Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

The AI companies plan to spend $2.5tn this year. And that is just on RAM for Video Cards. The overall spend will be over $10tn. This ridiculous bubble is not sustainable it will collapse, AI cannot deliver anything like its cost.

History is written by the victors. Thatcher broke the power of trade unions by mass unemployment, industrial restructuring, frittered away N Sea Oil, laid the foundations for the current housing crisis, decimated local bus services, hollowed out local government and introduced the poll tax.
Simon Clarke 

Andy Burnham seems to remember a different 1970s to the rest of us. Britain in 1979 was utterly broken - ravaged by unaccountable trade union power, economically stagnant, the sick man of Europe.
The 1980s saw a remarkable national recovery based on free enterprise, the rule of law and championing Western values. And it is this that our Prime Minister rails against...

It's important to understand that before Margaret Thatcher Social Care in the UK was basically nationalised. 100% of children and 64% of Pensioners were in Nationalised Social Care. And that it was destroyed by FORCING Councils to sell it off by freezing their budgets.

Its unlikely Simon Clarke has bad memories of the 1970s as he was born in 1984. This helps to explain why he forgets a recession made worse by Thatcher driving interest rates up with her uneccessary monetarist policy. The only thing that saved the tories was the Falklands war & North Sea oil.

🚨Arsene Wenger knew about Manchester City’s cheating 15 years ago. The Arsenal manger spoke up, but no one listened. In fact the people are the top were so corrupt, he was told to be quiet. (1/3)

I want politics to become embarrassing for wealthy people again. Not dangerous, or violent, just deeply, socially, spiritually fucking embarrassing to hoard obscene wealth while your neighbour skips dinner.

On a serious note though. The Man City board of directors should be disqualified, the business should be made insolvent and for a period of 2-15 years they cannot run another business in the UK. That’s the law under the Company Directors Act 1986. The punishments have to be just.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

#MorningVibe dravonrangel.com teaches us the meaning of “woke”. They weaponized ‘woke’ because awake people ask questions, recognize patterns, remember history, and feel another’s pain. Get woke, stay woke. It’s go time.

This is a picture of the biggest benefits claimant in the UK. They claim an eye watering £17,500,000,000 a year. The same as 4.4m people on benefits. How? Because they claim ALL their costs, every wage, every oil rig, every tanker. Completely nationalised, but the profits are Privatised.

In 1940, with fascism raging across Europe, the world's most famous silent movie actor spoke out. Five years later the shameless liar Charlie Chaplin mocked in The Great Dictator, who persuaded a third of Germans that whoever opposed him was their enemy, celebrated his "winning" by killing himself.
