Le réarmement est une opportunité pour le capital d'obtenir des réductions de la protection sociale et des services publics, au prix d'une baisse de la rentabilité.

Chatham House : « Les hommes politiques devront se préparer à récupérer de l'argent en réduisant les allocations de maladie, les pensions de retraite et les soins de santé. »

La ministre britannique des finances, Rachel Reeves n'a cessé de réduire les dépenses consacrées aux allocations familiales, aux allocations d'hiver pour les personnes âgées et aux prestations d'invalidité. Elle a annoncé que les attributions du nouveau Fonds national de richesse du gouvernement "travailliste" seraient modifiées afin de lui permettre d'investir dans "la défense" (en fait l'industrie de l'armement).

L'augmentation des dépenses militaires stimule la croissance mais peut nuire à la « santé » du processus d'accumulation capitaliste (en) https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2025/03/22/from-welfare-to-warfare-military-keynesianism/

WHO SAW THE MOST SNOW?:

The latest March weekend #storm system to pass through the #Northland brought decent #snowfall to some locations.

The Arrowhead, Rainy River Basin, and South Shore snowbelt regions saw 5 to 10+ inches of #accumulation.

Others can thanks a dry slow for lower amounts, or just a mix of #snow and #rain.

What's striking about #capitalist civilization is that it has no real direction. There's no vision for social #progress, no commitment to improving #human #welfare or #ecology. All we get is the #chaos of #profit-oriented #production & #accumulation as the world burns around us.

NEXT STORM SYSTEM:

The next #storm system planning to come through parts of the #Northland Tuesday night and Wednesday will bring #snow #showers to northwest Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula.

Decent #accumulation totals are looking likely the farther east you live in these regions.

WEEKEND SNOWFALL TOTALS:

The #snow #showers across the #Northland since Valentine's Day have contained big and fluffy #snowflakes.

Thanks to a northeast #breeze creating #lakeeffect bands, and you get some decent #snowfall totals. Some spots saw 9 to 12 inches of #accumulation.

More lake effect snow showers continue for the #UpperPeninsula through Monday.

FEW SNOW SHOWERS:

Just as it was forecasted, a few light #snow #showers are passing through northwest #Wisconsin and the #UpperPeninsula late this afternoon.

They are moving quick and will likely leave very little #accumulation by late evening.

Happy #Wednesday afternoon from the #Northland!

It's been #calm and close to #seasonal for the region today...so far.

#Snow #showers are developing and moving in. Everyone should expect them by this evening and continue overnight with at least a couple inches of new #accumulation.

#TeenVogue: "It’s really a question of whether anyone can ever be “self-made,” or whether this is the language of a larger myth that justifies wealth #inequality. The self-made myth conceals the multitude of barriers to wealth #accumulation and reinforces the notion that if you’re poor, it’s because you’re lazy or made bad choices. The notion that a #billionaire has worked hard for every penny of their wealth is simply fanciful."

#SNOW #SQUALL #WARNING:

A line of snow #showers moving through northwest #Wisconsin will bring a quick burst of #accumulation.

Strong #wind gusts are also reducing #visibility below one mile

All this will make it tougher to drive as it passes through.

The accumulation of capital
While the whole world seems to be masturbating over Elon Musk pictures and indulging in this miserable bourgeois view of history, that a few individuals are responsible for the evils of the world and that if they were gone, everything would be totally wonderful. The history-interested reader wonders which school everyone went to.

History and thus the present are historically determined (who would have thought it) phenomena like Musk and Trump are just like Biden and Harris phenomena of our time, which arise from the inevitable misguided development of the system based on private capital. Inevitably (in the German vernacular, one says: the devil shits on the biggest heap) capital will accumulate, that is, one of the competitors in the free market will prevail. First oligarchies will form, then monopolies and empires. Power accumulates with capital and there will be neither democracy nor any form of free market. And that is not a new despotic form of capitalism or liberalism, which is always associated with fascism, but the abolition of itself. Capital cannibalizes itself.

All this can be known. In 1912, Rosa Luxemburg wrote “The Accumulation of Capital”. If I can't or won't read this because of anti-communism, I'm missing one of the works of the great thinkers of humanity!
However, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, READ! READ!!!

HOW MUCH SNOW & HOW MUCH MORE?:

As forecasted, the northern areas of the #Northland saw the highest #snowfall totals since Sunday, with those north of Highway 2 seeing some #accumulation.

#Lake #effect #snow #showers resume tonight along the #SouthShore snowbelt region. Expect a couple inches by Tuesday morning.

SOUTH SHORE LAKE EFFECT:

As #snow #showers wrap up across most of the #Northland after tonight, a persistent northwest #breeze will keep lake effect snow showers ongoing along the South Shore region.

Some spots in the #UpperPeninsula could receive 12 to 20 inches of #accumulation by the end of the weekend.

NORTHLAND FORECAST FOR NOVEMBER 25, 2024:

#Widespread #snow #showers pass through the #Northland Sunday night and Monday with light #winds and #temperatures holding steady in the 30s. Everyone will see at least a few inches of #accumulation.

As snow showers move out Monday afternoon, a west wind increases and begins to cool temperatures.

Happy #Thursday afternoon from the #Northland!

It's a #weather trick than a treat for #Halloween for the southern half of our region. #Rain and #snow #showers will persist through the evening, with several inches of #accumulation.

The rest of us are mostly #dry with a cooler end to October. A #breeze is making it feel below #freezing.

#HALLOWEEN SNOW:

For the second year in a row, the end of October will see #winter-like #weather rather than #fall-like conditions.

Another round of #showers will pass through the #Northland Thursday, and this time it will include a mix of #rain and #snow.

Some #snowfall over the #TwinPorts and northwest #Wisconsin will be heavy at times, leading to a decent #accumulation and sloppy roads.
