@mrjamesob.bsky.social How can a pension be both ‘worthless’ and ‘unsustainable’. How do our peer countries sustain their much higher and earlier pensions? BTW, pensions are not paid out of taxes. Pls stop repeating this. Taxes do not fund services.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Pls stop repeating the ‘household budget’ myth re Scotland. The only constraint on a sovereign currency issuer isn't "does spending exceed revenue," it's whether real resources, labour, materials, productive capacity exist to absorb that spending without generating inflation

There's a lovely, widely accepted story about how humanity escaped poverty: capitalism. One variable, one chart, one conclusion. Incomes were flat for ten thousand years, then capitalism arrived and the line went up. “The hockey stick.” It's wrong, spin, myth. A lie. Let me tell you why.

Farage wasted £239,529 on a by-election stunt to avoid scrutiny. That’s 6474 summer suuport kits to help Big Issue vendors survive the heat waves www.bigissue.com/summer/ Or 5506 food parcels from a Food Bank for a single person.

Initially, Farage spoke of there being a "plot to embarrass him" at the count. He should have added that he was the author of that plot.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The Leave vote was highest in areas with lest immigration and lowest in areas with high immigration (save for Boston). It’s not a rational argument. It isn’t affected by figures. It is fear and hate.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social NIMBYism. The English disease. It’s the main cause of cost overruns. Not just railways but every other infrastructure project. Check out the planning costs compared to (say) France. Results in prices 7x times higher per mile for comparable projects. Entitlement.

For 14 years the UK voted to keep the Tory party in power. The Tories suppressed wages, cut investment, boosted corporate profits, took us out of the EU, pushed up prices, tripled immigration and doubled NHS waiting lists. Who does the electorate blame? Labour. Fuck ‘em. Whining idiots.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Trump’s “victory timeline” claims. Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully." Mar 11: “You never like to say too ⁠early you won. We won. In ​the first hour it was over.”

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Trump? Humans deplore chaos. It’s bad for us. Unpredictability makes living very difficult. We put great effort into normalising our lives. Acknowledging that someone in power is not just bad but chaotic is anathema to us. It’s why we pretend there’s method in his madness.
