What's new? The rich have been placating us with cheap consumer goods for decades, while they hoover up all our assets and those of our governments

Similarly, he's calling out the liberal establishment for making an "honest mistake" in not considering wealth distribution, rather than simply accusing them of protecting their own selfish interests

I think Gary probably knows that Reform is a 100% racist party. He is simply saying that it's a better strategy to try to open people's eyes to the sources of their brutalisation rather than starting out by calling them brutes

I needed this for a presentation and came up with "rules-based" but I'm sure there's better

Making software simple is a very complex problem :)

For me it was in 2023 when I visited the USA for the first time in 25 years. The downward spiral was all too apparent

As a resident of Scotland I sympathise but fear it would be giving Trump what he wants

My bad!

She means they should not exist. The allocation of large piles of resources should not be decided by flawed individuals. It's bad for all our prosperity. Better tax structure won't cut it. We need to squeeze them until they have to sell their assets

We can take back the reigns of civilisation. We easily outnumber those who would have us believe it's not possible

@climatetown.bsky.social Hey would you consider bringing a live show to the Edinburgh festival? I know you focus mainly on the USA but it would be a great cautionary tale for us Brits

A colleague once saw me give money to a gentleman who panhandled regularly outside our offices.

"You know that guy has a better phone than you"

What an asshole...

I think your plumbus has malfunctioned

The cynic in me wants to say it's the same people as always: posh boys in the treasury and the bond markets

I love that joining a library is now the most subversive thing you can do in the USA

YouTube video by PoliticsJOE Gary Stevenson demands wealth tax outside Treasury

It's not jealousy. I'm wealthy enough. Inequality is bad for everyone youtu.be/hNmroSMVDYc?...

It's not just USA. There is a black hole in the global economy which has been sucking money and power upwards. I mean, this is what happens normally in most societies. Post war social democracy was a blip

That's when the problem started. Subsequent administrations, including dems, have done nothing to reverse the trend

When did democrats ever raise wealth taxes since the 80s? They are not serious about change. Had a chance to elect Bernie and bottled it

True in the sense that both sides are 'intensely relaxed" about power and wealth concentrating in ever fewer hands.
