Fixing inequality means more money for people to consume the goods and services produced by the economy, which means more economic activity and a bigger economy.

To grow the economy, one must reduce inequality.

Taxing Wealth, Not Work will not destroy the economy but is how to save it!

Lots of volume, sweet, cheap and a treat

It's less calories than ice cream.

Buying cheap electricity to heat up a concrete thermal battery, decarbonises medium heat industry and is cheaper than gas.

Made in Europe.

No rare earths or lithium needed.

Forbes thinks that a trade deficit is a meaningless metric.

​

Trade Wars are Class Wars believes running a trade surplus means crushing domestic consumption, which means lower living standards.

​

Should trade deficits even be a concern, or should governments focus on improving international competitiveness, supply side interventions and fostering innovation?

India and other developing nations are planning to increase the use of biofuels for vehicles, such as more ethanol in petrol or biodiesel in diesel.

​

This is to reduce how much foreign currency is used to buy oil and fuels. This is to defend the currency to control inflation.

​

But this sounds absurd.

​

Biofuel crops require petroleum inputs.

​

Biofuel is more expensive than oil fuels. So fuel will be more expensive but at least the currency isn't leaving?

​

Horray, I guess....

​

Why not sell the crops internationally for foreign currency to buy the oil?

​

Surely, higher interest rates would be a better defence of currency depreciation?

​

is this just political theatre/actually a farmer subsidy?

​

​

Also, Biofuels harvest less than 0.1% of sunlight.

Solar panels are 20% efficient at least, and can be harvested everyday? Pair it with an electric scooter?

Why not provide 0% loans for electric vehicles and solar panels instead of biofuels?

​

Idk, it seems obviously the most idiotic policy solution for current year.

A woman my friend was protesting the US government that was occupying my country.

She had grown tired of it all and wanted to return to something simple.

She didn't tell anyone can uploaded? Herself, or Became? A vending machine and asked me to look after the vending machine, ergo her, and tell people what had happened and why she did it.

Woke up thinking it was similar to the plot of Zema Blue

From the guardian about Reform's funding:

Harborne, a crypto and aviation fuel investor who is based in Thailand, has given £15m to Reform and £5m to Farage personally – a gift now under investigation. He recently estimated his wealth at about £18bn, meaning his donations to Reform are about 0.08% of his wealth.

Delo, who has been based in Hong Kong, is also in the crypto world, and became the UK’s youngest self-made billionaire in 2018 after making his fortune by co-founding the BitMEX trading platform. He received a pardon from Donald Trump last year after being convicted in the US in 2022 for failing to implement adequate anti-money-laundering controls in his cryptocurrency business.

Why are they funding reform?

Total deregulation of crypto, know your customer and defanging the serious fraud office.

The UK will become a racist money laundry.

I don't think Reform's donors really care about immigration. It's a useful distraction for voters while they get what they really want. Complete financial fraud deregulation.
