London tube drivers are on strike today. Again.
Because on an average salary of £71,000 for pushing a few buttons, they're so hard done by. 🙄

🚨 The Government loses up to £81bn of taxpayers money every single year.

That comes directly from the National Audit Office.

While millions of people are struggling with rising bills, higher taxes and collapsing public services…

…the Government is losing up to £81 BILLION a year through fraud and error.

Yet instead of fixing the system first, politicians immediately jump to the same answer every time:

❌ Raise taxes
❌ Borrow more money
❌ Tell the public there is “no alternative”

And it gets even worse.

Some Government departments still cannot properly pass audit after decades.

No normal person would look at a system haemorrhaging that much money and think:

“Let’s give them even more money.”

But that is exactly what our politicians keep doing.

Its trite to say it but if someone did this to a black man the media would be in a melt down and The Prime Minister would probably have called the man personally to check he was ok. Then we'd have several weeks of discussion on tv about what's causing racism, everyone would know the guys name, and the guy would get invited to meet the king or something.

An old man is selling watermelons by the side of the road.

His sign reads:

1 for $3
3 for $10

A young man stops and buys one watermelon.

“That’ll be $3,” says the old man.

The young man then buys a second watermelon. And then a third.

After paying another $3 each time, the young man picks up his watermelons and starts to walk away.

Then he turns back, grinning proudly.

“Hey old man,” he says, “you realize I just bought three watermelons for $9 instead of $10? Maybe business isn’t your thing.”

The old man smiles and shakes his head.

“Funny… every time somebody comes by, they buy three watermelons instead of one… and then try to teach me business.”

UK news: HS2 could cost up to £102.7bn and may not open until 2039 (BBC)

This is Chongqing railway station rebuild in China. It cost £16.5bn and took only around 3 1/2 years to complete.

Their high speed rail (350km/hr) cost just £5.9bn and took 6 years

THIS GUY VIBE CODED A WEBSITE WHERE ANYONE ON THE INTERNET CAN FEED HIS CAT

you go to the site, press a button, and his cat's automatic feeder dispenses food in real time

there's a live camera so you can watch the cat walk up and eat what you just gave it

and it's not just his cat. other cat owners can connect their feeders too so you can feed random cats around the world from your browser

he's also adding computer vision to detect when a cat is actually near the feeder so only videos with cats in them get shown at the top

a weight scale and cat recognition is also being added for a "greed leaderboard" tracking which cat eats the most

completely useless, zero business model, and no monetization strategy

and yet this is the kind of weird internet project that goes viral overnight because everyone immediately gets it and wants to try it (including me)

GENIUS!!!! 🤣🤣

One day, Professor Albert Einstein had to give a talk at a big science conference in Chicago.

On the drive there, he sighed to his driver and said, “I’m tired of these conferences. I give the same speech every single time.”

The driver chuckled and said, “Well, Professor, I’ve heard that speech so many times I could probably give it myself.”

Einstein laughed and said, “You know what? That’s not a bad idea. Let’s switch places for today.”

So they swapped clothes, and when they arrived, the driver went on stage dressed as Einstein.

Meanwhile, the real Einstein sat quietly in the audience wearing the driver’s uniform.

The driver confidently delivered the entire speech just like he’d heard it dozens of times.

Everything was going perfectly—until a scientist in the crowd stood up with a very complicated question.

He clearly wanted to impress everyone and hoped to stump Einstein.

The room went completely silent as everyone waited for the answer.

The driver stared at him calmly and said, “Sir, that question is so simple…”

“I’m actually going to let my driver answer it for you.”

Salvador Dalí adorava jantar bem.

Grupos grandes.

Mesas longas.

Vinhos caros.

Os melhores restaurantes de Paris e Nova York.

E sempre insistia em pagar a conta.

Ninguém desconfiava.

Na hora de fechar, ele preenchia o cheque com o valor total, com calma e elegância.

Assinava.

E então, antes de entregar ao garçom, virava o papel e rabiscava um desenho no verso.

Um esboço rápido.

Elefantes.

Cavalos.

Figuras surreais.

Assinava embaixo.

E entregava o cheque ao estabelecimento.

Dalí sabia exatamente o que aconteceria a seguir.

O dono do restaurante não descontaria o cheque.

Colocaria numa moldura.

Exibiria na parede do melhor ponto do salão.

Um Dalí original, emoldurado, no restaurante.

Valia infinitamente mais do que qualquer refeição.

Os cheques com seus desenhos foram todos guardados.

E hoje valem uma fortuna.

Há relatos de que a prática aconteceu diversas vezes ao longo dos anos, em Paris e em Nova York.

Em uma das noites documentadas, no Café de la Rotonde em Paris, Dalí pediu ao garçom uma folha de papel, esboçou um elefante de tromba erguida, assinou embaixo e entregou com desenvoltura.

A conta estava paga.

E o estabelecimento havia lucrado com o negócio.

O que Dalí fez não era só excentricidade.

Era uma compreensão precisa de que o valor da sua presença e da sua assinatura já haviam superado o preço de qualquer cardápio.

Ele não precisava de dinheiro para pagar.

Precisava apenas de um pedaço de papel e de saber o quanto valia.

Oh it’s brilliant. This is Starmer in 2020

I suggest he watches this on loop

“When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to… You don’t look at the electorate and ask them ‘what were you thinking?’ You look at yourself and ask ‘what were we doing?’”

Taxes

OH …UNITED KINGDOM
This is very interesting.
If I give you £1 billion and you stand on a street corner handing out £1 per second, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, you would still not have handed out £1 billion after 31 years!

Now read on. This is true and rather hard to really understand.

The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.
1. A billion seconds ago, it was 1959.
2. A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
3. A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
4. A billion days ago, no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
5. A billion Pounds ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate our present government is spending it.
We are charged:
· Stamp Duty
· Tobacco Tax
· Corporate Income Tax
· Income Tax
· Council Tax
· Unemployment Tax
· Petrol/Diesel Tax
· Inheritance Tax (tax on top of tax)
· Alcohol Tax
· G.S.T.
· Property Tax
· Purchase Property Tax
· Tax on Title Searches
· Tax on Building Inspections
· Tax on supplements
· Taxes on various food items
· Taxes on Dining out
· Tax on all utilities – Phone, hydro, water, waste disposal
· Service charge taxes
· Social Security Tax
· Vehicle License / Registration Tax
· Vehicle Sales Tax
· Workers Compensation Tax
· And now Carbon Tax
AND I’m sure you can think of more...

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 60 years ago, and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt.
We had the largest middle class in the world. A criminal’s life was uncomfortable. What on earth happened?

Kier Starmer was visiting a very small village in the UK, and asked the villagers what the
government could do for them.
"We have two big needs" said the village spokesman. "First, we Have a health centre, but no doctor." Starmer whipped out his mobile
phone, spoke for a while and then said "I've sorted it out, a doctor will arrive here tomorrow.
“What is your other need then?" “We have no mobile phone reception at all in our village”. 😬🤣
