A mother's word for word transcription of the imaginary phone call her four-year-old made to Santa Claus in 1911.

(source: The Harbor Beach Times, December 22, 1911.)

Through some outrageous case of serendipity I found a recording of another phone call this same child made 60 years later. Though I have to say his choice of conversational partner is a definite downgrade from the first call.

my villain origin story: the idea that criticising dany's complete failure to replace an economy based on slavery with any kind of viable alternative, leading to slaver's bay descending into chaos and suffering on a massive scale, is the same thing as defending slavery.

Money represents command over production.  Whoever issues currency – whoever creates money – can mobilize production to do whatever they want. This power is held by states and should be understood as a public good. After all, what is at stake is the mobilization of our collective labour and the common resources of our planet. But under capitalism, the power of money creation is largely franchised out to commercial banks that create money in the form of credit when they make loans. Wielding the power of credit, commercial banks get to determine the allocation of investment and therefore determine what gets produced.  They make these decisions based on whatever production is most profitable, regardless of whether it is beneficial or destructive. As a result, we get massive investment in things like fossil fuels, beef and SUVs, because these things are highly profitable to capital, and chronic underinvestment in necessary sectors like renewable energy, regenerative agriculture and public transit, because these are less profitable or not profitable at all.  This dynamic is what explains the fact that high-income countries – like the United States and Britain – are characterized by extremely high levels of resource use and yet still fail to meet many basic human needs. It is because investment is controlled in an undemocratic way, and is totally unaccountable to society.
