@TimWardCam You know, as I get closer to "retirement age", I'm finding out how much the #CaptalistSystem really fails folks who are #Seniors and who aren't #Millionaires or #Billionaires -- forcing them to have to do a mind-boggling amount of research to figure out if a Medicaid program will cover certain costs or even if you are covered if you leave the state to visit someone. It's horrible! And imagine folks with #MemoryIssues having to sort through all this BS? It's quite cruel! One of my friends who is a veteran was asked what his retirement plan was. His reply was "Drop dead in my vending booth" (he vends to make ends meet). Yikes! That's no way to take care of people -- especially those who have served!

COE remunerations wouldn’t be a problem if all investors (great & small) had a say and the power to cap them at reasonable levels. Or if the proper #TasReforms were legislated to prevent anyone becoming a #Billionaire as well as keeping #Millionaires in check. We have the tools to deal with all of this turpitude however, the political will is certainly wanting.Les aristocrates a la lanterne, ah ca ira, ca ira, les aristocrates on les aura.

In his latest article for #NewPolitics, #EddyJokovich has written up a boilerplate policy platform which would make for a great beginning in cleaning up our polity and laid the groundwork for substantial progresive legislation. It’s time we took a broom to our wokring democracy and deliver for the people.
“As we’ve discussed many times before, the immediate reforms are available right now: real-time disclosure and tighter limits on political donations; comprehensive registration of professional and in-house lobbyists and restrictions for how much access they can gain with ministers; publication of ministerial diaries; enforceable cooling-off periods for former ministers; stronger whistleblower laws and protections for journalists; truth-in-political-advertising, effective and workable Freedom of Information rules and a properly resourced National Anti-Corruption Commission operating with greater transparency than what it has shown over the past three years.”
Now, Jokovich isn’t exceptional in the sense that he alone has the answers to our political problems, but he neatly summarises what most of us are thinking and hence what most of us want done. There’s lot we need to do so we need govt to prioritise. For my money (my vote), Eddy’s list above would make a great election platform for the Greens to campaign on (and sell). In truth, I’d vote for anyone pledging to work and fight for these initial reforms.

RE: https://theblower.au/@cathywilcox/116835518126978590
There’s nothing like holding up a mirror to society, and #CathyWilcox does a better job of it than most cartoonists IMO.
Love this one — as scary as it is. Tbf, not all Australians are that bloody stupid but there are more than enough who are to cause me real concern here. We need a couple of #AntiGina #millionaires to splash some cash into public campaigns to wake voters up to the mess we’re in and how to get out of it.

Why Portugal is attracting the world’s super-rich.
In recent years, Portugal has seen a sharp rise in the number of ultra-wealthy residents, fuelled by property investment, international capital flows and the appeal of the Portuguese way of life.

Not all #millionaires oppose higher #taxes.
'Nearly 400 millionaires and #billionaires call for higher taxes on super-rich
(This article is more than 5 months old)'Mark #Ruffalo, Brian #Eno and Abigail #Disney sign letter timed for #WEF in Davos saying wealthy are buying #political influence'
'Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires from 24 countries are calling on global leaders to increase taxes on the super-rich, amid growing concern that the wealthiest in society are buying political influence.
'An open letter, released to coincide with the World Economic Forum in Davos, calls on global leaders attending this week’s conference to close the widening gap between the super-rich and everyone else.
'The letter, signed by luminaries including the #actor and film-maker Mark Ruffalo, the #musician Brian Eno and the film producer and #philanthropist Abigail Disney, says extreme #wealth is polluting politics, driving social exclusion and fuelling the #climate emergency.
'“A handful of global #oligarchs with extreme wealth have bought up our #democracies; taken over our #governments; gagged the freedom of our #media; placed a stranglehold on #technology and innovation; deepened #poverty and social exclusion; and accelerated the breakdown of our planet,” it reads. “What we treasure, rich and poor alike, is being eaten away by those intent on growing the gulf between their vast power and everyone else.
'“We all know this. When even millionaires, like us, recognise that extreme wealth has cost everyone else everything else, there can be no doubt that society is dangerously teetering off the edge of a precipice.”'

