"Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century
[…]
• Data on real wages suggests that, historically, extreme poverty was uncommon and arose primarily during periods of severe social and economic dislocation, particularly under colonialism.
• The rise of capitalism from the long 16th century onward is associated with a decline in wages to below subsistence, a deterioration in human stature, and an upturn in premature mortality.
• In parts of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, wages and/or height have still not recovered."

@histodons 🧶

incomes are just below extreme poverty between 1750 and 1900. India daily income per person for a family of four, with one family member working 12 months a year as an unskilled urban labourer, decadal averages (1 = extreme poverty line).

"Spreading fear and silencing
[…]
"As it silences and threatens to sanction any dissent against Israel, its apartheid system, and its crimes against humanity as antisemitic, it is obvious that the government and parliament intend to spread fear of being branded antisemitic, being criminalised and persecuted for expressing your opinion as a basic individual citizenship right.

"From the very beginning of Zionism in the late 19th century, #Germany has joyfully and wholeheartedly embraced what Theodor Herzl offered to the “West”.

"By demanding support for the Zionist movement from European powers, he submitted the offer that in Palestine the Zionists would “form a portion of the rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of #civilisation as opposed to barbarism”.

Middle East EyeThis is not Holocaust guilt - it's entrenched German racist superiorityWith the idea of the racist civilisation-barbarism divide so embedded in Germany, it is no surprise its parliament has sided with Israel's genocidal Zionists against the Palestinians

#Oakland’s Financial Stability at ‘Significant Risk,’ as #AlamedaCounty #Coliseum & #Stadium #LandGrab payment from "African American Sports and Entertainment Group" is #GoneTilNovember . Delay now means $48 million in cuts and #budget #emergency measures must be implemented including power #brownouts, rotating fire station services and deep reductions in policing by over a hundred officers to 600. (San Francisco has over 4x as many #LawEnforcement officers covering half as much ground, and #OaklandCA has corresponding #murder & #crime rates that far exceed national & regional avgs)

#Kenya is one of the world's largest producers of cut flowers. Most are exported to the Netherlands and then sold throughout Europe.
The state is accelerating concentration of agricultural and horticultural production for big firms. How will small producers and peasant farms respond?

"The mandatory rules, which the government has stated will be ‘anchored in law’, will mean only large farmers, companies, and importers will be permitted to supply fruit and vegetables in Kenya, with any trader buying fruit and vegetables from uncertified farmers facing stiff penalties.
"The penalties will apply to [any] buyer who purchases fruit and vegetables from any farmer who has not been certified as having implemented the 55-page, mandatory, KS1758 Kenyan standard."

Wow - A couple of prominent Ontarians have put #DougFord on the spot by offering to pay the roof repair cost on the #Ontario Science Centre in order to keep it open this summer.

Will the Premier say yes? 🤔 How embarrassing would that be if Ontario taxpayers have to crowd-fund to save our provincial assets.

She holds an Irish passport and both her parents have Irish visas as she is their sole carer. But the Israeli authorities have declined to add her father to a list compiled by the Egyptian authorities of people approved to pass through the Rafah crossing out of Gaza. What's Mícheál Martin, Minister for Foreign Affairs, doing for them?
