Why isn't this a major news story?

What is the sample for this survey?

What is the charge officer? Eating a Chinese meal, a sweet succulent Chinese meal?

WaPo Breaking News Trump asks for 'immediate negotiations' to acquire Greenland, says he does not intend to use force to gain territory WSJ Live Updates Trump said the U.S. won't use force to take Greenland NYT Trump Speech at Davos President Trump called for immediate talks to acquire Greenland, but said he "won't use force" to obtain it. 40m ago

What if the push alerts were “Trump stumbles through major speech, not knowing the diff between Iceland/Greenland; rants about political enemies (both real and imagined); as world watches in horror” instead of this?

Things are going exactly as planned sadly.

If you work and you have a job you are taxed.

If you don't work, if you 'earn' your money by being a landlord or a stock trader, you pay half the tax or less than people who work do.

If you are a CEO, if you own a company, you pay virtually no tax at all.

Tax the rich.

Post Office had deal with Fujitsu to fix Horizon errors 19 years ago The emergence of a document contradicts claims made by the Post Office over bugs in its IT system during criminal prosecutions.

Post Office had deal with Fujitsu to fix Horizon errors 19 years ago.

They lied to courts, parliamentary committees.

Postmasters knowingly wrongfully prosecuted, Lives destroyed. Compensation being paid from public purse, none by those who profited from the scandal.

No one charged for conspiracy.

The end of US democracy, as deeply flawed as it is?

Ask your local Reform candidate
did they back Brexit
knowing it would reduce UK GDP by £billions
so increasing

This is not real. Feel better?

Funny* isn't that the Media complain about the 15% payrise for Train Drivers over 3 years, or the 22% payrise for Doctors over 3 years.

But they ignore the 76% payrise for CEO's over the last 5 years, or the 38% payrise for Bankers in 1 year.

*Disgusting

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

England nationalized rail passenger services lease carriages from rolling stock companies (ROSCOs).

87% of rolling stock controlled by 3 Luxembourg companies.

Paid £1.282bn dividends in last 3 yrs. Not taxed in UK.

Privatization has hollowed out the UK - Taxes lost, it is all about exploitation.

So exhausting..

If you can't get a job, they call you 'a scrounger'. If you get a job and can't make ends meet, they tell you to find a better-paid job. And if you do get a well-paid job, they tell you train drivers earn too much.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

It's always been about class. Everything else is deflection.

Has he got wind or something?

Brilliant!
