The only part of that that made sense was that it’s not worth 8 cents. I’m offering 2

The apathy of the American people is a shock to the world. In any other country the protests would already have shut this nonsense down. None the less I will be turning off my lights heating and indeed fasting for a day (just to make myself feel good of course). Fight the good fight 😄

Never really liked Michael Douglas but I love him now

DONT SHOUT AT ME 😂 my point is that the plans call for a blackout of (say) Amazon for a day. Pathetic, just never use them again. A day is not a sacrifice it’s an alcoholic taking a day off

Apart from1 and 5 those activities are illegal and it’s not obvious which billionaires you are referring too. 5 doesn’t count as someone made the money out of 1 thru 4 (and may other ways). I feel you could do better. If someone isn’t self made what are they?

Why is he not in Ukraine?

On the plus side they have confirmed you are not a fascist.

I’m sure we can ditch google, Amazon etc. I know I have

It’s isn’t but you mentioned extreme poverty up front. If you make outlandish claims at the start of an article don’t be surprised that I don’t take what follows seriously. Are you so obsessed with wales that you can’t see the global reality? You want a right to roam others want food.

Putin is a narcissist, the Fanta fascist is feathering his nest and we don’t want to bear the cost of standing up to either of them because we don’t want to pay the price. Eventually we will pay it but as we all know politicians don’t want to lose votes by facing facts. Off to bed now. Nice chat

I tried earlier but you had deleted your original comment/reply. In Short, nobody in wales suffers from extreme poverty (try travel) but I plough on... If the writer thinks that stealing land is the answer to everything then I hope he doesn’t mind when I start sleeping on his couch.

We are still buying Russian gas….. Europe is weak. On the plus side so is Russia. It’s a stand off between two enfeebled sides. 😢

I hope you mean both (tax and don’t spend) as we are not long of cash. Still I agree, America is lost for now so we have to step up.

Ah so the NKVD has arrived. What a surprise.

I hope you can afford it. Taxes may need to go up but services will also need to go down.

Right up there with one of the daftest articles I have had the misfortune to read. I only have a few years left and I just wasted valuable minutes on this.
comment in response to post
Not good enough. Moving spending by a day achieves nothing. Just boycott those who comply FOREVER.

America is lost. We will try and get by until you come back.

Well thought out and cogent argument. Well done 😄

Can’t stand badgers myself. They ate all the hedgehogs (which I do like) 😄

Seems rather sketchy - better call the FBI….. ah, maybe not.

It’s the same for both and depends on amount of business use but believe what you like. Nite

Did they have a reason? By the way if anyone self employed works from home they also get a tax break. Are you just making stuff up to keep me awake 😂 anyway phone off now.

I’m sticking to not buying anything from any company that appears to support this nonsense. Where do MacDonalds stand? That would be a breakfast blow but if it has to go it has to go.

Did this Guy go to school? What the heck is “impedement”. May be my lack of familiarity with US accents but he sounds like the dumb gangster from a 1930’s movie. Anyway I’m sure he’s well qualified for his job.

How are they going to work in a muddy field when carrying all that armour? Fiat panda is what you need
comment in response to post
Nope but tbf they may be embarrassed about how few people are protesting so glossing over it?😄
comment in response to post
How would you suggest they take them on? They have no power to do so.
comment in response to post
And that’s because?
comment in response to post
How are we defining big here?
comment in response to post
I think they talk a lot about why they can’t make money. Rapacious supermarkets nailing prices to the floor, endless regulation (many farmers spend more time doing admin than working the farm), energy and other input costs. PS If they make money they pay tax.

Beats efficiency and saving money every time. No wonder we are broke.

For most of that 2m years we also lived for 25 years and died of hunger disease and violence. More recently Augustus Caesar is estimated to have been worth 4.5 trillion (in today’s money). Minor fact check 🤔
