Everything is falling apart in the UK because it has all been privatised and they won't use the profits for building new stuff or even maintaining old stuff. No, they will just steal it all and then you can fix it as if it is nationalised.

Looking at over 55 national and state polls across six categories of tax reforms, a billionaire income tax garners the most support across party identification (67% average) and a wealth tax had similarly high levels of support: 78% of Democrats, 62% of Independents, and 51% of Republicans.

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: CHEERS WILDLY (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

Please understand this is one of the most important reasons to do universal basic income. Yes, UBI will reduce poverty, but it will also help everyone not in poverty by reducing their chronic stress. A society-wide decrease in stress would be huge. It would make more possible so many other reforms.

Another reason to watch this is what @garyseconomics.bsky.social predicts about rising far-right parties and their liberal opposition. Until we reduce inequality, we will bounce between an authoritarian right increasingly blaming immigrants and a center-left that doesn't reduce inequality and loses.

"61% percent of respondents have a moderate (41%) or high (20%) sense of grievance, defined as feeling business and government make their lives harder and serve narrow interests, and the system benefits the wealthy while regular people struggle." 61% know the score and that the game is rigged.

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

To be disabled is almost always to be traumatized. It’s living in a body that can’t keep you safe. It’s doctors dismissing you. It’s family and friends abandoning you. It’s living in a society that doesn’t see your value. It’s constantly having to prove your life is worth living.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

This is actively something I don’t think people realize about this election: people forget that the Democratic Party (the vast majority) was actively ignoring their constituents at the same time they were demanding they vote for them. The images and videos that came out of the DNC alone…

UBI would be cheaper than this but none of the politicians with power want you to enjoy your life. They want us to work until we drop for a wage that hardly covers rent and when we can't take it anymore they'll say our misery is of our own making for not working harder

You don't learn communism from Marx. You learn it from hunger. Unemployment. Homelessness. Violence. Addiction. Crime. Profiling. Police brutality. Social exclusion. Precarity. Embarrassment. Disillusionment. From working back-breaking hours to barely get by. Marx simply explains why that happens.
