Ah his type. Groundswell opposition to his (Atlas) agenda is "weaponization". Of course he'd say that. Of course his laws don't meet his own "standards". The RSB is to knock down things that don't fit his ideology, nothing more. www.1news.co.nz/2025/11/23/s...

Great. 🤦‍♂️. I don't suppose it's worth pointing out to these people the sharp decline in mortality of mother and child during birth in the last 100 years is it. So sad that people are taking this type of advice. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

He's literally pledging individual and companies money like he's do something himself. This just takes money out of the economy.....for those that can even afford to give up 6% of their wage right now.

End stage neoliberalism is well and truly here. So while the 99% of the world was suffering through Covid, the 1% became richer than ever. luxurylaunches.com/transport/lu...

They ignore science and research on pretty much everything this lot. This is just the next low to which they stoop. #moralltbankrupt #coalitionofChaos

The US can *actually* afford it. It's simply a policy choice not to.

"There’s no question we’ve lost sight of what makes travel fun – the excitement, the relaxation, the cordial conversations," Clearly written by somrbody who flys private jet or biz class. Plebian domestic US flights are a horror I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

Ridiculous. The problem is with the speed of the system. Not the number of jury trials. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/nov...

End stage neoliberalism. Starbucks make *huge profits* and next to no tax, yet won't pay people properly. It can only go on for so long before people are pushed to the edge. No Starbucks for me. I generally avoid it anyway... nypost.com/2025/11/21/b...

Wassup with asset sales? Why is a wealth tax a bit meh? Quick 🧵 Glib analogy, but life in the neoliberal economy is like monopoly. You work, earn cash, and pay for things you need as you go round the board. If you earn more than you spend, you can buy an asset - some shares, a house etc... [1/n]

Yes. Who pays for those "increased returns" for corporations? We do! When state owned they don't need to make any returns at all!!! Money stays with us. Right. These revenue collection wealth taxes will fail as they think they are for revenue collection. They should be about behavior modification.

Another failure in the big book of public private "partnerships". www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is not a Peace Plan. It's Ukraine Surrender plan. Putin gets rewarded for invading another country and it won't stop. It didn't stop with Crimea. If Ukraine cannot defend itself then nothing stops Russia from doing this again and again. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Something for the vocal minority critics in NZ to remember.

Grrr. UK Labour just don't get it. Taxes don't pay for anything. You don't need to "raise revenue " this way. What is this tax trying to achieve? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Japan never really understood why what they did for 30 years worked. It was their fiscal policy and not worrying about deficit spending against GDP that works. Now they are behaving as if bonds and monetary policy rules the roost. Bond vigilantes win again it seem www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Musk clearly is the biggest confidence trickster in the history of the world.

More tests...that always improves education...🤦‍♂️ www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

He's the ultimate shameless populist.

A laser is an offensive weapon. This is an act of war. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Nats: Embezzle funds from Kāinga Ora to spend on a bridge Also Nats: Well it's not like we were going to actually build any state houses is it? #NZPol

It's as if Priti Patel or Braverman are back. What on earth. Labour's demise is now complete.

Exactly. What's tearing the country apart is the huge gap between the wealthy and everybody else and decades of underspending on public services. Right wing rhetoric had directed the blame towards a convenient "other".

This is happening to swathes of accounts globally. Complaints are not being validated. Just acted on by AI / Bots or human agents who don't care. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

It will never be enough for the right wing and simply becomes inhumane for those who care about people. Sad to see. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/16/u...

Oh I see RFK's game now. Discredit real medicine so he and his mates can grift on quackery. It was obvious all along really. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/15/h...

MTG is more MAGA than Trump. Don't get me wrong, they are all morally reprehensible but at least MTG sticks to her views. Trump changes like the weather. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Houses are vastly more expensive than decades ago. Fact. Watch this to see why this is really the case. youtu.be/zLmrM1ocBGY?...

"One billion dollars". Trump... www.bbc.com/news/article...

People don't realise. Without these standards, hardcore pornogaphy could be on TV at 2pm in the afternoon. There could also be a channel that broadcasts the personal details of people Seymour doesn't like.

4% isn't a "wage hike". Japan's automotive union group vows no retreat on wage demands despite tariff pain ground.news/article/japa...

"No new wars" my ass. 🤦‍♂️

Imagine if they did something about the demand for drugs instead.

it's the neoliberal/neoclassical doctrine in full effect. Justify causing misery and ruining a country because "we can't afford it" while simultaneously "affording" to funnel billions to the richest with subsidies, contracts, tax breaks, preferential regulatory environments...

I'll end with the overall working-age benefits picture. It's still going up more than I thought it would - and that's a high bar. [Ends]

What goes through these peoples minds? And an Admiral with about 50 awards? Like this wouldn't attract tons of attention. Such high ranking people are well known and don't turn up randomly. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Imagine parts of the US military budget instead targeting the causes of drug use in the USA ..🤦‍♂️ www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11...

So if it's illegal for Blue states to do it...it must be illegal for Red states to do it. Wonder how they will resolve thst contradiction. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...

Funny how billionaires don't complain about "market distortion" and "crowding out" when it's a golf course propped up by public funds. Corporate welfare is the biggest welfare of them all it seems.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

What they are doing is to be applauded, it's also one for people who don't think "White privilege" is a thing. Here it is, it shouldn't exist at all but since it does here is how it can be used for good. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/13/u...

$50 Billion in welfare to one company. Tesla and Musk may be the single biggest "welfare queen" in US history.
