Ralph Nade has written several books on the airline industry and the lack of safety.
He has interviewed several engineers who worked for Boeing and were fired because they complained about the lack of safety and the use of low-quality parts to reduce costs and increase profits. Workers are exhausted due to the pressure and long hours to produce the aeroplanes, and motivate them to commit mistakes on the assembly line.
They were saying that many new aeroplanes can only last several years of flying, but the parts will fail while they are flying, and aeroplanes will crash and kill thousands of passengers; the executives knew about these problems, and government agencies knew about them, but they covered up their crimes.
Courts have dismissed several cases, and the lawyers have presented solid evidence in court, but despite that, their cases have been dismissed, saving billions of dollars to the airline industry
Boeing is not the only airliners which has been under safety escrutinity also airbus has been included
Boeing aeroplanes have structural weaknesses, wing malfunctions, wiring problems, software malfunctions, gasoline tanks ( wings ) malfunction, and cabin problems.

https://www.ebay.com/p/26573. I have read this book, and it would be better not to fly on those aeroplanes; it would be better to fly in the old propeller aeroplanes. They are not safe; they are flying coffins.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er-4BASH4mQ.The USA Congress knows about Boeing’s criminality, but many of them are getting money from Boeing and its executives. They do not care about the death of human beings; they only care about getting rich. Brainless; call them their representatives, probably their representatives at the cemetery
This is our lovely capitalist society
Millions of asian carps are being killed because it is a so-called invasive species, but the reality is that people were eating fish for free, and the commercial fishing was losing profits. Animals are not invasive; they emigrate like human beings from one area to another, looking for food and to lay eggs, but these nationalists do not understand nature and become mouthpieces of the capitalist class. Wild pigs can be placed in a protected area, but they are being killed with machine guns
And to destroy the native people, the US exterminated millions of bison, on which the people depended. The whites machine-gunned bison and left the bodies to rot.
And scalping was encouraged as it proved you had killed “injuns.” Scalps were exchanged for cash.————————————————————————————-
Bison meat and skin are a business that generates billions of dollars in profits; the natives only took from nature what they needed for their families. Chinese capitalist farming is killing all of the animals, and “socialist” followers of China are silent about this holocaust. They are killing thousands of horses, donkeys, rabbits, pigeons, doves, goats, bison, buffalo, cows, pigs, whale killed by Japanese fishing businesses.
There were millions of bisons and they were reduced to several hundred; all of them were killed
Blankets infested with smallpox and measles were given to native americans to kill all of them, as the new president of Colombia says: In one hand I had the rifle and in the other hand I have the bible
The historian Francis Jennings, who nobody read, wrote about this injustice committed against the natives and the advanced civilization that they had.
Lewis became a member of one of the native nations. Trump wants to eliminate the Smithsonian Institute because it has published the real history about the Natives and the Black peoples and a bunch of people are supporting that
https://www.drovers.com/news/bison-returned-brink-just-time-climate-changeMy father, a member of the SPGB, brought me up with great respect for the native Americans.
——————————————
The killing of 70 million native americans is call discovery, and the killing of several thousand is called Thanksgiving. From owners of the land, they became renters. After 500 years, they continue suffering discrimination, humiliation and rejection, and they are called foreigners. Their families were destroyed; that is a real Holocaust, and it was not done by German Nazis, and they have never been compensated. They were not allowed to have guns, but others were allowed to have guns to kill them

It is a sport to produce profits. We have cats, and they are part of our family; they decorate our windows, and they are our alarm clock in the morning. Many dogs have saved the lives of many children

So much hysteria about the so-called Cuban communism and possible invasion, and leaders have agreed to make financial investments to produce profit, using foreign investors to cover the reality.
Some workers believed the crap about liberators and national liberation; national liberation has only liberated one ruling class from another ruling class, and with the expansion of capitalism and gangsterism, the nation-state is disappearing
My father, a member of the SPGB, brought me up with great respect for the native Americans.
———————————————————-I have visited their reservations and nations, have attended their jamboree, and I have lived close to one of them.
They are good people, beaten badly by this society.
I am a member of some of their online forums. Yahoo groups used to have many forums, but they are all gone.
As they say: We signed thousands of treaties with the white men, and all of them were violated except one. They promised to take our lands, and they did it. They are double-tongued
They are foreigners in their own land, living in extreme poverty, alcoholism, and drug addictions; thousands of natives women disappear every year, and the feminist groups do not mention them.
It is the same case for the Mexican natives: Mexican natives did not cross the border; the border crossed them, and now they are foreigners in stolen lands.
Native women are not mentioned because they are not white and they are poor. I was beaten up in this forum because I said it is just a bourgeois movement, and I will say it here and in the grave
They are killing protected wild horses ( Mustangs ) to produce meat, and they are selling them for $25.00, cheaper than during the time of the Wild West and the cowboys. Anything that can produce profits is a priority in this society, and some humans only care about worshipping leaders and loving capitalism. They are also killing large quantities of donkeys; peasants protect them and mix them with horses to breed mules.

