🧵 It’s surprising how many people seem to like to learn about how colonialism f*cked up the world. In fact, it’s at the centre of Western politics today. From the Orange Taco, to Putin & Sir Keir Starmer colonial persecution is still in play - & the LGBTQ community are its focus [1].

When Care is handed over to profit driven corporates, corners get cut & that includes corners off peoples human rights
➡️The answer:
Take Care out of corporate hands, take public funding out of corporate hands & make nursing home care public!

Watching repeat of leaders questions 🤓
absolute shite from Micheal Martin about min wage workers & how employers pay the cost
Most min wage workers have to be supplemented through social transfers like med card, HAP, family payment...
Public purse is supplementing low pay...

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.
