Well said πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ I've been wondering the same thing. The greed of a few creates the sycophants who will do anything for money, crazy you can't take it with you when you die, but these punks will die for their money madness.

I mean, who do they think is going to cook food in restaurants and treat them in hospitals or make society function? Also, what do they think *their* job will be? Most of these folks have made a living demonizing some out group and grifting on that on social media. Who’s the out group then?

So here is my question. Let’s assume Miller & Co. are successful, i.e., they deport, jail, kill, all of the β€œundesirables.” What do they think society is like then? Like, what happens when they realize there’s still crime, drugs, and no one around to do half the jobs, from manual to skilled labor?1/

@zackpolanski.bsky.social Zack's speech was inspirational with real hope, which is what a political party should bring, NOT tribal hate. After decades of #Neoliberalism & #PFI which has ripped off #publicservices #BrokenBritain with political choice of austerity & cuts while serving the billionaires

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

A majority of UK do not want the digital ID, but no doubt plough ahead in a bullish manner. I think it's a step too far & authoritarian, the excuse to push it is the small boat crossings. Security is the worry ID theft & hacking will be inevitable. Not everyone has a smartphone & technology savvy.

Same in the UK, the outrageous claims about the left is so OTT scare tactics, it's desperate, I'd be scared of them. Fortunately we all know it's right wing propaganda, it reflects & covers what they are really all about, which is not pleasant at all. πŸ™
