Unfortunately, I’ve never had a paid job so I don’t have money. This is very kind of you, Lyric. My best wishes go to Heather.

I do feel capitalism is a worldwide phenomenon… I wrote about this in my assignment on Insecurity and Precariousness in a Globalised World. It is a system that pits us against each other and also why people end up, voting against their own needs. It goes beyond Marxism concept of bourgeoisie and the proletariat. According to Guy Standing precariat is the class lower than proletariat because it refers to those on low income who work in “gig economy” such as care workers and delivery drivers. It also includes others who are marginalised in society including Neurodivergent and disabled people… I do like the idea of mutual aid, as it community based puts us at more at same level, rather than hierarchy… I have found recently in the UK that politicians have been pulled up on tax evasions etc and as a result MPs are resigning from roles their roles in the British government.
