There is no Cost of Living Crisis.

Supermarkets have permanently quadrupled their profits.
Energy Companies have permanently x10ed their profits.

It is a Cost of Greed Crisis and it needs to be reversed.

Reform UK Easter reading:
"I was hungry and you said I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said we need an insurance based healthcare system..."

1/7 Failure Unlimited: russia has suffered 900,000 total casualties, expanded NATO, militarized Ukraine, and ruined its own economy, while reducing its control from about 30% of Ukraine in March 2022 to roughly 19% now. Look at the maps and witness the catastrophe!

Yesterday, our Bring Kids Back UA initiative launched a new campaign – one that, right now, brings together very different people through a deeply just emotion and an absolutely essential purpose.

Just ahead of Easter – a family holiday – we’re reminding the world that until the Ukrainian children stolen by Russia are returned, this war cannot truly be considered over.

We need real peace. And we will achieve it. Everyone needs justice. And it must be achieved. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine.

Excellent article in @heraldscotland by @DaniGaravelli1 on the work of Richard Welsh & Keira McLean of @rdwglass and whether #Glasgow’s astonishing legacy of Stained Glass - a skill which is on the Red List of Endangered Crafts - can be saved 👀👇🤔! https://t.co/2pKtCkLw5A

Hugely important warning: allowing cheaper US food imports that don’t meet the same environmental & animal protection standards as British farmers would sound a death knell for UK farms & rural communities. It must not be part of any future trade deal https://t.co/KSNoLNegRP

--> WH sends Harvard letter making outrageous (and illegal) demands

--> WH now says it was sent by accident (oops!)

--> WH blames Harvard (?) for reacting to the letter they sent

--> Harvard: The letter “was signed by three federal officials, placed on official letterhead, was sent from the email inbox of a senior federal official and was sent on April 11 as promised,” Harvard said in a statement on Friday. “Recipients of such correspondence from the U.S. government — even when it contains sweeping demands that are astonishing in their overreach — do not question its authenticity or seriousness.”

Harvard's statement continued:

If you don't let people claim the state pension until they're dead. Billionaires don't have to dip into their meagre funds to finance tea and biscuits for the old duffers who've outlived their usefulness to the wealth class #FollowBackFriday I follow back

Britain has the dirtiest rivers in Europe, the most expensive energy in Europe, the least reliable trains in Europe, the most overcrowded prisons in Europe and the widest gap between rich and poor in Europe. Could these things possibly be related?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Honig: So the white house's position is it was malpractice by Harvard to not realize that this letter was so outrageous it probably wasn't true. I think that statement actually just sort of gives away the whole game.

Some of y’all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal.

Regulations don’t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

Trump had no plan for Ukraine besides handing it over to Russia, his so called peace deal is just him trying to force a surrender. Trump and all his collaborators can go fuck themselves, nobody needs them or wants them. Ukraine will defeat Russia.

Mark Zuckerberg recently built a MASSIVE data center for META in Georgia

- There are residential homes just hundreds of yards away
- It uses so much water, residents no longer have water pressure in their homes
- Their sink water no longer works
- Their toilets don’t fill with water
- Their homes physically shake from the constant new construction
- The data centers use so much power they often go without power
- The small amount of water they do get to their homes is full of sentiment
