@zatzi Why would people vote for themselves to have less free money? The bond market is the only way this ends.
The phrase “throwing good money after bad” quite neatly describes being a British taxpayer right now
@mr_james_c This methodology also treats the money the gov pays out to all direct & indirect employees as being private in origin… Grok wasn’t willing to recalculate it to include all direct & indirect employees sadly.
@realhansard Probably the most egregious benefit going. £3 a week less (+ other benefits ofc) with 0 years of contribution than 35 years of contributions. It’s all a giant scam
@zatzi It’s a very handy worldview for always making sure you’re the good guy! So good you don’t even need to do good things! You just are good! And since you’re so good, anyone that isn’t like you must be bad! Isn’t it great you’re so good!

@DissidentSoaps@joeybeastmarket@elonmusk He’s 96 in August, how much longer does he have left? Looks like his son isn’t anywhere near as smart of an operator as he is
@maxtempers If this happens & we get increases in CGT + an exit tax as was seemingly leaked, we will be needing an IMF bailout next year with massive emigration of the productive class
@maxtempers So over 15% of households in Britain are paying 33-41% of the market rate & the rest of us are picking up the bill? & a tonne of these households aren’t even inhabited by British people?
@maxtempers The net migration data is make believe too, they only estimate the number of people leaving, assuming everyone leaves as soon as their visa runs out - they have no idea whether people actually leave or not
