@vibeteknologist @K_Niemietz Ye cuz decades of privatisation, austerity, and war has been working out so well.

@IonicFuser @K_Niemietz Incredible self awareness there big boss. All the best and can’t wait for you to get the government you want. Let’s see how it goes

"the 6th wealthiest country in the world". He said it again.

@vibeteknologist @K_Niemietz Looks like i touched a nerve. Maybe you'll finally leave me alone. If you want to debate, contact No Justice Mtg. I'm sure she won't make you look like a complete tool to the system.

@IonicFuser @K_Niemietz And you still haven’t answered the question, so jog off with your insults. Swear even a 10 yo could do better.

@vibeteknologist @K_Niemietz Stay in your little bubble. We'll take over with or without your help. XD

@IonicFuser @K_Niemietz

@MCFvalidator @K_Niemietz Not when the country doesn't give a fuck about their citizens in poverty and just let them die. They don't count them, why should we?

@IonicFuser @K_Niemietz This doesn’t measure wealth. Most people in India or China are poor, there are just a lot of them. GDP per capita is what you should be looking at for wealth. The UK is #30

@vibeteknologist @K_Niemietz Its not an ad hom, because im not using it as an answer to your question numb nuts. Its called an insult. Which is not an ad hominem. You messaged me 5 times before I responded, I think you need to touch grass pal. (And get hair plugs)

@IonicFuser @K_Niemietz lmao, not just an an angry innumerate chap, but also going for ad hominem too. God bless you, mate, seek help!

@vibeteknologist @K_Niemietz The gloablist elite capitalist system works as intended. They've brainwashed you into praying to the stock market and see numbers go up when in reality, more people are suffering day by day. The Greens will change that system to work for the many, not the few.

@IonicFuser @K_Niemietz Well, funny you should use that expression when you seem to have the numeracy of a Labrador mate. Maybe stop being angry and focus on getting smarter!

@HyboreanCat @llwtydeer We won't need to pay as much in benefits if those already in work no longer need to be funded. Supermarkets should have the responsibility to pay their staff a living wage. So actually, tax go up mate.

@IonicFuser @llwtydeer Oh I see. So in the even that everyone's wages are increased in order to meet Green's ratio, the supermarket just goes bust and everyone loses out The alternative being that the higher paid staff are paid less, resulting in a lower tax take and less money in people's pockets

this man is genuinely the dumbest man in british politics. you redistribute through taxes not pay caps

@K_Niemietz @vibeteknologist No i mean this man suffers from Trichotillomania looking at his balding scalp. Hes obsessed. Won't stop messaging me whilst I am busy at work.

@IonicFuser @vibeteknologist Do you mean "splitting hairs"?

@vibeteknologist @K_Niemietz You're barking at air. Lol

@IonicFuser @K_Niemietz Must be sth in the Avon that just kills off numeracy and makes people vote green, smh

@DeborahMeaden There campaign adverse are literally calling for hope not hate. You must have missed that one. Continue to bat for a fascist party that protects your business interests however despite them backing genocides.

I would live to hear what these people are “for” because all I hear is what they are against, what they will undo/break… no hope, vision, talk of cohesion or making Society better… just fear, scaremongering and “ othering”

@CharlesOJ Its relevant to the economy so shut it moron

@IonicFuser Both wealth and income are important for loan rates (amongst other things). Either way, the chart you posted shows GDP. Not wealth, as you thought it did. So wrong chart. Delete.

@CraftsmanBob @K_Niemietz Extreme poverty and wealth can exist at the same time y'know.

@IonicFuser @K_Niemietz So india is a wealthy country?

@HyboreanCat @llwtydeer Prices are set by retail category managers, pricing analysts and buying teams which are influenced by stakeholders. So as much as you'd love to here me say price goes up, it isn't as simple as that. We can also put rules and regulations to control food prices and other essentials

@IonicFuser @llwtydeer Nowhere does your response actually answer the question

@HyboreanCat @llwtydeer My answer was clear. CEO's need a paycut not nurses/doctors/teachers/care workers etc. Lowering their wage and raising the lowest wage to match the 10:1 ratio isn't difficult for the majority of the staff at any business, especially supermarkets. Maybe the staff should have a say

@IonicFuser @llwtydeer Okay Can you actually just answer the question

@hector_drummond @aswren You have no idea what the greens plans are according to your list of uniformed speculation.

1) That still doesn't make it necessary. Do you even understand what "necessary" means? Maybe go look it up. 2) Even in those situations where your GDP is increased by infrastructure spending, whether increasing the debt was a good idea depends on how much you increased the debt relative to how much your GDP increased. A large increase in GDP relative to a small increase in debt is fine. The opposite is not. You don't want your repayments being more than the increase in GDP, for example. And we got the opposite. 3) Not much of the spending in recent decades has been on infrastructure. In fact, some of our financial problems comes from the fact that we have to spend so much money on servicing the existing debt. Just the interest alone is a killer. 4) The Green spending splurge will mostly not be on infrastructure. 5) Your framing is dishonest. Greens want to increase ideological spending, but then pretend it's just about infrastructure spending when challenged by someone who doesn't share their ideology. 6) You're sidetracking. The fact remains that we are massively in debt, and are not rich.

The 6th wealthiest country in the world can of course afford more welfare We’re the 7th richest country in the world, of course we can raise taxes even further As the 8th richest country in the world…

@CharlesOJ Right, and what allows you to pay back debts quicker making you a more reliable and viable country to loan to at lower rates?

@IonicFuser This is a chart of GDP. Not wealth. One is a flow (annual increase in value created) the other is a stock (total wealth) So wrong chart.

@vibeteknologist @K_Niemietz Pulling hairs

@IonicFuser @K_Niemietz Says largest, wee Darrel reads richest. Mate, happy to help here, just say the words.

@G1224557 @K_Niemietz Educate yourself in not your teacher.

@IonicFuser @K_Niemietz Thanks, please explain how GDP makes us wealthy?

@hector_drummond @aswren Except if the debt was used for infrastructure that increases our GDP, we can pay it off quicker than we could before. See how that works? Debt is necessary.

If a country can't pay its debt back it goes bankrupt regardless of what it is for. Government debt is neither inevitable or necessary. Some amount is manageable, though. But when it's almost 100% of GDP you're in big trouble, and need to get it down. Pretending you're rich and should increase your debt is mad. God help us if you lot ever get into power.

@hector_drummond @aswren Every Nation has debt, but it depends what the debt is for. Maybe look into that. A country's budget is not the same as a household. Debt is inevitable and necessary for a functioning economy dummy.

@IonicFuser @aswren That page doesn't take into account debt. You can have a massive business with a huge turnover, but if you have a huge debt and have run big losses every year for decades you're not rich.
