Why the green transition must be just and inclusive for neurodivergent people
Neurodivergent people can remain invisible and undervalued in a booming job market.

Merparten av Sveriges runt 420 kommunala simhallar byggdes på 1960- och 70-talen. De är hårt slitna, har föråldrad teknik, dålig tillgänglighet och höga driftskostnader.

Sveriges kommuner och regioner (SKR) uppskattar att 80 procent av Sveriges simhallar är uttjänta.

Ett hot mot simkunnigheten.

“Good economics” means periodically throwing millions of people out of work in order to keep wages down. “Good economics” means forcing global South countries to operate as subordinate suppliers in commodity chains rather than producing for national development. Etc.

People need to understand that, in mainstream Western institutions, “good economics” does not mean what’s best for meeting the needs of working people, but what’s best for ensuring capital accumulation and imperial hegemony. That’s it.
