CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

I’ve walked the fields at dawn for years. The air used to hum with bees. Now it’s quieter every season. What most people never see is the scale: over 3.7 million tonnes of pesticide active ingredients poured onto the planet every year — more than double what we used in 1990.

Indiana told the public it gave less than $1 million in data center subsidies in 2025. The real number? $655 million. And $561 million of that went to a single company: Amazon. While Hoosiers pay sales tax on groceries, Amazon paid nothing. This isn’t economic development. It’s a heist.

Main rate of UK Corporation Tax cut from 52% in 1983 to 19% in 2017-23, now 25%. They told us cuts would increase investment and wages. For the last 30 yrs UK has been at or near the bottom of the OECD league for investment. Real average wage unchanged since 2008. Capital and execs benefited.

Part of the 'trickle-down economy' myth invented by Reagan & still stubbornly cited is that business owners create jobs when given the chance & 'right' tax/financial environment. This ignores that most businesses seek to make & extract profit, not strive for sustainability or serve communities.
Harry Eccles tweeted:

Musk sacked 80% of staff when he bought twitter

Bezos is sacking 14,000 people to replace with Al

Microsoft are cutting 4.1% of jobs (9,100) to replace with Al

Intel are cutting up to 25% of staff to replace with Al

What's that about billionaires creating jobs?

Building trust with Europe for Reset Mk 2 will require facing down Europhobia. There are loads of steps that UKG can take immediately, including constitutional, voting and media reform that would be very helpful. But ultimately voting for populists, even toying with it, as a cost 6
If the EU is to reduce its enmeshment with US security because Trump has made Washington an unreliable partner, it is hardly likely at the same time to substantially deepen its reliance on an ally prone to similar unreliability. After Brexit, and with Farage in the offing, that is exactly what the UK is for the EU. And for the UK that means that, as well as being made poorer each year by Brexit, it is made more vulnerable to those who would do it harm.

There is always the myth that no one resisted Nazi Germany. But 130,000 Germans were arrested in Adolf Hitler's first 3 months in power. 70,000 Austrians in the first 3 days when he invaded. And nearly 2m Germans overall. They just didn't resist early and hard enough.
