It’s because they don’t want to create economic stability/growth, they want to protect their wealth and destroy opportunities for the rest of us. It’s wealth hoarding by narcissists’ who need to feel important/clever.
(Caveat: I’m definitely not an economist but I am interested in the psychology)

I’ve read “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” but I’d definitely like to meet Dr Bandy Lee.

We can’t underestimate the role sexism has in the lack of research, treatment, and understanding of #ME.
The fact is that because women predominantly have #ME/CFS, it’s been dismissed as a modern form of hysteria, despite WHO recognising it as a neurological condition.

I don’t have an answer but I do recommend the latest episode of @quietriotpod.bsky.social where they discuss NATO. Also follow guest cohost @snellarthur.bsky.social if you don’t already.

#ME 25+ years and recently diagnosed with #FND
I’m a psychotherapist and one of my specialisms is working with women with diagnosed and undiagnosed chronic illnesses.
