Adhering to the ECHR is important! If the Tories want out then you have to think why? We should be adding more rights not stripping away those we have!

691,000 Open Roles? 2.4 unemployed people per role? 2.7 million long term sick also need to compete for those jobs? Yeah, how's that working out for you? Or maybe politicians & media people are neurodivergent & suffer from dyscalculia? How ironic would that be?

When Open AI tells you a "rogue" AI agent did something bad as if it created something new instead of doing what it's human created data training taught it to do and the media run with it, you know the world is sleep walking into a disaster AI is working as intended We're fucked!

What is it with GPs and Physios writing up notes that always seem more "positive" than how you explain it? Depression becomes "low mood" Self harm becomes "superficial scratches" No wonder we never get the help we need!

You tell people tax doesn't fund public service You prove tax doesn't fund public service They still say "taxpayer's money" cuz it's ingrained just like the idea that the earth used to be the centre of the universe The truth comes out eventually & then you ask different questions

I also believe "taxpayers money" is used to promote an angry response, an argument, that disappears when you know the truth But a different argument appears in its stead New question arise Instead of, "Who's going to pay for it" we can ask, "What do we need?" We can get it done!

Private companies exploiting the welfare system, providing poor services and trousering ยฃ millions? No kidding? I love the way the media present this as an aberration rather than a predictable norm. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm62โ€ฆ

1\ Gold & silver were once thought of as pieces of the Sun & Moon, tears of the Gods Kings & Emperors adorned themselves with gold People back then didn't know better, but they were actually valueless chunks of metal dug up from the ground Religious symbolism gave it value

3\ Without food, water, air, we would die And yet we allow individuals to control them & that in turn controls us Govts sell land & utility to giant corporations, & when we complain we are hungry, thirsty, can't breathe, Govt says, "It's not our fault, blame Thatcher!"

4\ Yes it was Thatcher's fault initially But every single Govt that has been formed & not put things right, it's their fault too We believe we're in a democracy So must we take partial blame or is the system rigged in their favour? Natural resource monopolies are ours Nationalise

1\ There's been a lot of denigration in the media recently, about neurodivergent people Being late diagnosed, I can definitely say some of us are ultra capable people & often better at our jobs than neurotypicals But we know the capitalist class is all about exploitation

6\ Yes, so do neurotypicals, but never as often I grew up in a family that taught me, "No one wants to know your problems, you deal with your own shit, you're on your own" "Man up!" "Just keep your head down & work hard" "Do everything your boss asks you to do" It's exhausting

7\ Every rejection for promotion, when others are getting it Every extra hour you work when others refuse Every time you volunteer for tasks cuz you think you're doing them a favour, but you find out later it was a delayed redundancy Politicians have no idea what is happening

When the realisation hits that we need to stop using fossil fuels, the capitalist oil barons know their time is short, so they pull out every stop to make oil as expensive as possible & when you have Govts helping you, defending you, creating situations, it's easy, right?

The French riots indicate that neoliberalism is a total failure for the majority wherever it reigns. The creditor/business class is unfit for purpose and must be ejected from the political sphere. But what is neoliberalism? @RichardJMurphy explains. youtu.be/_8yCsQCtPHg?si=H1Rwโ€ฆ

Taxes do not "pay for" public services, welfare or defence Taxes slow down spending & therefore economic growth It can also control inflation & change behaviour Want growth? Spend more Want growth & control inflation? Tax wealth Create monetary flows back to Govt Nationalise
โ€œWho can we tax in order to pay benefits to othersโ€ latest.
