markwilsher.bsky.social @markwilsher.bsky.social · 03/10/2026For 'democratising markets' read 'circumventing regulation'. I'm so sick of these techbros making money by evading regulation. There's nothing clever about it, it's purely sharp practice. Come on governments - update your regulations! 092 9

markwilsher.bsky.social @markwilsher.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Tyrrano-techno-capitalism has been promising us a life of leisure to "enjoy art, gardening, volunteering" for over a hundred years. But all that happens is that workers are squeezed for more productivity, to extract more profit (for their boss) with their hours at work. AI & UBI is no different 030 3

markwilsher.bsky.social @markwilsher.bsky.social · 06/01/2026It must be a good thing to keep this on the agenda. And of course, it is all interrelated. Equality in one nation supports a wider peace, trade, economic progress... and eventually the cost of living in North Norwich. I think most people understand you can work on many issues at the same time. 000 0

markwilsher.bsky.social @markwilsher.bsky.social · 05/10/2025I'd love to hear you discuss the recently-emergent phrase "is there a world in which". Tends to be used in place of "is it possible" but to my ears sounds less analytical/objective and more ideologically driven, ie it's aiming at making that world actually happen, not just pondering the possibility 000 0

markwilsher.bsky.social @markwilsher.bsky.social · 07/09/2025It's striking that no one seems able currently to articulate a positive case for immigration, or for welcoming refugees.

markwilsher.bsky.social @markwilsher.bsky.social · 01/01/2025There are no NHS dentists in East Anglia, it's a dental healthcare desert. The official advice is to call 111 and get referred if you are in pain. There is no way to get checkups on the NHS, meaning "cure rather than prevention" which is obviously pretty dumb & inefficient 150 5
