Why are all the people who go for the great replacement theory so cool about billionaires with massive investments in AI and robotics?

We have a shed at the end of our garden, where I like to drink beer with my mates. Just had a great drink-up after a long break. Jack White, the rock god, has made the atmosphere there so much over the years. From Dead Leaves through to Icky Thump, it's electrifying, psychedelic and soulful […]

Any thoughts on this @paulcallaghan.bsky.social l, @tom-clark.bsky.social , @guardianheather.bsky.social , @jburnmurdoch.ft.com , @danneidle.bsky.social , @adamlbrown.bsky.social , @peterlevell.bsky.social? Most of what I read suggests tariffs are batshit crazy and doomed, but YV thinks otherwise.

I reposted this earlier in the week, and replied to several of the posts in the thread. Mysteriously none of these are visible in my timeline. I am hoping the fossil fuels industry has not yet found a way to NERF this kind of material.

My view: if that tax treatment is aimed at achieving desired savings for pensioners, we shouldn't take it away by directing their investment [that will be the effect; lowering returns, increasing risk]. If the tax treatment is too generous, increase taxes.

For my last few toots I have been mostly using #UKPolicyCharts to show how inequality has increased over the last 14 years and more. It has become a runaway train. It is cementing itself across generations, and internationally. I'm not sure if either of the two main parties have policies to […]

🧵 This Resolution Foundation graph comparing housing costs for renters and owner-occupiers again shows growing inequality under the ConDem and Conservative governments of the last 15 years. TBF it was widening under New Labour before that, too. This is important for many reasons 1/3 #UKPolicyCharts

The graph shows a steady widening of average housing costs per square metre between private renters and mortgagors. Respectively the gap grew from approx. £8 to £4 in 2010-11 to approx. £12 to £3 in 2021-22.
