The cool thing about that quote is that wherever I go I find an absolute consensus around building railworks. Right wingers, left wing developmentists, communists and boomers alike all think Brazil should massively develop rail. There are always naysayers in news like these but in this case they are in the fringes. And the coolest thing is that China being involved seems to dispel most of the cliché pessimism.

Biden couldn't even get an American Pope. This is the real humiliation right there.
the way online indian news seems to react to, well, everything i'd expect them to have a tough choice ahead. either this is ww3 or nothing has ever happened, ever. nothing in between.

I assume both sides got what they wanted, which is to shore up support at home.
the antisemitism awareness act is about raising awareness of antisemitism and everyone already knows that the evangelical christian nationalists are antisemitic so of course there's an exception just for them. checkmate empathy sinners

A social services worker doesn't produce a marketable commodity or value for capitalists
instead they play a role as a relief valve for the contradictions of capitalism.
You should let the capitalists know this then because what you're describing does not decribe the system, how capitalists behave or how capitalist governments define policy. If one plays a role as a 'relief valve for the contradictions of capitalism', then under capitalism their labour is both desirable and subject to market forces. Capitalist governments absolutely do treat public work as a marketable commodity. No resources are allocated without a calculus behind it, or behind the intent of devaluing the labor as much as is possible.
And, again, being a proletarian is a social class in respects to ownership of the means of production. That's it. Any more splitting of hairs and soon enough you'll be claiming that the soup kitchen worker is a PMC akin to cops.
they are peas
The working class is comprised of everyone whose relationship with the means of production is at its core selling their labor. That's it. There's no reason to split hairs about who's PMC or not. The fundamental and likely difference between a judge and the clerical worker under that judge is that the judge likely makes enough money and comes from a social background that makes them a shareholder of american capitalism.
Anything more than that and you'll be talking past each other because you're thinking of bankers who were turned into department heads and they'll be thinking of middle income administrators. Meanwhile DOGE is spends its days firing park rangers and such. Dismantling a state institution isn't good or bad on the condition that its staffed by capitalists or not. It's good or bad on the basis of the policy that is being attacked. This being the US, everything outside of spending on the military or Israel is under attack.
We basically can't. Both in terms of expertise and in terms of financing. And it would be bad business besides, since China is a main beneficiary of these projects they also have an interest in their completion. It doesn't make sense for Perú and Brazil to finance this themselves.
