if violence is never the answer then defund the military.

Remember fake log in pop up pages that were meant to steal your passwords? Well, get ready for the same thing asking for your ID and face picture! This "age verification" scam gives them the ability to do it.

Twitter has gotten so much worse because too many amazing trans people have been bullied off this platform by the constant amount of transphobia.. It’s insane how we’re being forced to create our own small spaces just to exist, while the worst people roam around freely

@llwtydeer @GrnCharlie refer to point 1. x.com/ImLunaHey/stat…

@ImLunaHey @GrnCharlie government is a complex process of building a system of incentives and disincentives in order to achieve the goals and refusing to work with the private sector because they are le bad has never led to long term solutions or long term growth

supporting a rent cap is a signifier that you are deeply stupid and should not be trusted with running the economy

@llwtydeer @GrnCharlie source: trust me bro

@ImLunaHey @GrnCharlie no it isnt

@llwtydeer @GrnCharlie yes it is..

@GrnCharlie you need both state and private development to deal with the housing crisis its not realistic to expect the full burden and cost of housebuilding to be supported by the taxpayer. the private sector isnt le greedy capitalists acting soely out of being pure evil

@llwtydeer @GrnCharlie lol that's not even slightly true. remind me how many houses are empty again?

@GrnCharlie beacuse thats not how supply and demand work. housing costs are high because of a lack of housing supply, and often rent caps just discourage the construction of new to let housing which can make the problem worse

hey @supabase @kiwicopple I think Tyler's account's been compromised

@llwtydeer @skylermzx wtf are you on about?

yet another account hacked to promote a crypto scam. 🙃

this is obviously a scam but there is a worse issue here the post shows the link is from supabase.com but the attacker used a service to masquerade the real domain on @X @nikitabier I feel like this shouldn't be allowed

@fjzeit they said they’d take us back if you wanted to rejoin.

joining the EU isn’t Britain’s choice, that decision belongs to the EU. putting it in an election manifesto is populist bullshit. besides, nobody in their right mind would want an open border with the UK now.

@Bristol_Matt05 @D_Raval @ZackPolanski 😂 no you wouldn’t as you don’t and won’t ever make enough to be effected by this.

@ImLunaHey @D_Raval @ZackPolanski I would 100%

Something genuinely different happened in British politics today. Zack Polanski gave his first major economic speech as Green Party leader and it wasn't the usual vague gestures you get from other party leaders. It was a diagnosis and a plan. The diagnosis: privatisation, austerity and Brexit haven't just been bad policy choices, they've locked Britain into a structural trap. A "bond market doom loop" where financial markets constrain every government before it's even started. The plan ("Zackonomics") is built around ending rip-off Britain for the people who actually keep this country running: → Freeze energy bills now (£8.4bn, funded by the windfall tax) → Cap rents → Nationalise water → Scrap Right to Buy → Forgive student debt → Rejoin the Customs Union and eventually the EU Funded by making wealth pay its share: a wealth tax, equalising capital gains with income tax, and closing the loopholes that let the richest opt out. Is every detail nailed down? No. But this is what it looks like when a party leader actually tries to match the scale of the problem. Britain's economic settlement is broken. Someone finally said it. #Zackonomics x.com/TheGreenParty/…

@Bristol_Matt05 @Extra_Ploofy @D_Raval @ZackPolanski if you need this explained to you then go back to school kid.

@ImLunaHey @Extra_Ploofy @D_Raval @ZackPolanski How so?

@blancmarc20 @D_Raval 😂 go back to school kid

@D_Raval lol nobody is going to pay a ‘wealth tax’, they’ll all bugger off & ordinary working people will pay for these silly student wish lists

@LiamSota @D_Raval 😂 no they don’t and no they weren’t

@D_Raval It was a load of bullshit mate. Wealth taxes lose money that’s why they were scrapped by European countries

@Dev1038896Dev @D_Raval they’re not leaving over a 1% increase 😂

@D_Raval Major flaw in the plan is when the wealthy take their wealth out of the country, probably not the financial genius you think he is

@123db_GEEK @D_Raval source: trust me bro

@D_Raval This is what happens when student politics is allowed to stand with the adults. All these ideas have been tried somewhere and failed perfectly, because they are stupid ideas. But students never understand that just because it's failed before always means it will fail next time!

@Bristol_Matt05 @Extra_Ploofy @D_Raval @ZackPolanski that’s not even slightly true.

Wow, a lot to unpack there. Take a deep breath. The housing shortages exists because the demand for housing is higher than the supply. Not enough homes are being built and the turbo is too slow. Rent capping may make it cheaper, but it disincentives more building. Hence the shortage

@Bristol_Matt05 @D_Raval @ZackPolanski 😂 the wealthy aren’t going to leave over a 1% increase bffr.

Mental, here’s why: - Freeze energy bill through windfall tax, creates massive barriers to entry and will have to push up costs (somewhere else) - cap rents: doesn’t work, creates housing shortages and poorer conditions. Wealth tax will make the most mobile group of the economy leave. Simple as that. Unless you become a dictator and confiscate, the tax revenue will plummet overall because not only will there be less wealth tax to collect, less wealthy people to tax elsewhere. Stupid economics. wackanomics

@ROSSTOTHEMOON @D_Raval what?

@D_Raval I’m wondering how a man of such clear economic illiteracy is able to get to a position to influence people. It’s dangerous. He then throws around things like “rejoin the EU” which will make people take notice as they have been told to blame everything on Brexit
