It's a signifier for a politico-economic concept, so yes. Third world is a similar signifier that also doesn't really align with its original nor intuitive meanings. Semiotics is weird like that.
Either one can be used to signify countries from which resources and labor are extracted by the Global North or something along those lines. Do they find themselves richer or poorer due to global trade?
For example, Australia, in this context, wouldn't be considered global south despite being in the southern hemisphere. Unless it was harshly colonized and became a resource trough for the USA and Europe, then its politico-economic position would change even though it obviously didn't change geographically.
It's rare for a person's ideals to entirely misalign with their material interests, as seen here, but you'd hope that at some point she'd be like, this is enough power, enough money, I can now materially support the undermining of my own class while still remaining comfortable in retirement
I love this meme on so many levels
She's taking a page out of Trudeau's climate plan
Lmao
Still in the running for top 10 websites on the internet. Critical support I suppose.
China likes to build. The US likes to bomb crap and live in open sewage. This is not a difficult issue.
I mean the idea is that good urban planning would enable shorter and more frequent grocery store trips. Rather than a supercenter supplying everyone within 30 miles, requiring long drives, you'd have things distributed by need, i.e. general food stores every couple miles, more specialist places potentially farther away. Our current layout and shopping habits are contingent on car infrastructure and massive federal subsidies.
Would also decrease waste and increase general health, since fresher, less processed food could be purchased.
Not saying he doesn't but the winky face makes me think the intended meaning is tongue-in-cheek or taking the piss out of people accusing him of working for the CIA. Like how we joke about being on Xi's or Soros' payroll.
If that's the case this isn't an admission, more the opposite.

I have a few dozen books. A third I've read all the way through, the rest I've picked up and put down or skimmed.
It helps to have a lot of options so that I'm more likely to find one that clicks and holds my attention for longer.
Plus I frequently reference books for specific info or quotes.
Welp if Biden wasn't going to lose, he sure is now lmao
