I've just been scrolling through "Threads". I can't decide if posters there are rage baiters or genuinely stupid. Maybe they're genuinely stupid rage baiters?

I noticed that piece o the BBC this morning and had exactly the same thoughts. They should run a similar analysis on the Green Party.

Probably got some AI bot to read it for him.

Yes.

Bertrand Russell to Oswald Mosley. Perfection.

"Whoever puts their hand upon me to govern me is a usurper, a tyrant, and I declare them my enemy" - Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.

A valid question for every day.

Yes, that was nuts. "We can't broadcast the voice of Gerry Adams, but here's the voice of an actor saying exactly what he said anyway."

Opposition to a #WealthTax— brought to you by those who think workers' rights have "gotten ridiculous."

What's ridiculous is the idea that someone with £15million would leave the country over £100k.

That's 0.67% of their wealth, equivalent to £300 if you had £50k. They wouldn't even notice it.

Putin and Trump.
Three hours of limp dicked mutual masturbation and no Nobel Peace Prize.

UK billionaires know how much tax they pay. It's a nice round number.

Trump's tribute to John Terry.

Wise words.

Poets, Fireworks, Emperor Penguin.

I think you may have a point. He's supposed to be making a "big statement" on Russia tomorrow. We'll see.

I think we're at, or at least close to, the disruptive technology tipping point, where all the smart money flows towards renewable energy.
It's a hope, anyway.

He said that he made up the word "equalize".

People who became wealthy from our economy built on our taxes, shouldn’t be allowed to run off and avoid paying taxes…The USA doesn’t allow it, neither should we.

Maybe he's just the best "dead-pan" comedian in the world. Maybe not.

Probably because they'll all die of measles and bird flu.

The national (government debt is over £2.6 trillion. The wealth of the UK is held by a minority of people who have £10 million or more each. The choice should be to tax wealth, not work.

According to the Google AI thing, the Daily Express has a circulation of about 147,000 per day. Each one of those goes to a household that has a collection of royal commemorative crockery.

First you invest in infrastructure, education, and training. Then, you work with industry to build the economic supply chain system around the specific industry you want to grow. Then, when that is all in place, you apply tariffs to protect that fledgling industry.
That's what tariffs are for.

It certainly feels that way doesn't it?

Where do you stand politically?
Well, I threw a dart at a political compass, and it hit a Nazi in the eye.

What if you're old, disabled and working? Asking for a friend.

Who said AI was useless 😂

The UK government can not (should not) give further tax breaks to USA business owners/corporations. This would accelerate the rising gap between the wealth held by the richest and the poverty of the UK government and the workers of the UK.
Tax wealth not work.

At this point, if someone "wants to buy a Tesla," they deserve an actual slap. Maybe with a wet fish.

Me, I knew that. So did the fella in the picture with me. And he's wearing a fucking hoodie!
