'Our time is on loan, only us to borrow
An' I know
But I can't be today, I can be tomorrow
Yea, all I see, the more I know
The more I know, the less I understand'
Ask for me tomorrow, and you'll find me a grave man.

Plus 'earns'. I mean all those stocks, shares, property sales, patent protection etc
Salaries are for us plebs.
If you want to write a piece attacking rising government spending, after 15 years of austerity, going to need a better starting point.

As language is important - if you were spending on each adult more than Everyone was earning then no one earns more than £24k? So hyperbole to get attention. The UK gov spends More than UK, private, wage bill?
16% of UK are pensioners & rising. Who don't work. That might be the problem

Unprofitable for them.
I mean for the average person it will probably hurt their pocket much but it helps understanding if you ever hear or read 'but the economic damage' & substitute the words 'my new super yacht fund'
We scorch the earth, set fire to the sky.
We stoop so low, to reach so high.

Surface area distributed around the world to power the world entirely with #Solar, and entirely with #Wind #Energy. Of course, in reality there would be a mix of both, so there could be roughly half of each. Let's reduce #Respiratory ailments from #FossilFuels. #Renewables #ClimateCrisis

I don't have to.
It is beginning here with the aged, especially leaders & titans of industry still living in their past - Trump, Murdoch, Erdogan, Putin, Xi Jinping..
(Yes, the tech bros destroy this theory,) but without an aging population population Brexit & Tory rule etc wouldn't have happened.

This is complaining no one will hang out & debate, now Elon has bought the cool cafe and turned it into a Nazi club, with 'free speech' provided it is what Elon likes or tolerates.
Given the level of debate is "yeah but he'd beat you in a push up contest you cluck libtard"...really that surprising?

Ah Twitter ..
If this is an echo chamber that is a town square that gives anyone who 'agrees with Elon' or at least drives 'engagement' a large megaphone & pushes a false impression of actual public opinion, via its algorithm. E.g. great replacement Theory is really, a fringe racist view.

No one thinks the lib Dems will be in power despite them getting 14 times more MPs.
Polls might look different in an election when people realise it will be privatise the NHS and A Truss Mk 2 budget.

Franco didn't do foreign wars.Fascismo a la española - it is argued he wasn't a racist really, but suppression of opposition, cult of personality, banning of languages such as Basque, Catalan says certainly looks like it.
Ok, Trump is Just antidemocratic, does not respect rule of law & is racist.