Talk about a hunting lodge for rich weirdoes, who apparently thought bringing over Eurasian #FeralHogs was a good idea?!!!
#Millionaires' Hunt Club
December 29, 2016"From my very first days as a reporter in #NewHampshire, I started to hear about a place hidden up in the woods of New Hampshire. A place full of unfamiliar animals from other places, but fenced off from the rest of the state, and kept quiet. I never heard about it directly — it was always through a guy who knew a guy, who had been inside — but the more I heard about the place, the more unbelievable it seemed.
"This massive, private park was called a 'millionaires hunt club' and 'the most exclusive #GamePreserve in the United States' and yet there were many people I know who had lived their entire lives in this state, but had never heard of it. So what is the secret of what’s behind that 26-mile fence cutting through the woods of New Hampshire, and why do some people work so hard to keep it a mystery?
"Officially it’s called the #BlueMountainForestAssociation, but everybody who knows about it calls it #CorbinPark. (Seemingly shortened from Corbin’s Park… we’ll get to the origin of the name.) It’s near the border with #Vermont and it’s huge, though its exact size seems to be something of a mystery. Regardless, at somewhere between 24,000 and 26,000 acres this park is actually bigger than something like 60 percent of New Hampshire towns.
"You can find the chain-link fence that encircles the entirety of the park at the end of any number of long rough dirt roads that lead to locked gates. It feels almost like like stumbling across a military base full of UFOs or some similar secret. The fence itself looks sturdy, if slightly weather-worn, and at regular intervals features small signs reprinted hundreds of times, 'the enclosed park fence and signs are protected by a special law of this state and any person trespassing herein or in any way violating that law will be prosecuted.'
"I got my introduction to the park from a man named Brian Meyette, a retired database administrator, who lives in an off-the-grid home, right next to the fence. 'In the fall it’s cool, because you get elk bugling in here,' he said as we walked down his icy driveway, 'I actually even came down here once because I could hear one and it sounded like he was bugling just inside the fence.'
"Elk, in case you didn’t know, are a Western thing. We don’t have them in New Hampshire. Except on the other side of this fence. And that’s not the only thing that’s over there.
" 'Any time people come up here to work or anything, they always say, ‘oh did you see the pigs?’ said Brian, laughing. When he says pigs, he’s referring to Eurasian #WildBoar, imported from Germany into New Hampshire. 'And no,' Brian continued, 'normally you come down here and it’s just you see a bunch of trees, that’s all you ever see.”
"But while you might not see them, there are elk bugling and Eurasian wild boars hustling around behind those fences.
"But why?
"The trouble with finding the answer to that question is that no one inside of Corbin's Park wants to talk about it. Corbin’s Park is a member’s only club. If you are a reporter, and identify yourself as such, not only do the employees of the park not want to talk to you, but the members don't want to talk to you, the people they have invited as guests don't want to talk to you, even some regular folks in town don't want to talk to you."

The really sad thing? We don't have to take one penny from all the #millionaires, #billionaires, or even the #trillionaire in order to feed, clothe, educate, and provide #healthcare to all humans. All we have to do is stop spending #money on our collective #militaries.

Poundland in Accrington, Lancashire (the English one) today refused to allow access an operator till for a customer in a wheelchair, so she told the staff member she was welcome to put it all back on the shelf.
Totally agree.
They already had a girl working a proper till, but she was only willing to do a refund for a lady who’d bought the wrong batteries.
Don’t care how ‘cheap’ the goods are (and they’re not a ‘Pound’ in that store any more). If you force folk to use self-service tills, you don’t deserve any business. Not just from disabled customers either.
Can guarantee the millionaire owners/board are not on minimum wage, or using self-service tills.

Germany has by far the most ultra-rich, and continues to add more.
