🇨🇳 China just switched on the world's largest offshore solar farm
2.3 million solar panels. 2,934 steel platforms. 11,736 piles driven into the ocean floor. Built to survive force-11 gales and sea ice.
It sits 5 miles off the coast and powers 2.67 million people.
Oh, and they're also farming fish underneath it 😳
Landlord charges £12,000 rent a year and is charged £6,000 per year on the mortgage interest.
Of that £6,000 profit the government gets £4,536 the landlord gets £1,464
Of that £1,464 landlord has to cover repair costs, etc
Is it the landlord or the government inflating rents?
Labour can try to change the subject to the Renters’ Rights Act and wheel out one of their former staffers, now a podcast host.
But politics isn’t vibes.
It’s lives.
This game-playing to please Big Money will push leaseholders to defect to the Greens and Lib Dems on Thursday.
Never forget, Britain is a country that banned Kanye West from entering but allowed a murderer from Egypt to arrive by small boat and gang rape a British girl.
The establishment must be smashed.
Again and again and again!
“We will not raise taxes on working people”
Yet here we are with taxes increased to the highest peacetime level on record an extra £130billion a year … or £4,500 per household.
They lied to gain power 🤡
🎥Sh*t parents...
As a working parent and higher-rate taxpayer, I'm sick of funding the lifestyles of feckless, indolent, irresponsible parasites at the expense of my own kid.
@samuel_leeds Turn it into a community centre
You could rent it out but also teach young people financial skills for life like workshops ect
Great for community and brand and save a church everyone wins
Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:
You buy a Pokémon card for $50.
Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.
The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."
Government: "Don't care. Pay up."
You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.
Next month? That card drops back to $50.
Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.
That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...
Now picture this.
Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.
But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.
So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.
Gone.
To pay a tax on money that was never real.
Now picture the opposite.
Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.
Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.
He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.
Does the government give him his money back?
No.
Does the government give him his truck back?
No.
Does the government care?
No.
They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.
You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.
You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.
It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.
They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.
There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.
I hope you understand what's at stake.
