial crisis of 2007-08, many were so stunned by the “shock-and-awe” tactics of #shutting #down government, #destroying #labor unions, and #rolling #back #services that meet citizens’ basic necessities that few realized that many leading the charge had been trained in economics at Virginia institutions, especially George Mason University.
Wasn’t it just a new, particularly vicious wave of partisan politics?
It wasn’t.
MacLean convincingly illustrates that it was something far more disturbing.
MacLean is not the only scholar to sound the alarm that the country is experiencing a #hostile #takeover that is well on its way to radically, and perhaps permanently, altering the society.
Peter #Temin, former head of the MIT economics department, INET grantee, and author of "The Vanishing Middle Class", as well as economist Gordon #Lafer of the University of Oregon and author of "The One Percent Solution", have provided eye-opening analyses of where America is headed and why.
MacLean adds another dimension to this dystopian big picture, acquainting us with what has been overlooked in the capitalist right wing’s playbook.
She observes, for example, that many liberals have missed the point of strategies like #privatization.
Efforts to “reform” #public #education and #Social #Security are not just about a preference for the private sector over the public sector, she argues. You can wrap your head around those, even if you don’t agree.
Instead, MacLean contends, the goal of these strategies is to radically alter power relations, #weakening pro-public forces and #enhancing the #lobbying #power and commitment of the corporations that take over public services and resources, thus advancing the plans to #dismantle #democracy and make way for a return to #oligarchy.
The majority will be held captive so that the wealthy can finally be free to do as they please, no matter how destructive.
MacLean argues that despite the rhetoric of Virginia school acolytes, shrinking big government is not really the point.
The #oligarchs require a government with tremendous new powers so that they can bypass the will of the people.
This, as MacLean points out, requires greatly #expanding #police #powers “to control the resultant popular anger.”
The spreading use of pre-emption by GOP-controlled state legislatures to suppress local progressive victories such as living wage ordinances is another example of the right’s #aggressive use of #state #power.
👉Could these right-wing capitalists allow private companies to fill #prisons with helpless citizens—or, more profitable still, right-less undocumented #immigrants? ☑️They could, and have.
👉Might they engineer a #retirement #crisis by moving Americans to inadequate 401(k)s? ☑️Done.
👉Take away the rights of consumers and workers to bring grievances to court by making them sign #forced #arbitration agreements? ☑️Check.
👉Gut #public #education to the point where ordinary people have such bleak prospects that they have no energy to fight back? ☑️Getting it done.
👉Would they even refuse children #clean #water? ☑️Actually, yes.
MacLean notes that in #Flint, Michigan, Americans got a taste of what the emerging oligarchy will look like — it tastes like #poisoned #water. There, the Koch-funded Mackinac Center pushed for legislation that would allow the governor to take control of communities facing emergency and put unelected managers in charge.
In Flint, one such manager switched the city’s water supply to a polluted river, but the Mackinac Center’s lobbyists ensured that the law was fortified by protections against lawsuits that poisoned inhabitants might bring. Tens of thousands of children were exposed to #lead, a substance known to cause serious health problems including brain damage.
Libertarian economist Tyler #Cowen has provided an economic #justification for this kind of #brutality, stating that where it is difficult to get clean water, private companies should take over and make people pay for it. “This includes giving them the right to cut off people who don’t—or can’t—pay their bills,” he explains.
To many this sounds grotesquely #inhumane, but it is a way of thinking that has deep roots in America.
In "Why I, Too, Am Not a Conservative" (2005), Buchanan considers the charge of #heartlessness made against the kind of classic liberal that he took himself to be.
MacLean interprets his discussion to mean that people who “failed to foresee and save money for their future needs” are to be treated, as Buchanan put it, “as #subordinate members of the species, akin to…#animals who are dependent.’”
Do you have your education, health care, and retirement personally funded against all possible exigencies?
Then that means #you.
That being said #AIX and the #RS6000 is as far away from a #consumer #PC as #zArchitecture, #DB2 and a lot of other #IBM products...
After all #Services make #Software,
Software makes #Operating Systems,
#OperatingSystems make #Hardware.
Otherwise noone would deal with #AMD64 and everyone would've transitioned to #ARM64 or even #RiscV #128Bit ages ago...

