  6. The BBC decides this constitutes news…

    The founder of plastics giant Ineos says he’s ‘lost confidence’ in the UK - “Unfortunately the UK has got a bit of a green eye towards wealth at the moment." 😢

    His qualification for making the headlines, having £15bn, not for profiting from thousands of years of pollution, & killing our futures with impunity.

    Broadcasting impartiality died decades ago.

  11. I’ll be in my 80s, my kids will be in their 40s, grandchildren teenagers. Who in the right minds would not be slamming the breaks on global material consumption, to repair, reuse, tax the *uck out of, end billionaires and deploy humanity to landscape scale environmental restoration.

    What’s going wrong here, political leadership and their corruption by wealth, and establishment embedded thinking.

  19. The gap between #EstablishmentDemocrats and #DemocraticSocialists is widening at an unprecedented rate.

    Infuriated #Democratic voters have thrown out 6 House #Democratic incumbents (the highest number in 5 decades).

    Majority 51% of ALL #Democrats, not just #DSA #DemocraticSocialists say their party has been captured by #billionaires interests. #CitizensUnited

    This is not just a #Progressive thing. No, it is the entire Party that is frustrated with their leadership.

  22. ⬆️ >> Solution is to…
    1. rectify imbalances in wealth distribution through judicious taxation
    2. keep essential services like defense, health, etc outside of private hands

    #US is failing in both…

    …because BOTH #Republicans & #EstablishmentDemocrats are funded & controlled by #corporate interests & #billionaires who do NOT want adverse taxation policies and DO want to profit from defense contracts, prisons, #healthcare, and so on.

    That's why BOTH fear #DemocraticSocialists #DSA
