Global heating is an outrage, not a tragedy…it is being done to us. By a narrow class who care only for the kind of money that buys power over others. Knowingly. Which makes it a crime. Tim Winton #climate #crime #taxtherich #billionaires www.theguardian.com/membership/2...

This is not a natural calamity: it is being done to us knowingly
Global heating is an outrage, not a tragedy. We deserve the facts about the climate crisis – I choose the Guardian because it’s one of the few places left to share them honestly

Voters are starting to ask a new question about politics, money
Debate about money in politics has traditionally revolved around whether politicians have broken the rules. But voters are increasingly asking what good judgement looks like.

'Collective human intelligence' is the whole case in three words. If the model is millions of people compressed, public ownership isn't redistribution, it's correct accounting, the asset returned to who it's made of. 50% is a floor. Why should the made-of-us own less than half?

Would you like to show that most people want change, bring community groups together, campaign for a citizens’ assembly on a fair tax system, support courageous political action? beyondbillionaires.org/plan/
A chart on a blue background. Two columns. First column - If we text rich people like this: for every dollar owned above 50 million, they pay two cents and for every dollar owned above 1 billion they pay one cent more. Second column – we could pay for all of this: universal childcare, lower housing cost by building millions of new homes, slash child poverty, expand Medicare, provide free community college and still have money left over

Giving minimum wage earners (about 100,000 people) a 6% wage increase to match inflation, and the 3m or so workers who have awards tied to it a 4.75% is not going to cause a wage price spiral. It means they can buy what they are already buying. Like bread AND milk and maybe some biscuits and fuel
