David Higham @oldtrotter.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It’s ironic that in an age when technology, globalisation and climate change have reduced the power of individual governments, we expect the state to do more. This is not, I venture to suggest, a sustainable position. 293
Dave H @thinkfoo.uk · 21/09/2026Why at a time when national governments are weak and increasingly being outplayed but the ultra wealthy would those same ultra wealthy individuals back cynical populist parties that are against international governmental cooperation? It's a mystery. 110
Catio Miles @catiomiles.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The ultra wealthy have their base in US. And they use the power of the US government to extract goodies either from countries like Venezuela or from their so called “global services“ pushing everyone else around. That’s a model. 020