Now the dust has settled on the #ONS data revisions, the euphoria of #JeremyHunt looks a little misplaced... the overall revision is upwards, but the detailed figures show:
while #services output has been considerably raised, manufacturing, construction, agriculture and oil & gas extraction have all declined.
So, in the earlier data, since #Brexit, #agriculture had increased by 11.7%, but now has dropped by 7%
& the iron & steel sector from a rise of 56% between 2019-22 to a decline of 66%!

Larry Elliot observes two key issues about the domination of #services in the UK economy:
1. services firms are concentrated in #London & SE increasing the problem of regional #inequality;
2. Despite their success, they cannot counter the massive deterioration in the #balanceoftrade in commodities & manufactured goods, that is driving our worsening trade deficit;
to which I would add:
3. due to their character services do little for the UK's #productivity problem!

Going to throw a couple more hashtags for discoverability #homeless #Boston and recommend you also see if Simón Rios - https://www.wbur.org/inside/staff/simon-rios - might be able to get back on the #housing and #houselessness beat.
So much news coverage, if it is covered at all—which it only is for the breakup of large #encampments which is one reason mayors try to displace early and often—ignores the people who are most affected entirely or treats city claims of #services offered at face value.
What techniques or tools do you use in your #community #organizing ?
What would your ideal #software or #services to facilitate people self-organizing look like?
Another case of the #privatesector seeing the #publicsector as a key market for #services... in this case peddling the comms, but incorrect notion that #benefits #fraud is a major problem .... it isn't!
Some years ago Kevin Farnsworth coined the term 'corporate welfare' for the range of interactions between firms & Govt. departments, often ensuring such firms were partly shielded from the more difficult & competitive markets they normally work in....
This company called #fleek has been offering a "deploy to IPFS" #Web3 platform called https://fleek.xyz
They have recently released the #whitepaper for #fleekNetwork which not only has #IPFS but also decentralized edge CDN.

Why people think Singaporeans like to grumble a lot. 🙂
"SINGAPORE: Some say Singaporeans complain more than anyone else. And when it comes to municipal issues, OneService can put a number on it – 1.7 million.
That is how many complaints Singapore residents submit in one year to the government-run app that collects feedback on estate problems."

This gives a clue for how to handle consumable items like #food or #services in a #library as well - they're just loans that don't expire!
Unlike items, they can't be returned, but they're available to library members, and importantly can use the exact same inventory and borrowing tools as books and tools.
So, got lots of zucchini from your garden and don't know what to do with it? Go on your app, and just list it as part of the #library

Tim Scott's #Dark #Money operation:
According to F.E.C. filings last week, the Tim #Scott #campaign made $4.3 million in payments from April 1 to June 30 to a company called #Meeting #Street #Services L.L.C.
The money included $2.8 million for “placed media” and more for digital fund-raising, strategy and video production.
Meeting Street Services has no online presence, and has not been paid by any other campaign, records show. Its listed #address, in North Charleston, S.C., is a #Staples store. Records show that the company was set up in Delaware in August 2022, and its incorporation documents list only one name — #Barry M. #Benjamin — as an authorized representative.
According to business records in South Carolina, the company is managed by #AMZ #Holdings L.L.C., a company set up in May 2021 and based at the same Staples store in North Charleston.
AMZ’s Delaware incorporation documents were also signed by Mr. Benjamin.
Mr. Scott’s campaign did not provide information about Mr. Benjamin or further details about the companies. Efforts to independently determine Mr. Benjamin’s identity were unsuccessful.
There are several notable #absences in the campaign’s second-quarter campaign finance disclosure filing, including #Targeted #Victory, a major political fund-raising firm that has said it works for the campaign, and #FP1 #Strategies, a political advertising firm, which was also reportedly brought on by the campaign.
Several people from the two firms who are working for the campaign also do not appear in the disclosure.
Mr. Scott’s use of Meeting Street Services L.L.C. predates his entry into the presidential race. In the last four months of 2022, his Senate campaign paid the company more than $4.5 million, filings show, for television ads, digital fund-raising and other consulting.
And his presidential campaign reported an additional $1 million spent with Meeting Street Services in the first quarter of this year, even though his campaign had not officially begun.
The Scott campaign also made more than $940,000 in payments last quarter to #Advanced #Planning and #Logistics, a limited liability company set up in December 2022 — again, by Mr. #Benjamin — and whose listed address is a Staples store in Fairfax, Va.
The company received multiple payments for air travel and event production. Again, Mr. Scott’s campaign was the only campaign that paid the company
