Three-tier Britain
Live a life of relatively luxury for free, or be wealthy enough that none of this really concerns you.
The rest of us live somewhere in the middle, pay for everything and get fleeced by the state everyday.

@GhostOutDaShell @DivineOdiaka @christina_ivey Just so we set a floor here £250 on groceries a month isn't a lot.
Also yes it's extremely excessive on buying clothes constantly. But also women are like 70% of all consumer spending and if women didn't waste money we will be in an economic crisis. Not even sexist.
English
@DivineOdiaka @christina_ivey Enjoying and greed are 2 different things. She can't afford the lifestyle she wants. She don't need to spend 3 bills a month on clothes and a few other things when she's complaining about the costs. If she's complaining then she can't afford to do it basically.

@_tokuninai Like a month ago Indians tried to claim that Europeans and Americans are eating cow shit and shitting in the streets, now that it did not work they're trying to lie about the Chinese?? What's wrong with them. One pinky finger of a Chinaman is worth 10000 Indians.

Una psyop india que está circulando por mi TL estos días es la de intentar vender que China tiene un sistema de castas.
No sé de dónde ha salido de repente, ha ido de 0 a 100 en prácticamente un día.

In China, people from different castes are often stereotyped as looking different. Shi people are considered the most attractive because they come from the highest caste. Nong people are generally seen as fairly attractive, while Gong people are viewed as average-looking. Shang and Jianmin are often stereotyped as being the least attractive.

The only people who are comfortable defending it have to be themselves living in social housing. There is no way a single individual living outside of London earning an average wage of some £2500 post tax and spending half of it on rent and taxes would ever feel that major subsidies in Zone 1 and 2 in London are actually "cute" and "totally valid" because Somalians living there are just making it so "diverse" and "culturally rich".
English
Social Historian of Housing tells you to react to the existence of seven-bedroom council houses in central London, with effective subsidies of ~£60,000 annually disbursed to their occupants, with an "Aww, isn't that lovely?"
Municipal Dreams@MunicipalDreams
'X' has just discovered that there is some social rent housing in the 'nice', wealthier parts of central London. (I won't respond to or amplify those tweets.) Rather than celebrating London's social diversity, it seems to believe that poorer citizens should live in ghettos.

@jt0hny I have no idea what half of you morons are raving about. Both of them are absolutely average and in no way "lookers". Women claiming otherwise are unironically more porn brained then men.

@infraa_ Want to see this in another 5 years, wonder if it will be just a straight line up. No way the US isn't printing heaps of greenbacks soon, with all the mystery debt around. Then another nice print when social security is going to get cut in 2030ish.
Love it when line go up.

It’s actually pretty insane how far the CPI index has diverged from its 40yr+ trend
The total price level is the only thing that matters is to Americans
And it’s absolutely vertical

@akenohq @Arbether @ChibiReviews The time has passed and there's just no interest in anything Indian anymore. The Japanese should make more anime about ancient Greece though, that always slaps.
English
Vinland Saga, Fate/Stay Night (Arthurian legend), Gankutsuou (Count of Monte Cristo), Heidi, Anne of Green Gables all made because Japanese studios chose to adapt Western stories. The Indian-origin CEO is suggesting the exact same thing with Indian epics. Japanese creators can still decide

Are you like actually stupid? No country in subcontinent can get oil below 130 dollars. Paper market and spot market are different. When you google "oil prices" it shows you the "expected" price in a couple of months. If you want oil right now - the refinery will not sell you it bellow anything that is 130-140 if you're lucky.
English
This is moronic. India has excess refining capacity and can buy oil for $85... Something very odd going on where countries are opting to have shortages rather than buy cargoes at the average price from the last 20 years.

Bob, I follow you on here an on youtube, but I can tell you this without a shred of a doubt - You are believing your lying eyes. The tanks are full, actually they have never been fuller. Three months in reserves? More like golden age soon. It's just the fart of the deal. Stop being a pelicanician!

Wow, those tanks sure look low

Fable NPC system is so sophisticated the devs are calling it a "life simulator" You build reputation through your actions in the game, then each NPC has a different opinion of you based on your reputation. You might have to become a rich business owner to impress and date one of the NPCs in the game, but another NPC will hate you for being so rich. As a consequence, that NPC could increase the prices on their merchandise when you visit their store. Even small actions such as giving money to the homeless or evicting people out of their houses will impact your reputation, and this can be done at a very large scale, because you could: - Buy every home in the world of Fable - Evict everyone out of their homes - Have every NPC now live on the street Possibilities are quite literally endless here

@TheIntelFrog @infraa_ You forgot the key issue of Israel stopping its attack on Lebanon, which Israel will graciously honour for about a couple of hours. Then more strikes to follow more peace deals.
English
This is at least the second time that an impending attack on Iran has been canceled at the last second because of an impending agreement on a framework to continue discussions for a potential memorandum of understanding that will lay the ground work for the basis for the parties to meet and continue discussions that could lead to a lasting peace.

Supermarket profit margins are razor thin, in range of 2-3%. This is not a new topic nor some novel information, and if they sold it without a profit the bread would cost you 98p.
If anything this sandwich shop is lining their pockets by buying the cheapo stuff and marking it up the bread by, I assure you, more than 2-3%.
English
@RightNUFC @AldiUK How about supporting a local bakery and buying from them instead of lining the pockets of CEOs.
English
.@AldiUK We have been buying your bread every day for our business for years now, we have always had compliments how tasty & soft it is. Lately for the past 2 weeks we have found when using it that it is already half stale and the quality just isn’t there.
Have you changed supplier?
Have you changed the ingredients?
Even the customers have noticed the decline in quality.
I would appreciate if someone could get back to me regarding this.
Thanks.
Pictures below are 2 loafs that were bought this morning and are of the same declining quality.

Are you mentally unwell? Even ExxonMobil CEO has admitted that we are slowly running out of fuel reserves, and that will reflect on oil prices badly. Just because the paper market is trading in whatever clown world they live in, the spot market tells a different story. If anything PPI will balloon in the following months, passing it on to CPI by mid autumn.
English
may captured peak iran war oil prices, the war has since ended, oil fell below $87 in early june, june CPI should show energy disinflation rolling through
core at 2.9% is the more interesting number, core strips out energy and food, that's still above target and not directly affected by the oil reversal, the sticky part of inflation lives in services (housing, healthcare, insurance) where the fed has less direct influence
English
BREAKING: May CPI inflation rises to 4.2%, the highest level since April 2023.
Core CPI inflation also rises to 2.9%, the highest since September 2025.
Inflation in the US is officially back above 4% and more than double the Fed's target.
Odds of Fed rate hikes are rising.

@McdowallRose @PaulEmbery Tories were centre left. Or do you mean anything right of Gay Race Communism is considered "ultra right"?

After spending years looking at every aspect of our national life through a “racialised lens”, radical left activists now express surprise that others have started to do the same.
Ash Sarkar@AyoCaesar
Crime is now being viewed through an entirely racialised lens – but only when the perpetrators aren't white. When Chas Corrigan stabbed a Saudi student to death, or Paul Doyle mowed down Liverpool fans, white people didn't have to fear being a target of collective retaliation.
