Britain is one of the world’s richest countries. Why do a third of children live in poverty?

It is a political choice - years of austerity, real wage cuts, regressive taxation, unchecked profiteering, disappearance of social housing, hijacking of govts by corporations/rich.

Child poverty has reached a record high in the United Kingdom as the country’s cost of living soars and its social security safety net falters following years of government austerity.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Dusting off my course on financial fraud bc the AI collapse is shaping up to be a cataclysm on par with the OG stock market scam, the South Sea Bubble that burst in 1720.

Granted, wishful thinking is difficult to puncture: last time I taught the course, students were eager to show off their NFTs.
