The UK's minimum wage has hit ?26,500 a year for full time work, an extraordinary level that may seem 'humane' but is having a devastating impact on employment and is dragging the economy down, says Mark Ellse.

Chomsky in Dublin
well, thanks for posting the talk.
I don't agree with your analysis though. Chomsky is getting older and appeared quite frail. I'm sure our mortality as a species is uppermost in his thoughts, partly because he probably hasn't too much time left himself, and partly because it's being sidelined in the escalating grab for resources, money and power.
The talk title was "can we survive real existing capitalism (rec)"
Survival is quite different to austerity. And clearly rec causing destruction of the environment is the thing that will kill us. It was therefore appropriate that much of the talk centred on the environment and how (rec) capitalism has damaged this and covered up it's "externalities" to the point that we may not survive. Most urgent of these "externalities" is probably global warming.
However, he did spend at least 1/3 of the talk discussing the current nature of banking, etc leading up to this issue.
You may very well be right Fred. I can be an arrogant fuck sometimes but that was just a spontaneous reaction to my first take on it. I respect what t you so I will try watch it again when I am not rushing. Keep up the good fight a chara!
You too Brian. Just know who your friends are! You need a few in this world. ;-)
Chomsky is still one of the good guys I think.
Also, sometimes it's easy to get so caught up in our own stuff that we lose sight of the big picture.
As an 'arrogant fuck' myself I can see where you're coming from Brian but right now, especially with the death of the witch, it's SO important that all of us that oppose the selfish,greedy, agenda of the neolibs, that we don't split hairs and we support our allies. The ONLY reason that they're able to get away with this shit is because their opponents are in disarray. We all have our own agendas, our own particular flavour of wrong, but without cohesion and a concerted effort to beat the bastards, we stand no chance. There isn't enough time or space for our own agendas unless we want to concede the planet and it's death (Chomsky's speech) to the NeoLiberal (NeoCon-no difference) destruction mindset then we will win the odd battle but WE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE THE WAR.
