My thoughts exactly.
Before even reading your reply.. 'Son of Satan' came to mind. Reminds me of Al Pacino in the Devils Advocate 👿👿👿

What a comeback. Need more organisations willing to push back like this. The irony of the post was spot on with the right tone 👏
How other way is there than succinctly stating the facts in the face of such ignorance?

I agree 👍
Whilst I will always view a variety of sources for news to ensure I get the most objective perspective..
It is annoying that it is difficult to discern on here between a pure Meme and actual facts

I think over the years a variation must have morphed within my family as a running joke somewhere..
Just re-watched the french castle scene.. still holds up! 😂

Again though, you place yourself into a position with a public profile, you explicitly promote yourself in the public discourse..
And you are then surprised that when you are in public that you are engaged with the publics issues!
We had several MPs in the UK complain of a similar thing
Grow up!

Anyone compiling data on these guys too?
If they are in the public eye 👀, it's only of public interest to know more about who these people are
comment in response to
post
Yeah I noticed the same irony/ideocracy
Unfortunately the pace they are trying to move at makes it harder for average person to connect dots in amongst the many other headlines
Does anyone know of a publicly available data source that is compiling metrics on what was promised & what is delivered?

'Killer rabbits 😂 ...run away!'
'Your father was a blueberry and your mother was a gooseberry.. I fart in your general direction!'
Classic 🤣 still remember those bits years later.
Slightly too young too have seen the first time round but the films certainly had an impact on me

Difference between sustainable productive & unsustainable unproductive investment really
The longer gov are tied to current political ideology and so called rules, the longer a London centric view will maintain
Investment in infrastructure and SMEs in the UK from QE would be the preferred option
comment in response to
post
Basically these self imposed rules are just political
They constrain ability to direct actual productive investment into the areas we need
And make the city king makers in the process with power to influence gov policy
comment in response to
post
In essence the gov don't understand QE, instead they would appease big finance and lend from the financial markets through selling bonds instead.. this is done through city of London
It's also why the markets have this and previous gov over a barrel as by their own fiscal 'rules' they have no room
comment in response to
post
They dont understand difference between fiscal borrowing e.g from the markets, & borrowing from the bank of England e.g QE
Its a London centric view of borrowing due to this gov lack of understanding of how to invest properly for productive purpose
QE can do this without unsustainable public debt

The definition of cheap is only relative to ones income Simple maths many right wingers forget
1. Those economically vulnerable I doubt think prices of goods are cheap
2. Real wages have declined therefore the 'cheap' price reflects the lack of quality employment & US corp exploitation elsewhere

People centred politics can only be realised through people centred economics
Instead of creating Billions ££ through BoE QE in bank reserves that only served the wealthy in stocks and asset price inflation
QE should be used to drive new investment in the productive capacity of the UK. E.g. jobs

6. I believe these ideas turned into a digestible format for our hyper digital times CAN and will resonate with the majority of people in both UK, US & beyond.
The many people who champion social and economic justice need to share some common ideas in how to stand up to the fight that is coming!

5. I couldnt find the original link to the paper, but found this newsletter in the RES that provides an overview
res.org.uk/newsletter/j...
I advise ANY & all left minded persons to read this, explore it's ideas further and understand how this applies to you, your community, country & wider world

4. The supply side has been adversely impacted in most so called developed countries, e.g UK, US
This as an impact of reduced productive investment, due to the political policies of neo liberal governments that have moved ever more rightwards
It's a political choice to disinvest in the UK and US

3. It disaggregates credit creation by banks into productive and non productive.
It explains what we have observed in many countries over the past few decades
Incl. The growing inequality, falling real wages and reliance on foreign investment/capital flows. In addition it impacts productivity

2. I read a paper by a German economist that spent time in Japan observing how the central bank operated credit creation during their boom and subsequent stagnation, also bought his books
The paper was called the Quantity Theory of Credit. It explains the macroeconomics behind credit creation

I agree
Part of the shenanigans we are seeing I suspect is a smoke screen to crowbar open the legal and regulatory systems of other countries..
SO the tech bros can keep monopolising without restriction.
This is the new front of imperial expansion
EU is prime example with new digital laws

South Park nailed it, those few series around the last Trump presidency captured the ideocracy of the time. At a time when satire evaporated why was it left to a cartoon to hold the moral compass & call out the politically & morally corrupt?
Each day now seems like we're living a south park parody!

In a warped kind of way what your saying is that Trump has done the US version of Brexit.
We've had all of the wonderful impacts you have described here in the UK post Brexit, amazing benefits!
Only difference I think is whereas the UK divorced itself from EU Trump is divorcing US from the world!
