  2. Sweden, a ‘paradise’ for the ultra-rich, debates a billionaire tax ahead of elections.

    Regarded as one of the most egalitarian countries in the world, the number of billionaires in Sweden has continued to rise while poverty has increased.

  7. Oh good. Even more centralisation. Just what the most overcentralised wee country (that's actually a medium sized country but thinks it looks cuter if it pretends to be small) urgently needs.

    Not #ClimateAction; not #ScottishIndependence; not #LandReform; not #WealthTax; not #LocalDemocracy. Nope, none of that. Just mash all the health boards into just two, and everything will be sorted.

    Remind me, why did we vote for these clowns?

  8. I saw a meme post on Facebook suggesting that no one earns a billion dollars except by wage theft, that no one works a billion times harder than other hardworking people who make ordinary wages. That seems a fair claim. I wrote this next paragraph in response, kind of as a spur of the moment thought, but it's something I want to spend more time thinking about:

    I used to think that one solution to this was the practice of asking CEOs to not make more than some fixed multiple of their lowest-paid employee. But now I see the goal is to not employ anyone either. A lot of the benefits for corporations are justified on the idea that they employ people, so helping them helps people. Now that this assumption is on a path to being increasingly violated, we need to reconsider our special treatment of corporations as well.

  9. Why is democracy failing?

    🤔 Because the #UltraWealthy are buying it.

    Additionally, the #SuperRich are leveraging their media platforms to convince voters that they need #Fascism

    What we really need is a #WealthTax. Concentration of wealth is toxic to democracy

    #PeterGeoghan ‘s examination of Reform party financing lays it out in all its ugly nakedness 👇
