@dr_ericberg Apart from the obvious, cut out wheat, pasta, rice. Unless you’re exercising significantly, you don’t need them. Otherwise, just eat fruit and vegetables, which are mineral/vitamin dense carbs. 1x sweet potato, 1x chicken breast is all most people need for an evening meal.
The UK has a far flatter income distribution than the Communist Soviet Union.
The UK take home minimum wage for working a full time job (40-hours) is now £22,555.
At £100k salary, the take home is £68,558.
That is a net income ratio of 3.04:1
We are now at the point where the wage compression and taxes in the UK means that the difference between minimum wage and a top 5% salary is a net income difference of only ~3x.
In the USSR using the same comparison, this figure never fell below 5:1
It's actually even worse in reality because the person earning £100k in the UK often has student loans.
Britain is nominally capitalist but functionally communist. China is nominally communist but functionally capitalist.
Funny how that works.
@PolitlcsUK Across my undergrad and post grad loans I’m paying £700 a month. If I receive no further salary increases for the rest of my career, I will pay back ~£230k. I borrowed £70k. This is on top of an ever growing tax and NI bill. I know people on half my salary with similar take home
🚨NEW: At the end of PMQs, Edward Leigh MP raised a Point of Order on Keir Starmer regularly not answering questions
The speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, admits there is nothing he can do
@PolitlcsUK Isn’t it embarrassing that answers to important questions in the interests of the country aren’t addressed, and replaced with snide premeditated slander. This applies to effectively all politicians.
The leg press in the gym is just an invitation for weak men to stroke their ego.
Can’t squat 125 lbs, but somehow you’re loading 10 plates on the leg press.
Trump in January: “The problem with NATO is that we’ll be there for them 100% — but I’m not sure that they’d be there for us.”
He wasn't wrong, was he?
