It’s like learning to ride a bicycle,
it’s hard to do for a while,
gravity tries to defeat balance & velocity,
then you do a short ride without falling off,
but it’s not until you’ve ridden for many miles
that you start to understand how to ride a bike / drive a car / etc safely

Schools should teach us in a way that makes it interesting to understand the subject & retain the information,
so we can double check online if we ever need to use it in the future
Exams suit people that can parrot information back out,
but they don’t need to understand what they’re writing

If everyone had a #UniversalBasicIncome
the rich wouldn’t have the opportunities to exploit the workers
& everyone could have the choice to buy whatever quality of craftsmanship they wanted
because nobody could get rich from producing
low quality
unrecyclable
polluting
exploitative
stuff

Good news
Everyone has the right to peacefully protest,
and cause reasonable disruption (not damage) in peace
In a world of unregulated politicians allowed to cause massive disruptions without fear of the consequences
Remember
Life isn’t binary; there’s often more than 2 sides to every story

Q🧵2/2
Why aren’t the government taking the tax benefits
away from the 1% of the population that are
unemployed multimillionaires
& using it instead to support the 99% of the
population in full-time employment
who are partially reliant on social security to survive healthily ?

A simple question?
part 1 of 2 🧵
Given that 99% of multimillionaires
worth over £25,000,000
are unemployed
& that 99% of people
in full time employment,
working on national minimum wage,
so earning less than £25,000
need state aid to survive

Does your version of “we” have the original buyer’s receipt from the Celts,
or are you thinking about the Elgin Marbles type of sale?
Just sell him a few whales instead
and blame American-english for the wrong translation

Very entertaining & informative
“Honest Government Advert”
Quickly shows why all governments should
produce an “HGA”
to explain how they only do things
for the benefit of their citizens
& explains
no ulterior motives
& exploiting nor harming
citizens
