12 questions that expose the truth about money
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy 12 questions that expose the truth about money

Modern Monetary Theory describes how money works in the real economy.

In this video, I share 12 essential questions to challenge politicians when they deny economic reality โ€” and ensure the power of money is used for people, not for the wealthy few.

What sort of mug has ever trusted the US? Theyโ€™ve been destabilising,destroying and generally committing murder around the globe since the 1950โ€™s.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

New Alexei Sayle Podcast, talking to Paul Holden about his book The Fraud, with lots background & details

The cynical dishonesty & corruption by Starmerโ€™s right wing clique is absolutely jaw-dropping

The mainstream media enabled it & are now silent

Theyโ€™re not capable of true compassion and care as little for โ€œour ownโ€ as they do immigrants.
Theyโ€™re coming out with the same rhetoric that the NF and BNP did in the 70โ€™s and 80โ€™s.

Labourโ€™s rebuttal to the Green party this week sums up the double standard that dogs our politics | Frances Ryan Why is it that the politics of hope offered up by the left is dismissed as naive, while the policies of the centre and right are portrayed as all that is possible? asks Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

'Policies that favour the interests of the working class are routinely dismissed as a fantasy, whereas those that push wealth and power towards the rich come to be seen as a realistic status quo.'

If NHS trusts hadnโ€™t had to pay more than ยฃ1.8 billion in *interest charges* to private companies, that money could have paid for the starting salaries of over 50,000 NHS doctors ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿšจ

Teslaโ€™s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.

Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

American capitalism is off the rails.

Hey Emma,itโ€™s been a while.
Yep the toxicity over there has become unbearable to the point of making me feel depressed at the state of the world.
Hopefully I can reignite my faith in humanity on here.
Howโ€™s things with you anyway?
