Our system is rigged so that one man becomes a trillionaire while millions of Americans can't afford a trip to the doctor. Wealth is funneled to the wealthy while everyone else is hanging on by their fingernails. My wealth tax would level the playing field. Let's get it done.

Zohran Mamdani is 34 years old. YOUNG PEOPLE CAN LEAD EFFECTIVELY. You don't have to be 70 with "life experience" to do a good job.

RT @arianajasmine__: They didn’t want Zohran Mamdani to win because once people see a politician who isn’t bought by corporations, does his…

I’m constantly astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.

Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone. Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year? Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit? Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000 migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it? Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite? It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.

I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is. University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages. Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures. There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them. If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings: Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them. Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser. I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more. I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class. I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families. I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant. And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

The case for Labour to introduce a wealth tax has never been stronger. 99% of us are paying, in total, 40% to 50% tax on our incomes, billionaires are paying 25% at most. 2% levy on fortunes above £100m could begin to reverse decades of rising inequality theguardian.com/politics/202…

You actually reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy. Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes. The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled. The conclusion is one sentence. "At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand." An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody. Here is how you get there. A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself. Because the workers who were fired were also customers. When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation. The loop has no natural exit. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements. Every single one failed in the model. The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger. No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it. Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion." Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem. Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it. Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place. Source: Falk & Tsoukalas · Wharton School Boston University · arxiv.org/pdf/2603.20617

Honestly, the most annoying thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end world hunger, fight climate change, and cure cancer BUT greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead. The wasted human potential is heartbreaking.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-…

Don't stop talking about Palestine ،،

Mark Zuckerberg’s $300 MILLION yacht arrived in Seattle the same day Meta cut 1,400 jobs—part of a larger round of 14,000 job cuts. Nothing says our economy is broken like billionaires sailing around on yachts while workers are left out to dry.

1/ THE TEESSIDE DEAL: Two businessmen got the right to buy public land for £1/acre in 2021. The public body that owns it spent £450m cleaning it up. This month, they sell 222 acres to Anthropic for £222m. That's a roughly 1,000x markup, captured almost entirely by two men.

We look at our neighboring worlds and we see a grim warning. Venus is a runaway greenhouse hellscape, its surface hot enough to melt lead. Mars is a frozen, bone-dry desert. Earth is the anomaly,a perfectly balanced, delicate jewel where the conditions for life are miraculously just right. Yet, we continue to treat our atmosphere as if it were an infinite dumping ground. A fragile canopy. A destabilized climate. A global crisis.

That report should be sending off massive alarm bells. Based on the numbers in it, Blackrock Clinic likely earned around €4million last year. Meanwhile children whose families don’t have the ability to pay or without health insurance are left to suffer and slowly deteriorate. Not only that though, prioritising private children is an ableist act. The complex children often cannot receive treatment in the private system regardless of if they can cover the cost. Harvey had fantastic health insurance, but for him he had to be treated in the public system. This is discrimination. This is ableism. This is systemic neglect.

This is insanity. The combined wealth of the world's billionaires has tripled over the last 15 years, surging from $4.5 trillion to over $14 trillion. Meanwhile, they've made sure the masses are busy fighting each other to stop us from uniting against their reckless greed.
