In no world where billionaires exist should a scientist have to ask the general public to crowdfund the potential breakthrough cure for pancreatic cancer. And that’s why billionaires should not exist.
I see OP clarifies that ‘bashing low income’ (their words) is not their position only that it is an issue but all the engagement I see with this post seems to be missing this point entirely
Interesting how the campaign for a wealth tax has been warning of the gutting of the middle class as wages stagnate/low labour power/asset appreciation/monopolisation dominates but here the answer is to drive poverty by maintaining the min. wage - not fight to increase all pay
26.4k a year for minimum wage 40 hours a week. Teaching salary is 30k a year to start with. So you’re telling me I have to go to university for 4 years to then start off on a salary 3.6k more than someone who works at Tesco?
That makes sense…
Britain is rotting. Blocked road drains. Potholes. Rubbish strewn streets. Dirty buildings. Road signs covered in muck. We are paying increased council tax, yet local authorities aren’t doing the basics. So let’s take the matter into our own hands.
