The sheer amount of hoarded wealth the people congregating in that room represent is shameful and disgusting. And they use that wealth to make sure our elected governments work for their interests rather than ours.

Israeli forces continue to push into Gaza City, but in recent days important historical and cultural sites have also been further damaged by IDF operations across Gaza. Many of these sites held unexplored archaeological data that could now be lost 🧵

Best type of rent control?

Make taxes and burdens on Landlords so high being a Landlord is unprofitable.

Boom, rent is controlled because there are almost no Landlords.

Listen to this and weep for who we have lost. Just before he died the great Conor Gearty spoke with learning & passion about what his friend K Starmer must do to defend democracy. Try from about 35’ in if you’re pressed for time - but the whole episode is worth it open.spotify.com/episode/27xX...

The interesting thing about this graph is that it doesn't tell the story that the richest 0.01% own nearly 60% of the wealth of the richest 1%.

It's actually the 1 in 10,000 that are the enemy of us all.

They have a MINIMUM of $300m+ each.

Disgusting outrageous greed.
