@luisella_mary @Marji264 @abierkhatib @Peta95087329 Can you share the name of the app?

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@Marji264 @luisella_mary @abierkhatib @Peta95087329 I think they’ve banned goods sold from occupied Palestinian land but not all Israeli goods. Might have misremembered that though

@JasonR32169 @msiobhanjordan @JamesTate121 You want to put money away in case u might want to spend it or yr kids might want to spend it one day. I prefer for it to be used now for people that need it now and there be a safety net for all when needed. I understand the difference and didn’t say u shouldn’t share yr view

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@JasonR32169 @msiobhanjordan @JamesTate121 You asked why you can’t say where you want your money to go. I don’t understand.

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@BGwhatsaname @msiobhanjordan @JamesTate121 People who earn more in Sweden pay a higher % of their wages in tax than those who earn less. I think k that is fair
People in Sweden need less money for essentials than in the US as they are funded from taxation. I think this is fair
I prefer the Swedish system to the US one

@fight_lies @tibortalks @amelia_tweetz Thank you. Privatisation is not the only change in the past decades. Some cost reduction will be technological developments, increase in the number of people using it etc. I wonder how easy it is to pick that apart and if the technology has been available to all to access.

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@JasonR32169 @msiobhanjordan @JamesTate121 You can

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@JasonR32169 @msiobhanjordan @JamesTate121 Because it’s not just about me. I want the people around me to be healthy, receive the education they need, have a safe and clean society that functions well.
That’s more valuable than an extra £659k over a working life for me. What would spend it on? More stuff?

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@RDalek99 @BrianHTweed So we as humans don’t really need to. It is just to feed the obsession of those who want more and more money to try cover up for some internal dissatisfaction or something

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@fight_lies @tibortalks @amelia_tweetz I’ve not seen figures on that I’ll have to take your word on it. Lots of changes in that sector too

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@JasonR32169 @msiobhanjordan @JamesTate121 I’d not. I’d rather have a healthier society that functions well because people receive the healthcare, educations, support etc they need.

Worth a lot more than £1k per month when on £100k, hardly struggling to make ends meet.

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@BGwhatsaname @msiobhanjordan @JamesTate121 No

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@NennaRC @msiobhanjordan @JamesTate121 And how much less you’d get. I’d much rather pay taxes & have free healthcare, education, parental leave, annual leave, good sickness benefits, support services such as fire, police etc, well maintained cities & parks. What do u need money for if it’s not the fundamentals of life

[Alex Lichen @AlexLichen_]

@Karlton111 @JamesTate121 Definitely never plan to live in the US

@ZackPolanski @hct2906 It’s very much like people pleased to be losing weight as they’ve wanted this for years, when actually they have cancer causing the weight loss.
People love the sunshine and heat and are revelling in the symptom of destruction rather than stopping the tumour growing.
