For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Losses to the Greens on the left and Reform on the right for Labour in local by elections. They’re small turnout affairs but do highlight how the broad but shallow Coalition Labour built was hyper efficient but can quickly be eaten into at both ends. From @electionmaps.uk

Expansion with a side of...expansion 🙄 These ‘economic benefits’ won’t reach anyone except Heathrow’s bosses. If Labour Ministers approve these plans, they’ll officially be making worse climate decisions than the last lot. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Bad title. Great article. The article itself explains how basic income pilots don't show decreases in work and often even show increases. Unconditional basic income is money to do anything. Welfare has the condition that you keep your income low enough to keep getting it. That's a key difference.

Oh dear. The outpouring of prejudice and nonsense in response to this thread makes my point all too well. By all means critique Small Modular Reactors, but please at least read about them first. If only on Wikipedia. The correct sequence is information > opinion. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_m...
