@zackpolanski.bsky.social used his QT appearance last week to talk about the case for a #WealthTax, and to remind us we shouldn’t be intimidated by the empty threats of a minority of greedy vested interests.
@patmillsuk.bsky.social are happy to pay their fair share.

The rich don't work. Tax wealth, not work. #nzpol
We need to tax wealth not work.
Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets.

So when I said trust in institutions collapsed deservedly, I meant exactly this: they failed to live up to the democratic functions they were meant to perform. People lost faith not because they were misled, but because they were paying attention.

So when I say that trust is in decline "deservedly so," I mean this: Institutions that were supposed to embody VDA actively undermined it. The loss of trust wasn’t irrational. It was earned, over time, through abandonment of democratic purpose.

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."
