The reality is that more people care about the economy because it affects them directly.

Definitely both. He worked really hard to become a (traditional) economist so he focused on that.

He doesn't even call himself left wing (although he obviously is) because we need to get the centre right voters on board too.

He also distinguishes between social left and economic left. He doesn't want to touch the social aspects because he has little expertise there and because a lot of the bigotry and racism stems from the economic stress which leads to scapegoating.

His central message is "tax wealth, not work". The details are not important yet.

 

I just discovered economist Gary Stevenson. He has over a million views of each weekly video on YouTube.

He is working class AF but graduated from LSE & Oxford and then made millions since 2008 betting that inequality will rise and that most people will be worse off. He was the most successful trader for Citibank but quit in disgust to reveal the scam to the public.

Nice to make 3000 degree heating zero cost. That temperature can destroy lots of toxins, but is normally too expensive.

I wonder how big the graphene market is.

We do call them cookers for a reason.

Why was the kid taken from her custody in the first place? Article doesn't say but I suppose it is easy to imagine several scenarios given her kookiness.

Including the not-so-fringe idea that voting for a minor party is a wasted vote.

OK I understand what you mean now.

Right wing hijacked women's right to work turning it into women's necessity to work for ever increasing mortgage/rent with half of it being siphoned off into childcare.

No more could a household rely on a single bread-winner.

It will never revert back to that historic barbaric practice. The little fingers will be good at assembling Temu junk on the production line.

9 hour days though :(

Hopefully countries who are already on 38 hour weeks will try 4 days of 8 hours.

~~I don't understand your rationale in your opening sentence. A larger population means a proportionate increase in workload.~~

I am totally with you on the productivity angle. Politicians, academics, journalists warn us about an ageing population resulting in an inverted population pyramid. "Who will look after the elderly?" they cry but never touch on productivity. Even the Left are silent. Strange

Some stereotypes are natural (let's be real) but to only cater to them makes it seem like everyone else is wrong.

A way around this is to perhaps present the video along the lines of "if you are the kind of person who feels X in situation Y, consider expressing it respectfully by doing A, B or C" (where X is a stereotype)

 

Politicians caught out lying about the science and bypassing any real consultation with communities.

Mainly ambient. We use software one of our crew developed based in Pure Data. Always keen to find new people to jam with so let me know if interested in joining us.

It operates pretty much like a DAW but with a primitive geeky UI.

You don't need to understand PD unless you want to "get under the hood" to modify instruments/fx or create your own.
