Robert Challis @robertchallis.bsky.social · 03/10/2025I support trickle-up economics where people doing important work to keep society supplied and running are well remunerated in the hope that a little of their wealth will trickle up to provide managers, politicians, lawyers, investors, speculators etc with the basic necessities of life. 46116
