Dem Socialist/Progressive. People over profit. Everyone does matter yet most ignore the history and hardships of marginalized groups.
Desperation leads to criminal behavior and poor choices. Poverty sucks.
Do the right thing, situations CAN be win/win!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but "owning the libs" is NOT acceptable criteria for selecting members of a Presidential cabinet that will affect the lives of millions.
Picking family members, sex offenders, and Russian assets is proof that trump remains a threat to America.

Recall what happened with the FBI when Nixon politicized it by appointing Patrick Gray director. The rank and file leaked, leaked and leaked up to the assistant director (aka Mark Felt/Deep Throat) level. They destroyed Nixon. Trump is inviting big trouble with Kash Patel.

I think this is a key point. It shouldn’t take forever to get construction permits and approvals. Like Kamala Harris said in a speech, it only took one year to build the Empire State Building. It can take longer in dallas doe the most basic building or home

Kash Patel is a coup ringleader. He was part of the Jan6 delay with Chris Miller. He was caught lying under oath in Trump's Colorado case. 2024 Election needs investigation.

You got to remember that Bill Barr who dismissed the Mueller report is the one that said having Kash Patel as only the deputy director of the FBI said "over my dead body"

It's “disgusting” for the media to publish a private email. Still, it's not “disgusting” to appoint as Defense Secretary someone who was accused of sexual assault, and whose own mother called him “an abuser of women.”
Got it.

And this is the reason why the anti-monopoly laws, and the 70% tax rate on obscene wealth was enforced, so that no one person, or corporation, would have more enforceable power than the government it resided in. It was a Major check to maintain a more equitable balance of power.

How thriving industrial towns, de-industrialised, have been converted into hubs for low paid, low quality jobs.

We can’t understand the geography of capitalism in our present moment without seeing how these old industries overlap with the new.
"Two Towns" features an interactive map showing how ex-industrial towns were not “left behind” but actively made into havens for low-paid work.

And when it comes to being gifted that wealth the children of well off parents again benefit hugely, thus embedding the cycle of wealth.
They can by bigger, better homes, thus move less often.

The total value of financial gifts (overwhelmingly transferred from parents to children) has more than doubled from £13.1 billion in 2008-10 to £29 billion in 2018-20.

I’m sure many of us are looking at Musk and the enormous dangers when far too much wealth is held by one person and that person has control of key national and international assets (eg Starlink/ Space X) and is also bad actor high on his own arrogance.

“A few sit on unimaginable wealth whilst others own less than nothing”
I have been wondering since the revelations about the Royal Family wealth (& they are not even the wealthiest) whether the super rich get away with it in part because we literally cannot imagine what their wealth looks like.

ONS data :
“On official figures, the top tenth own half of everything. (They are the ones protesting about inheritance tax, so their kids can stay in the top 10%)
The bottom three-tenths? They own 1% of all the wealth between them”

Tax is only part of the answer: we also need a new political economy that differentiates good & bad wealth

Good morning. The rich are the problem. Their wealth gives them outsized voice in our society. They are using that voice to reshape universities, news outlets & other institutions, they are trying to change the political discourse. Take their power. Tax their wealth.

Labour's latest attack on welfare is a disgraceful assault on the dignity of the sick and disabled.
If the government really wanted to crack down on people "gaming the system", they would go after tax dodgers hoarding our country's wealth.
