#social hardship

[mexicanistnet]

A landmark 1984 study in Mexico City exposed the roots of juvenile delinquency. Troubled homes, harsh environments, and a lack of opportunity pushed young men into crime, creating a stark portrait of social hardship.

I love charthur but also thinks a lot ab it in a "a guy who's only real (arguably) relationships of any sorts involved him changing or hiding parts of himself and a guy who's probably never been in a long term relationship due to being on his own for twenty-ish(?) years walk into a bar together and try to hold hands" kind of way

I want to remind people of some of the self-destructive behavior we see conducted by giant corporations.

Today's giant US and Multinational Corporations do not exist to produce goods and services people need or want.

Instead, these giant corporations act as passthroughs to funnel money directly into the pockets of shareholders. Corporations will often engage in self-destructive or self-harming policies that bankrupt their companies, but manage to funnel ENORMOUS funds into shareholder pockets in the meantime. Then, we quickly see the govt swoop in and use tax-payer dollars to back the losses of those shareholders, making it so they've privatized the gains and socialized the losses.

These companies's behavior can often seem completely inexplicable when looked at outside the context of dividend payments and dividend recapitalization.

Dividend recapitalization itself is one the greatest examples of ruinous behavior by a corporation that benefits shareholders at the expense of employees and customers both.

A Dividend Recapitalization occurs when a company decides to go into debt with the express purpose of using that debt to pay dividends to shareholders and nothing else. None of the borrowed money is reinvested in the company or its employees.

This can easily result in a company's bankruptcy if it falls onto hard times immediately following a Dividend Recapitalization.

For example, in April 2002, KB Toys went deeply into debt to perform a Dividend Recapitalization, paying tens of millions of dollars in dividends to its shareholders and investors. By January 2004, KB Toys had filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, citing its Dividend Recapitalization process as the reason for its bankruptcy.

And you can find endless examples of this throughout recent history. It is unquestionable that Dividend Recapitalization is harmful, not just to the companies in question, but to the millions of tax payers who take a hit every time something like this happens.

The logical answer would be to ban Dividend Recapitalization completely, but our corrupt Neoliberal Govt is only interested in serving the desires of the Ruling Class. They could care less that Dividend Recapitalization often comes at a price for Taxpayers.

It is undoubtable that we need to have democratic control over the economy. At the moment, we barely have any democratic control over any other part of our society, let alone the economy.

It is well past time the Working Class of the US rise up in rebellion against the Capitalist Class and all their various tools of control that allow them to manipulate elections and retain control over the political machinery of the United States.

Dystopia is here and it's not going anywhere until the people take back what's ours.

AND there are canons where Bruce is perfectly well-adjusted, has hobbies, hangs out with his friends, loves his family, and is a perfectly normal, sweet guy other than the whole "billionaire and Batman" thing. But Alfred gets all the blame and none of the credit with you "Alfred was a bad parent" people.

But??? I never said?? Alfred was bad???

Really good art™️ Fun to send asks to and chat with ™️ Fruit™️(like eating them and stuff)

< 3 < 3 < 3

Thank you ;___; it's been so lovely chatting with you too!

I don't think *i* realized how much I like fruit until I started playing Gum and was like. Oh. This was something I gave him, a little piece of me, a crumb of my love. How I yearn to sink my teeth into the skin of a grape, the light sweetness of cantaloupe on my lips, the texture of a banana with the perfect amount of spots. So it's *really* funny as being associated with fruit and not like.... Jack Daniel's whiskey as a food item lol.

If I were to add on to that rant a little more

“I hope the professor and the class likes my art at this critique” the one thing i have learned that has helped me improve so quickly in my short time at my university is that you should just constantly share your work with your classmates and professors. Like the whole semester, so you can get constant feedback. Please i promise to you, dont work in secret from your instructor just to wow them as some sort of sick cool reveal, thats not how you effectively learn to grow and gain new ideas and feedback as an artist lol. Dont ever feel bad about potentially “bugging them too much” either, if they don’t wanna see constant art from students they shouldn’t be teaching unfortunately 🫣 i promise you the teachers you’ll learn cool stuff from will always be open to seeing your progress
