Being #ActuallyAutistic doesn't mean you can't take criticism or listen to feedback and act on it. Stallman's continued, privileged insistence that He Was Right got him in trouble here, NOT his #Autism

What I don't see accounted for in some #degrowth scenarios is how one copes as an isolated high tech wage laborer who can't simply make their own clothes or grow a garden without a lot of help. A lot of us are #deskilled in this way. I could sew years ago; no more, not without in-person mentoring.

After decades of forced specialization of skills in a #capitalist economy, not to mention #disabilities, I'm lucky I can make my own dinner.

"We therefore make a grave mistake if we think the #neoliberal state is intended simply to step back from markets. The unprecedented interventions by central banks into financial markets are symptomatic not of the neoliberal state’s collapse, but of its central function: to create and sustain markets at all costs."
