The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

FUN FACT: Companies like INEOS want plastic production to TRIPLE by 2050.

But people want the opposite - we want a safer, less plastic polluted future.

Who’s sick of corporations destroying our planet?

1/ Blue Labour founder Lord Glasman talks to Steve Bannon weekly, but talking to Curtis Yarvin is even more sinister. Yarvin openly wants to destroy democracy. One of his plans is to divide the USA into mini-dictatorships owned by corporations in which the people have absolutely no rights.
Recent reports show that Peter Thiel Guru Curtis Yarvin met with Labour Peer Lord Glasman and boasted about using the N word.

Why does this matter? Because Glasman claims to have a strong influence on the Prime Minister’s chief of staff Morgan McSweeney

It's so odd asking politicians if they "believe" in climate change. It's like asking them if they "believe" in gravity.

Rachel Reeves says the UK is open for business with the US, EU and India deals:

But we only get £22 billion:
- £3.4 billion from UK-US tariff deal
- £14 billion from UK-EU reset
- £4.8 billion from UK-India

Rejoining the EU Single Market would give us £140 billion

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Social media — addictive and manipulative. I come here because I enjoy it; stopped the other one because it was toxic.
It’s a drug, it creates cravings. In the wrong hands manipulates us and renders us impotent as we spend more time on words and less on deeds. Perfect for the modern technofacist
Techno-autocrats are reshaping government by using AI, surveillance and social media to censor dissent, spread propaganda and undermine democracy. From China to Russia, and now Silicon Valley, the threat is global, according to a political scientist:

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform.

This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.
Another record year for the Green Party 👏

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.

These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.

If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?
