23.10.2025 16:46 — 👍 20 🔁 4 💬 3 📌 0No way that the average MP could tell you that 70% of the country has less income than this threshold. Or probably in most cases that they themsleves are in the top 4% of earners without accounting for expenses or other income.
22.10.2025 20:45 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I just think people who get paid £100k a year just have basically no conception of how many skilled workers earn less than £35k, they work backwards from their own world. People not trained to think about it constantly are so bad at instinctual maths they don't realise income dist/n is exponential.

22.10.2025 15:27 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0fwiw I think Labour have little inclination to significantly mitigate or roll back the effects of Brexit before the next election precisely because it's the issue they are going to seek to fight the next election on.
I get it but I'm not sure that it'll work.

We've placed increasingly precise constraints on many of the terms of the drake equation. Development rate and lifetime of socially complex life are the uncertain terms.
I call being able to remember shit like this when everyone else seems to have memory holed it inverse Cassandra syndrome.
