it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

Reintroduce National Service, but it's just working in retail for 18 months.
I don't think you should be allowed to be an MP unless you've done a proper stint working in retail or hospitality dealing directly with customers.

BOYCOTT THE FUCKING WORLD CUP. Between FIFA's refusal to sanction Israel and now this, no one should give it anything.
I don’t think a state that is threatening wars of territorial aggression and has random death squads wandering about its mid-tier cities assassinating civilians should be hosting the World Cup

Ever been to Monaco? It’s an ugly shithole, full of the worst people in the world
The thing about "tax the rich and they'll leave" is that the rich are people, and want to live somewhere nice. And the places with low taxes tend not to be all that nice.

This now exceeds the building damage recorded in Hiroshima. www.icanw.org/hiroshima_an...
The UN’s satellite centre (Unosat) has published its most recent assessment of damage in Gaza: around 78% of buildings there were damaged or destroyed by Israel by July this year. More than 40% completely destroyed. Here's an example of what that looks like in Abasan al-Kabira in the south.

I think many homeowners would, but politicians seem to think we want tiny tax cuts.
