The British "wealth exodus" is a big fat myth. Stories of the wealthy fleeing from potential wealth taxes have been pushed by consultancies who sells "golden passports" and residence visas to their wealthy clients. They have a direct stake in pushing this narrative. 1/3

Americans’ electricity bills are predicted to rise by as much as 18% over the next decade, thanks to cuts to clean energy production in Trump’s big, ugly bill. Red states are likely to see the biggest increases. Trump put his Big Oil donors over his own voters.

The thing is, if we don't continually destabilise the Middle East and make the world a less safe place, we won't need to make as many weapons, and that would be bad for the economy.

This week, I delivered the first Wheelton Family Oration for the wonderful LMCF. It’s been recorded and will be shared soon, but in the meantime, and for the TLDR (or TL Won’t Watch 🙂 ) here are a few of the key points: katherinetrebeck.com/wheelton/ #upstreamchange #wellbeingeconomy

A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich

"Japan's domestic LNG demand has peaked" Yet, Australia justifies opening up new gas projects as some sort of heroic act to meet Japan's gas needs.....

Pretty nuts (& pretty much the definition of siloed thinking) that as unprecedented floods ruin livelihoods & claim lives across NSW, the new Minister for the Environment, was once Min for Emergency Management, is poised to allow another fossil-fuel project to proceed www.msn.com/en-au/money/...

No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029. Or about Gaza. Or poverty. Or inequality. Or international aid. Or corporate power. Or democratic reform. Or racism. Or trans rights. So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote. What are they playing at?

Yay @melyoung53.bsky.social!!! Huge congratulations to you my friend

So much to be peeved about in this!

This is an example of a different approach to provision of shelter. It's not about "all mine", but "what can we share?" It's about community -not financial capital - first. It is pretty normal in other parts of the world, but in Australia is going against the grain. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

"fixation on economic growth as the solution (putting all their eggs in one basket) while avoiding how the economic system drives health inequalities (dancing around the elephant in the room) maintains focus on downstream rather than structural & econ determinants" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40304229/

"It'd be a mistake for Labor to take this result & see it as an endorsement of more of the same. If Labor doesn't do something to materially improve people’s lives & reform the country, it's heading down same path as the Coalition" @amyremeikis.bsky.social in www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Alternate headline - Don’t fuck it up If Labor doesn’t do something with power this time round (assuming the polls and vibe are right) to materially change people’s lives for the better, they risk consigning themselves to irrelevancy www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
