Just look at how much energy we spend as societies to make sure poor people don’t get 5 Euros/ Pounds/ whatever more in benefits. That’s thousands upon thousands of public servants. Look at how few people actually work on auditing rich people right now in our countries. It’s all political decisions.

Bluesky doesn’t get to position itself as an alternative to the Nazi app and suspend Black women for being flippant about someone who was a MAJOR factor in attacks on our well being and livelihood, while his own folks actually killed him is still frying my brain. And you’re gonna hear about it.
