IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

The Fascists Are Trying to Break You, Good People. Don't Let Them. Hey, good human, I wanted to remind you of some things that you might have lost sight of lately:

AMAZING CHICKENS ❤️🐓

Chickens are intelligent, social, recognise individual faces, form close friendships and communicate using dozens of distinct sounds. They purr when content, much like companion cats, and choose favourite companions to dust bathe and roost beside.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

'Carnage' at Perth greyhound track prompts calls to end racing Four dogs were injured and two euthanased after a greyhound racing event in Cannington this week, escalating calls to end the sport.

NIGHT OF CARNAGE

The death of one dog should be enough to call this industry of exploitation into question.

And yet hundreds of dogs are killed each year by greyhound racing.

The public has had enough.

It's time for governments to act.