Beautiful animals; the natives used to protect them. Horses were part of their culture, and they were called savages; who is the real savage? They protected the forest, and they were destroyed to produce lumber; they protected the salmon, and rivers were destroyed. Salmon farms produce diseases, and they use artificial colours. Overfishing is destroying ocean life, and petroleum tankers spread diseases in the ocean. This society is a real mess.s
Capitalism is destroying everything; humans are the next one on the list. A bunch of people are justifying the climate disaster; they believe more in the politicians than in scientific investigations. There is a great disregard for science. Everything that is a lie is believable, and everything scientific is rejected.
I breed birds, and sometimes I let them fly when they are grown.
My pigeons come back to my loft, but the finches, mourning doves, and parakeets do not come back. Only hummingbirds come back to the original place.
The problem with these small animals in the wild is that it is very difficult for them to survive (especially society finches); it is preferable to keep them in an aviary. They always have food seeds and fruits ), clean water, plants and a nest to reproduce.
I produce my own vegetables, and I have a bank of original seeds and my own seeding trays. I am a self-educated agronomist. I love nature like the indigenous peoples. I like to read my books in my garden, and many beautiful wild birds visit my garden, where I have seeds and water for them
Barnes and Noble is acquiring used bookstores that are having financial difficulties, which means that they can also scan books and use them for their Nook digital readers.
To scan a book, they must remove the spine of the book using a guillotine and turn it into a PDF.
Kindle writers use Grammarly to check their writing, and old books can be double-checked too by editing them.
Apple has its own book-reading software; it is more polished than Kindle, and it transfers textbooks in colour and PDF. It is like reading a physical book, but the devices are very expensive.
Law students and medical students are using them
There are concerns about their violations on copyrights but some old books are in the public domain
If banks can create money from thin air instead of needing depositors, why is the USA secretly giving them a new bailout? They need cash, as the human body needs blood to transport oxygen and nutrients. The writer of this article was a New York Times journalist, and he is an expert in taxation and financing. I have used the word default for rhetoric, but the USA will never go into bankruptcy, and capitalism can not collapse by itself, and Marx never said that capitalism will collapse by itself.
There is a mistake in that article. Argentina did not get a 40 billion bailout; it was originally meant to be a loan through Chase and Citibank, and they did not approve the loan. The US Treasury Department issued a monetary swap of 20 billion, and Argentina used 2.5 billion. They paid it back, and the US government made a huge profit from the transaction. It was not money coming from the workers; it was money invested by the capitalist class
The USA treasurer is a billionaire and an investor in a hedge fund, and he knows the mechanism behind this type of transaction; the USA did not give free money to Argentina
I sent them a message clarifying that Leninism is not Marxism and that Marx was not a Marxist either; even more, he said that it was anti-dialectical.
That is one of the problems with this article because Leninism is not Marxism, and he makes two separations that are not appropriate: Marxism ( Leninism ) and Marx; it should have been Lenin and Marx.
The concept of Marxism was initiated by Bakunin; some close collaborators of Marx and Engels continued wrongly using the same term without thinking about the origin of the term, but he was trying to defend his friend
The Maximilien Rubem article is not very objective because Engels was not the founder of Marxism, and the concept of dialectical materialism was not created by Marx or Plekhanov; it was created by Geitzgen.
The so-called Marx’s three sources written by Lenin are wrong; he did not mention the concept of class struggles, the labour theory of value prevailing in the soviet union, and the materialist concept of history.
Thomas Moore wrote a very good article about scientific socialism. ( It has been translated ) I sent them three articles written by the SPGB on Marxism, Scientific Socialism, and Capitalist debt and taxation.
All this mess about USA debt proves what we have said for several years ( some members have questioned it ): that the burden of taxation falls on the profits of the capitalist class, and the leftwinger’s concept of the workers as taxpayers and the national debt and the financing of wars and bank bailouts, are wrong. The state is financed with surplus value, and workers do not have any state budget, and the national debt is the debt of the capitalist class
.
I explained to them that countries like the USA will not go into debt default; they have the resources to increase taxation to more than 50% on capitalist profits, and the Congress of the USA will not allow a personal dictatorship.FDR passed a resolution thru the congress to increase taxation to 85% during the great depression; despite some capitalist opposition, the resolution was approved, and they can also reverse Trump’s tax cut if they obtain the majority in the midterm election. In any way, the whole debt is fictitious capital.l
Argentina went into default or meltdown because nobody wanted to extend more loans to them; their credit rating was too low, and the last time with Milei was a monetary swap, and Chase and Citibank did not approve the 40 billion dollars loans,
China has issued several loans and monetary swaps to the government of Milei even though he does not want to deal with Communists, the same thing as Trump, who is negotiating with the Cuban government to invest in a hotel, casino, and golf club, and in 2008 he violated the Cuban blockade, which they do not want to call an embargo.
The federal government has been violating its own blockade by issuing pre paid letter of credit to ship agricultural and avicular products to Cuba; the packing list must be approved by the USA Commerce Department, and the bill of lading is issued by a USA shipping company, and the transaction is done through a commercial bank who collects fees and they do the funding from a prepaid account, it is like a secured credit card
All that hysteria about communism is just electoral propaganda; they know what Cuba really is, and they know that the democratic socialists are not going to make any radical changes, as an American ambassador told the soviets: We are aware that you are developing state capitalism. The capitalists have more class consciousness than the working class

