How can something that is not profit-orientated be taxed = how do they justify this? ... with any ideas of neoliberalism or laissez-faire capitalism?
Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.
Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.
I don鈥檛 want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 馃槄
Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

Btw, privatization is stealing from *you.* You are the public in "publicly owned." Oligarchs are coming in to take the things we all share ownership of as Americans, like Medicare, Social Security, National Parks, PBS and scrapping them for parts they find profitable.
The right is planning to rob us and quite literally want us to thank them for the privilege by calling it "government efficiency."

When I say "We didn't used to call it 'neoliberalism' when I was a kid, it was just common sense", understand that I'm not saying "Neoliberalism is good and I miss the pre-lapsarian days of youth when people just accepted self-evident 'truths' about the efficiency of the private sector," or whatever; I'm saying "'Common sense' is hegemonic and informed by the interests of power, and the fact that huge numbers of people are even in a position to question neoliberalism now means that capital's grip on power has actually weakened considerably since the 1990s and that's good."

Imagine what neoliberal propaganda articles look like in various evil empires.
"Women in Sauron's army. How female orcs have helped create a more inclusive global conquest." - The Mordor Examiner
"How the death star program is revitalizing the galactic economy." - The Coruscant Times
"Despite progressive cries to "Free Arrakis" situation with House Harkonnen more complicated then most people think." - The Corrino Fund
"How the anti imperial rabbit hole can easily lead to people to pro choas views." - Ultramar Today

"But Weber鈥檚 argument was carefully grounded in history. Price controls, she argued, had been an essential element of the U.S. mobilization strategy during the Second World War. And there were several striking similarities between the economy of the nineteen-forties and that of the present day, including very high consumer demand for goods, record corporate profits, and production bottlenecks in important areas. Back then, the Office of Price Administration simply prohibited companies from raising prices above certain levels. Violators could be sued, or worse. In 1944, Montgomery Ward, the department-store chain, refused to accept the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement鈥攁 cap on the price of labor鈥攂rokered by the government. President Roosevelt ordered the National Guard to seize the business and remove Sewell Avery, its chairman, from its headquarters." (source)

As more Canadians find themselves struggling to afford or find housing, the country's smallest province is the only one that can point to legislation recognizing housing as a human right.
The Canadian Press asked every province whether it agreed with the federal housing advocate that shelter is a human right, and if it intends to introduce legislation upholding that right.
Most did not answer the questions directly and responded with a laundry list of initiatives launched to address the housing crises brewing in their jurisdictions.
In Quebec, the government's lack of interest in addressing the question was revealed in an errant email sent to a reporter.
When prodded for a response one week after an initial request, a spokesperson for Quebec's housing minister mistakenly sent a reply intended for a government colleague.
"Do I ghost her again?" she wrote Thursday. "Otherwise, a general response that doesn't answer, to say housing is a priority for our government?" By Friday afternoon, Quebec had not provided a response. [...]

Stupid thought I kind of believe: no one can agree on what "neoliberalism" means, but extensionally it's "whatever we've been doing, economically, for the past few decades."
Therefore, a major component of neoliberalism must be degrowth. It might be neoliberalism's fatal flaw!
