Tax wealth. Distribute UBI. That's the better way to transfer billionaire money back to society. And don't worry, billionaires, it will work its way back up to you again, where we will tax it again.
It's kind of like the water cycle, but one that doesn't happen on its own and requires intervention.

When a government has systematically eroded the conditions for good mental health & not put those back it’s harmful to take away the support people will desperately need to heal and recover from that.
It will make the problem worse & drive up NHS and other public sector spending.

We do not have a mental health crisis. We just have natural reactions to an economic system that is incompatible with human health and thriving.

Under capitalism when “efficiency” is used in political discourse, it just means to more efficiently transfer money from taxpayers to the the rich, therefore social programs that help poor & working people, like Medicare, SS & even public education, are therefore “inefficient.”

What is PSSD? Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction is an iatrogenic condition which can arise following antidepressant use, in which sexual function does not completely return to normal after the discontinuation of SSRIs, SNRIs and some tricyclic antidepressants.

Labour is trying to force ever more people into work when AI, recession, and the demise of the jobs best suited to those with disabilities means there are ever fewer jobs available. When will they wake up to reality?

Careers shackle us to this system for life. We tell ourselves we’re working for our family, for our future, yet many - if not most - careers exist primarily to perpetuate a system on track to rip all of our families & all of our futures apart.
We should ask, honestly, are our careers worth it?

Study after study does indeed show significant drops in intimate partner violence (as high as 50%) as a result of unconditional basic income. Much less child abuse too.
Any government that is serious about preventing domestic violence would be behind universal basic income and rent control. Too many people can't leave unsafe situations because they can't afford to.

Humiliation, shame, isolation, fear, feeling trapped and powerless are all linked to mental ill health.
These are sadly at the core of the majority of our approaches: education, benefits system, policing, mental health services and so on.
For a healthy society we must take a relational approach.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
