It is tempting to think the billionaires believe that SpaceX will take them to a new planet when they have destroyed this one. But how do you get to be a billionaire if you are that stupid, seriously...

The weird thing is that in the end the super rich won't benefit from these policies either. There is only 1 Earth for a start. And then, what kind of society has no one making anything & economic activity depending on a casino stock market?

Wealth gaps between age groups have widened sharply in recent years.

The difference between those in their early 30s and early 60s has more than doubled in real terms since 2006-08, from £135,000 to £310,000.

Find out more about these trends in our latest report on wealth⬇️

Chart showing median real family net wealth per adult, by five-year age group: GB Most age groups saw their wealth rise in the latest period, but gains were far from equal. Those aged 50-54 recorded the largest increase – typical per adult family wealth rose by £35,000 between 2018-20 and 2020-22 – but people in their late 30s saw only a £9,000 rise. These larger gains for older groups have widened existing wealth gaps: the difference between those in their early 30s and early 60s has more than doubled in real terms since 2006-08, from £135,000 to £310,000.

My Indian friends at the time of Brexit thought it was very funny that the Brits thought it opened us up to more trade with India but wouldn't allow more immigration.

Anyone still think Brexit wasn't mostly driven by racism?

Stop allowing people like Jenrick to "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" their racism. Call him out as a racist.
The far right are well versed in using irony and plausible deniability to work their filthy ideas into the mainstream discourse.
Don't make their job easier for them.

But isn't that what audiences want? Endless self revelation that gets more & more extreme to maintain attention.

Isn't it scary that the next Dutch govt will be deliberately put together against the votes of the majority (who want the fascist Wilders). Like in UK, a liberal political "class" opposed to its own fascist people. Horrific.

I guess they figure that racism got a convicted criminal the Presidency of the US , so it must be a powerful message.
