If we'd frozen peoples rent in 2022 - the average UK household would be saving £2400 every year.
And saving the Government £2bn a year!
Any Government who is serious about ending Rip Off Britain would bring in rent controls now.
I'm not sure 'It should be just as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to start it'.
If someone has entered into a contract then they should honour the terms. If they want to break those terms then they should pay a penalty.
this is what the problem is with the UK
people just want to be angry
so many fallacies; hey you tweeted out something you're doing and they extrapolate that out to mean theyre doing nothing else? comical
@mlejva im sorry that your likely extremely technical brain cant comprehend community building; makes total sense that you are building e2b though considering ...
@sp4rkl3jumpr0p3 because he knows the impact and doesnt listen to gen pop idiots haha, focus on direct impact to regular people; wealth tax takes a lot longer and comes with significant risk to working class people
we are actually early stage capitalism, ive argued this or a while, things like this back that up. capitalism isnt about monopolies capturing entire money tree. perfect capitalism is the perfect balance between competition, r&d and profits
Potentially my most hottest of hot takes is that all things considered Supermarkets in the UK are a sign of capitalism "working".

Even M&S, a supposed luxury supermarket, is now competitive...
Vape shops. Betting shops. Dodgy businesses.
If you look at your high street these days and think ‘who asked for this?’, you’re not alone.
I’m doing something about it. We’re giving local people and councils more control over what opens, and tougher powers to crack down on businesses that aren’t good for our communities.
For too long, Westminster has stood by while our high streets declined. That ends now.
We're making Claude Sonnet 5's introductory pricing permanent.
We launched Sonnet 5 in June at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens through August 31, and that price will remain unchanged.
Bernie Sanders has written a letter to Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Mark Zuckerberg urging them to immediately pause all AI development in the interest of humanity. And he warns if they do not take appropriate action now, the US Senate will.
i noticed, that almost everyone is smart during the same day, but very few people wake up the next day and still have the plan in their head.
e.g. "I'll eat healthy"
wakes up tomorrow and forgets
or "Ive learned so much from this PG essay, I'll apply it"
wakes up tomorrow and forgets
I've tried mentoring people, and everyone understood everything literally I said the day we spoke, but the day after they acted as if we never spoke
idk what to call this, but basically some people can keep their flows/plans throughout days/weeks/months/years, and others do a factory reset every morning
just my little observation
maybe it'll be helpful to someone who resets every morning, but dude, act right now, tomorrow you're gonna forget that you read this
