Do block me if you cannot accept criticism - it will make your complacency about how the rest of the world sees your putrid society easier to sustain

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum.
Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

New article from me where I propose a Pigovian automation tax to slow down the deployment of AI by companies in a way that also creates an incentive for them to embrace shorter workweeks, lower their prices, boost the incomes of displaced workers, and take a healthy step toward Medicare for All.
A 4-Day Workweek, Medicare for All, and the Tax That Gets Us There
How a Pigovian automation tax can turn AI’s productivity gains into a 4-day, 32-hour workweek and universal healthcare

Prosecutors accused Delo of being the “leader of a criminal enterprise” who knew that his Bitmex platform had become a “magnet for money laundering and criminal activity”.

Nothing would do more to restore local economies in rural areas than universal basic income. Main streets across the US would be revived as new businesses started, and customers immediately spent money there, prompting those businesses to hire workers to meet demand and fuel more local spending.
Boseong’s rural basic income is already boosting local economies. Within just 12 days of the first payment, the money flowed to supermarkets, restaurants, fuel providers, pharmacies and other businesses, strengthening household security and local economies.zurl.co/7yPkj

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

RNLI volunteers put themselves in harm’s way to save lives. They should never face abuse or threats for doing so.
That includes the crews based on the Thames, who respond to hundreds of incidents every year.
They deserve to be thanked, not attacked.

He then puts up a new post having deleted the last sentence. (See thread)
