Fozzy @fozziepig.bsky.social · 07/10/2025Society needs to stop worshipping the super-rich and demonising the poor, while meekly accepting that wages must be kept low and corporate profits should grow forever. Having more money than you can possibly spend is not a good thing. 031
Fozzy @fozziepig.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Senior Republicans, including the President, blamed Kirk's shooting on "leftists" before the killer was even captured. Elon Musk posted "The Left is the party of murder", before the identity of the killer was known, let alone his motivations or political leanings. Jimmy Kimmel was correct. 010

Fozzy @fozziepig.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Trump's tariff wars already hitting stocks and bonds. Currencies will come next. Extraordinary volatility and unpredictable changes will quite possibly break some of the hedges that Hedge Funds rely on to minimise risks. Might we some of them go under? Could this lead to another big crash? 011

Fozzy @fozziepig.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Musk.and hos DOGE goon have been making a big deal of the :million people over 100 years old receiving social security" I am pretty confident 99% will be down to input errors, and those 150 year-olds are actually 50 y-o, bo4n in 1975 but entered as 1875 mistakenly.

Fozzy @fozziepig.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Taking the rich, and taxing big corps may be OK for a little while, but it's not going to address the longer-term structural inequality in our society. They just raise prices/cut labour costs/move money offshore We need to challenge the expectation that some can be super-rich. Nobody needs it. 100
Fozzy @fozziepig.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Some farmers don't earn very much money. The Inheritance Tax e emotional doesn't really help them.