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quakers_in_Latin_America
Quakers in South America
Many Quakers in Bolivia and Peru are working along with indigenous peoples on communes and agriculture; they call themselves socialists.
Several Quaker communities lived along with US native.s
The secular atheists want them to be wiped out completely, which makes no difference to the white Christian nationalists regarding other ethnic groups; they are also peaceful people.
In a socialist society like the Amish, they must be respected too.
The Episcopal Church holds a much better social and political stance than the Catholics; the evangelicals support reactionary views like Bolsonaro in Brazil and the new reactionary president of Colombia and El Salvador.
Ironically, there is an organisation of atheist catholic priests; they have not renounced the priesthood
They are good, friendly and peaceful people, but their views regarding women are too backward.
They are not racists; as other people have said, I have passed through their communities, and everything is clean, peaceful and well organised.
I have learned online how to do food canning with them, but I have used modern cooking devices. They have online classes on agronomy
They have worked along with other people, including natives and black people; it is preferable to work wth them than with Christian nationalists.
They have adopted African American children. The only problem is that new members must learn to speak and write Dutch and German, and adapt to their rules, including styles of clothes and rejection of modern technology.
Their stores do not reject customers from other religions and other ethnic groups, as other Christian groups sometimes will do.
They build their own homes and grow their own food with other races and other ethnic groups, and they share their knowledge of trades such as carpentry, agriculture and masonry

The USA government is paying the Visa with the Mastercard, they are borrowing money in order to pay the interest of the debt, and they had to double the buy back and still the interest yield has increased
———————–
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s announcement that the Treasury is going to double its buyback of long-dated US bonds from $2 billion to $4 billion has fallen flat. After an initial fall in yields, they have started to rise again and are back near the multi-year highs recorded earlier this week.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent speaks to members of the media outside the White House in Washington, Thursday, Aug
This was despite Bessent saying in an interview with the business channel CNBC that the buyback could be more than the $4 billion that he initially announced. The general sentiment in the market is that the growing bond market turbulence is not going to be calmed by such interventions because more fundamental issues—above all, the rise of US debt to $40 trillion—are involved.There are growing concerns that the US is in a “doom loop” because of the rise in interest payments to more than $1 trillion a year, creating a situation where the government must borrow money just to pay the interest bill on past debt.
———————————————————
Some economic analysts have indicted that probably, the USA government and the congress would be forced to increase taxation on the profits of the capitalist class as FDR did during the Great Depression . That proves what the socialist party has been saying about the myth on taxation that the biggest burden of taxation falls on the profits of the capitalist class and that state is financed with surplus value.
