It’s sort of infuriating to watch liberals all of the sudden be able to identify war crimes because Trump is doing them

There are red and black ant-like aliens who look at humans and wonder why we're shaking our own jar, so a few of us can live in luxury.
It's no coincidence that entry to the globe-spanning very rich club is the same amount it takes to build an arms manufacturing plant in a developed country ($100M).

@greenparty.org.uk is the Westminster party that supports sovereignty, with a policy to reverse the Freeports and SEZ's that hand over sovereignty to corporations, giving away control of taxation to business as a bribe for 'investment' that's actually just a way to drain profit from the mainland.

BBC News is also a good example. Historically technocratic, sees the world is changing, attempts to compensate through bothsidesism (effectively procedural populism), fails to please anyone and in so doing compromises its essential quality (technocracy).
Combine those various factors and you get the current Labour government and its weird mix of economic and social policies and at the same time its apparent inability to make progress / do better.

The thing is we've known that housing the homeless is cheaper than neglect, we've known that Ubi is effective at eliminating poverty, we've known that heavily subsidized housing and education leads people into the middle class, we've known all of these things in some cases for 70 years.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.
