Poverty is a choice.
Specifically, it's a choice by the rich not to give up even one percent of their wealth.

Cindy McCain, head of the World Food Programme, says she desperately needs $17 billion to cover urgent needs in Sudan, Ethiopia, Syria, Gaza, etc.
The total net worth of the Bloomberg 500 billionaires is $10.182 trillion.
So $17 billion of that number would be sixteen hundredths of 1 percent.

I love this map of places where sycamore gap tree saplings will be planted. They include the Rob Burrow Centre for MND and a plot in memory of a 15 year old girl killed by her ex-boyfriend. They stretch from the Orkneys to Cornwall. By @nationaltrust.bsky.social

At first, addiction is maintained by pleasure, but the intensity of the pleasure gradually diminishes and the addiction is then maintained by the avoidance of pain

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
Like if he needs a pay cut.
RP if you want the Monarchy gone.

Word of the Day, should you need it, is ‘latibulate’, a 17th-century verb meaning to find a corner somewhere and hide in it.
