“Today’s episode critiques capitalism, arguing that it inherently disadvantages neurodivergent individuals and other marginalized groups by prioritising profit over human needs. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, supports this claim by examining various economic theories, highlighting those that critique capitalism's inherent inequalities and those that implicitly accept its premises. The article further explores the devastating impact of insufficient social safety nets on disabled individuals in the US, specifically referencing poverty, healthcare access, and employment barriers. Finally, it connects the 2024 US election results to the concentration of wealth and power, emphasising the urgent need for collective resistance and mutual aid to build a more just and equitable society.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://autside.substack.com/p/theres-got-to-be-a-better-way-anLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
