The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.
This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Here's Home Sec Cooper with the Israeli ambassador who endorsed the complete decimation of Gaza ('every school,every hospital, every home'). Yvette doesn't count such language as terrorism. The other photo is 83 Yr old Rev Sue Parfitt. She calls for an end to genocide. Apparently THAT is terrorism.
