  1. @NMBA This story has aged well... From 2018 - Donald Trump's 'pee tape' controversy, explained

    "So here's the thing. The dossier had a lot of incendiary claims — the big ones being that Trump had cooperated with Russians for years, that Trump is vulnerable to blackmail, and that his campaign maintained a “well-developed conspiracy of cooperation" with Russian leadership — but none of it could be substantiated, or at least not publicly."

  2. Meta, the altruistic tech giant, graciously contributed a staggering 3.5% in #taxes while investing millions to ensure #AI can run for office someday 🤖💸. Meanwhile, trickle-down economics continues its reign as the ultimate fairytale, promising #unicorns and rainbows for all 🦄🌈.

  3. @remixtures This wealth gap was created due to #Reaganomics and #Thatcherism. It has been exacerbated by all presidents since then, #Democrats and #Republicans, alike. 40+ years of #neoliberal economic policy has resulted in a wealth transfer from the poor, middle class to the millionaires and billionaires. Where #Dow and #FTSE were the gods on whose altar wealth of middle class and affordability were slaughtered in hopes of #TrickleDownEconomics.

    The reckoning is over due.

  4. Side thought I wish they would ask her to explain #trickledowneconomics #9

    No policy on the run so has no interest in having any. Not sure why they are the opposition and given air time.

  5. Bubble Up Economics:
    Money will bubble up to those least worthy and least in need.

    You need to take great care to prevent your money floating up to those richer than you. Conscientiously spend your money with your peers or those with less. Guard against holes which let your money escape and bubble up to the vultures.

  6. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that Rachel Reeves is credulous enough to trust an estate agent given that we already know she believes in trickle-down economics

  7. Trickle-down effect of 🛢️ ⚠️ oil pipelines for British Columbians. For the Thompson-Nicola Regional District in B.C.:

    ▪️pipeline companies pay lower property taxes

    🔜 reduction of assessed value from 23% to 30% for Thompson-Nicola Regional District

    ▪️ lost $ tax revenue for B.C. communities

    🔜 lead to potential increases in taxation to residential property owners of 25% -- before any other anticipated cost increases

    Merz und Konsorten lassen sich als Volksvertreter wählen, sind dann aber 100% Wirtschafts- und Finanzvertreter. Politik für natürliche Personen gibt's nur für die obersten 10%; Dort wird alles hinten reingeschoben und die restliche Bevölkerung bekommt das, was den eventuell, vielleicht -oder eben auch nicht- unter down-tricklt.
    Wer nur Politik für Moneten kann, wird bei den Menschen kaum Vertrauen gewinnen.

  9. The Australian Aboriginal society is wiser than we give them credit for. This is a society that has existed for more than 40000 years (some estimates put them at nearer 60000), but one of their dreamtime stories of Tiddalick the frog… conveys a story of the harms of so-called "trickle down economics".

    If you're ever in Warwick, have a look in the Condamine river, you'll see a statue of Tiddalick, and a version of this story. #TrickleDownEconomics #AboriginalStories

  10. This weekend I visited Tredegar House, a #NationalTrust property. I liked it, but I did see one quote from over 100 years ago, the last line of which shows that though things change, they stay the same.
    A rich person advocating #TrickleDownEconomics rather than #taxation

  11. How is it possible that anyone, never mind a local or national politician with some influence, can still promote 'growth' as an economic strategy without being ridiculed from all sides?! Probably for the same reason we still have the same folks seriously talking about #TrickleDownEconomics like an early 80s gold-plated dickhead, secure in the knowledge that most people neither give a crap, nor know any more than they do. The state of the world is relentlessly depressing.

    Klatten kriegt 1.1 Millionen die Stunde, und ich komm nach einem Jahr als selbstständiger Handwerker kaum über die 20.000 die ich zum Leben brauch.

    Da hilft kein #TaxTheRich mehr.

    Es braucht einen #Höchstlohn. Der ist überfällig. Meinetwegen beim 50-fachen des Mindestlohns. Dann haben die Milliardär*Innen auch einen Grund, den Mindestlohn zu erhöhen. Und #trickledowneconomics wird endlich wahr.

    Der Rest geht dann an Schulen, Krankenhäuser, die Bahnstrecken, die KiTas, Kleinbäuerliche Betriebe usw usf.

    Dafür bekommen die Milliardär*Innen jedes Jahr eine Karte, wo drauf steht welches Freibad sie saniert haben und welche Schule wieder ein funktionierendes Klo hat. Und weil ich so nett bin, leg ich noch ein Extra oben drauf: Einen Pokal und eine Glückwunschkarte, weil sie den #Kapitalismus offensichtlich schon durchgezockt haben. Dadurch, in die richtige Familie geboren worden zu sein.

  13. Ronald Reagan’s real legacy, charted and graphed. Spoiler: It’s not the bedtime story we’ve been told.

    A visual breakdown of the inequality, debt, and mass incarceration still shaping our lives.

    'Trickle-down' economics was never real.

  14. Yet again trickle down economics have been debunked. Every time Republicans bring this up they should be laughed out of town. Unfortunately interviewers never seem educated enough or bold enough to shut the shit down when it is mentioned. Biden should be doing Presidential addresses talking about it until it's in the zeitgeist and even Trumpers know it even if they didn't want to admit it.

    A #flatFee would work if ceteris paribus (all things remain equal), but we all know now they have a #moneyPump that they use to help those close to #power and so this is likely to be a remix of the failed #trickleDownEconomics.

    Even years before the 2019 #RepoCrisis and ensuing #bailouts thinkers were saying a #carbonTax would lead to #financialisation, without properly addressing issues.

    We need honest #leadership.

    That proposal is effectively #trickleDownEconomics mixed with #priceFixing, it hasn't worked for 51 years. It entrenches #neoFeudalism via the #cantillonEffect.

    Bitcoin is the hardest money ever discovered and hashing is a solemn duty to secure it from adversaries and saving our planet from #overConsumption. The militaryIndustrialComplex (#MICIMATT) is the ponzi literally burning the planet.

  17. @Tony_Meredith Thanks for drawing my attention to the relevance of #PrideAndPrejudice to #UKpolitics today. 225 years ago #Britain had a #Tory #PrimeMinister pushing for a fairer society with a #LivingIncome & an expansion of #WelfareBenefits. He was supported by many enlightened landowners but undermined by proponents of low taxes, #TrickleDownEconomics, & #charity. All astutely observed by #JaneAusten!

  22. I had a pretty bad #dream about #inflation and #profiteering earlier during my #sleeping #period today, I went to the #cinema and it was only me at the cinema, food and a couple of other condiments to enjoy including movie ticket cost me around $140 and I made a huge fucking deal about it with valid points as to why nobody goes out anymore and why file sharing is the new cinemas diy at home. The worker was in solidarity but also angered at the price I was quoted just to enjoy a day out at the cinema.

  23. @wdlindsy Americans feel like the #economy is failing them, because it is.

    GDP going up, stonks go up, etc... All great. For people with money.

    More and more people in the US are at the point where they have very little money. They can barely keep up with rent, groceries, and energy costs.

    But, stonk lines go up, so everything is good, right?

    #Inflation is "better now", but reducing how fast your money loses value doesn't change that it's losing value faster than your pay raises.

    And yes, "median pay is increasing"... For the higher end of the wage spectrum. Front line, #EssentialWorkers are not seeing the same gains. People playing the stonk market, or management are getting more money, though.

    So, yes, there are very real economic policies decisions to make, to get people feeling better about the economy. And #TrickleDownEconomics aka #Bidenomics isn't the answer.
