Continued escalation of house prices is at crisis point in many countries. Wage earners enslaved by their mortgages. Banks earning interest on money they never had in the first place. Policy settings yet again encouraging the siphoning of money from the workers to the corporate sector.

Isn't it funny how the same people that keep saying "Get over it he won," have absolutely lost their shit that someone won a Mayoral race in a city they don't even live in?

So true. But would be nice to see democrats not only gain power but maintain it for decades cos people feel genuinely content with their lives.

Democrats pay attention. You may well regain power now the voters have seen the toxic nature of Trumpism. But delivering nothing beyond the status quo is not what people want. People are demanding meaningful change. Enlightened politicians like Mamdani will deliver that change.

Call on PM Albanese to introduce strong environmental protection laws The government is overhauling our national environmental law. Together we can make sure they halt nature destruction and end the extinction crisis.

We havenโ€™t only just seen a brazen attempt to wind back transparency from this Gov, itโ€™s been much more insidious than that. And itโ€™s eroding trust, building community frustration & weakening our democracy. #politas #auspol

Also worth noting that sometimes, the cheapness of renewable energy just helps pad out the profits of utilities and other corporations instead of flowing through to consumers

Disinformation is obvs part of it but it's worth noting a lack of regulation of corporations too1

Your point is logical and applies to all religions. There is no logical basis for an individualโ€™s religious beliefs. This disregard for critical thinking provides a fertile ground for the proliferation of religious sects.

Wild how a poor person buying a $1 can of soda with food stamps sends you into a moral panic but not billionaires writing off private jets. Your outrage is as cheap as that soda.

A word to the douchebags:
Food stamps don't keep people from going without mocktails. They keep people from starving.

California invests big in battery energy storage โ€” and leaves rolling blackouts behind Batteries that pair with clean solar and wind energy or just bolster electrical grids in general have completely taken off and are making a big difference on the California grid.

California hasnโ€™t issued an emergency plea for the public to conserve energy, known as a Flex Alert, since 2022. Experts credit much of the progress to a surge in battery energy storage systems in recent years.

More people need to understand that โ€˜left wingโ€™ is synonymous with democracy for the people ie social democracy. Centrists and the right wing are far more focused on serving wealthy elites and maintaining the status quo.
