@GregTSargent This will likely be Americas last free election as well. Countries falling to fascism all over. Expect Hungary playbook to unfold. Will start with broadcast rights being yanked for outlets. Then the court system. Elections will take place, but not really. Big sea change coming.
@RichardPyke87@SharePickers Prediction pieces are usually the kitchen sink. Look for mention in the main Budget tick tock. £3b raise is the only thing I found this AM.
@CapitalPmh@RachelReevesMP I say 1% as if she really wanted to, she could close the loophole while announcing a grandfathering for current investors and wind down or some reform of the AIM market. But that hassle for £1b in revenue? Doubtful.
@CapitalPmh@RachelReevesMP Might be on an island here, but I think there is about 1% chance she closes AIM loophole. Simply because it goes against their objectives. It actively attacks them in fact. It was why Tory's were never seriously considering getting rid of IHT. Didn't achieve there objectives.
@rendale@brianstelter They dropped that years ago admitting they weren't. They don't shy away from admitting they are right wing now, haven't for a while.
@RadioFreeTom Losing a pet is friggin hard. I've lost friends, grandparents, parents, colleagues, but nothing stings as much as losing a pet and it's a different pain//loss. Yet after a bit, we gather back, get a new one to get the punch back again in another 10 years or so.
@MarcACaputo@michaelshure Not only that. But this economy after the deluge of pandemic funds and with AI on the horizon to change employment forever...this, right now, is probably the best the economy will ever be for a generation.
@NicolaShar51637 @TheRickWilson No. Even Harris wins, Democracy is on a clock. Roughly 45% of the country prefers facism (as long as it's their authoritarian pick). They will eventually win and it won't last long after that as once Authoritarian governments get hold, near impossible to remove short of a coup.
@p_alex15@Scaramucci Hit nail on head. How? The man is so manifestly unfit especially have been there before. Even if Ds win, the fact so many would vote for that is worrying and doesn't bode well for Democracy every where long term.
@IsmeWaldo@hugolowell Yeah, pretty shocking display. Really, only reasons a person who saw that would vote for him is either a) don't like women or b) don't like black people.
@DPJHodges My yank friends are pretty attuned and think the D's will win fairly comfortably in the end. Race ramps for real in Sept and the will just pound away at abortion and his age/dementia etc.
