@MardukBabylon7 @BenGrahamUK … then they bemoan wealth inequality whilst inflating assets (benefitting the rich) and good and services (impacting the poor). By the very system they are advocating for. Then to solve it, just blame the rich. Insanity (or ignorance).

Anubis@MardukBabylon7·1h

@RobPalmski @BenGrahamUK We have had rampant inflation since then from food to assets, but they just say it’s “supply side”

Ben Graham@BenGrahamUK·17h

Something has gone fundamentally wrong with the UK’s economic model. The government is extracting record levels from working people, yet even that isn’t enough to cover the scale of welfare spending. £333 billion going out. £331 billion coming in from income tax. That gap tells a bigger story, the burden on workers keeps rising, while the number of dependants on the system continues to grow. At some point, that equation will stop working.

@MardukBabylon7 @BenGrahamUK “Sustained Economic Growth”… what’s that!? Since COVID… Broad money (M4) up 25–30% Real GDP up 2–3% (per capita 0%) And the MMT nuts want MORE money printing…

English

Anubis@MardukBabylon7·1h

@RobPalmski @BenGrahamUK If Greens get in that process will be a lot faster as they have been captured by MMT nutters I agree though that will happen eventually unless we get a sustained period of high economic growth

Rob@RobPalmski·2h

@MardukBabylon7 @BenGrahamUK Yea. My point is that I don’t think it’ll be slow creep inflation… I think the refinancing will end with a currency collapse as we can’t pay our debt interest.

Anubis@MardukBabylon7·2h

@RobPalmski @BenGrahamUK Print money to pay for it Inflation

Rob@RobPalmski·2h

@MardukBabylon7 @BenGrahamUK I worry about the debt refinancing from the low rates of the 2010s…

English

Anubis@MardukBabylon7·16h

@BenGrahamUK It can keep going for a while yet they will just print money and we get slow creep inflation

@puff449935 @Undoomed I’ve worked in agriculture across N America, the UK and East Africa - the same soil sample results generally - high pH, low microbial activity. Worth a read up on MMT It’s a description of how money flows in an economy which controls its own currency.

English

MrPuff@puff449935·16h

@RobPalmski @Undoomed I could be convinced on soil health, in the short term especially. What's the evidence? Also not super well read in economics, what is MMT?

For fuck’s sake. Every time I argue with a leftist they block me. What’s even the point of social media if you’re just going to block all opposing views? Remember the “social” part of social media, socialists. Fucking cowards.

@puff449935 @Undoomed Fair response - I suggested that soil health is more significant than climate variability and it’s an easier to win, one of mitigation. My second tweet was that government has proven it’s not productive, so MMT isn’t realistic policy: Broad money (M4) up 25–30% Real GDP up 2–3%

English

MrPuff@puff449935·17h

@RobPalmski @Undoomed Fair enough, it was hard to gather the full context just from the four tweets. What were the points you were making? I could definitely be wrong

@AndrewNotts_SDP @WilliamClouston @SDPhq A superb politician. Doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

English

Andrew Leatherland@AndrewNotts_SDP·1d

If you were to meet @WilliamClouston you would want him and his @sdphq party in Westminster and in council seats throughout the land. You would want to see him on national TV and hear his plan on turning Britain around. You would soon conclude he’s the change Britain needs.

@puff449935 @Undoomed Literally didn’t say either of those things. This is exactly the problem. Read the words, not your twisted interpretation of the words.

English

MrPuff@puff449935·22h

@RobPalmski @Undoomed If we're trying to say climate change or net zero is a scam, or that inflation wasn't primarily driven by COVID 2021-2024 then you're just wrong

English

Rob@RobPalmski·1d

@ClarksonsFarm1 Why is it whenever you offer an alternative view, they block. it’s becoming a running theme. How about we focus on uncontested soil health mitigations instead of controversial “climate change”, then farming wins. Rather than wasting effort arguing.

@renewablesmiffy I didn’t say that. I refute your claim it’s “the most significant threat”. Seasonal change and rainfall variability are of course issues, but not the most significant. Why don’t you read what I’m saying instead of just attacking for your own ideological reasons.

English

Chris Smith@renewablesmiffy·1d

@RobPalmski You deny climate change affects on farming and tell me to “focus” Bless

English

Chris Smith@renewablesmiffy·1d

The single most significant threat to global farming today is climate change, because it acts as a threat multiplier that worsens nearly every other risk agriculture faces. - Temperature shifts - Erratic rainfall -extreme weather - water scarcity

@renewablesmiffy I don’t see any evidence of it so far. I’ve worked in agriculture the UK, North America and East Africa. The consistent threat is soil health… if we agreed on these mitigations, instead of debating polarising climate stuff, we might get somewhere. Focus.

Chris Smith@renewablesmiffy·1d

@RobPalmski It’s one tweet Rob that you know it’s factual

@jzrdan They are all in on MMT… without thinking through the consequences.

English

Jordan@jzrdan·2d

Yes, let’s all vote for a party that have never been in charge of the countries finances and seem to think they have an unlimited budget… Common theme with Green voters, they all want everything handed to them on a plate.

BladeoftheSun@BladeoftheS

The Green Party is the only major Party in England actually offering anything. All the other parties just say 'There's no money'. Don't vote for that shit.

@Marduk_Jupiter @malcolm_reavell He hasn’t got a proposition - the constraints of reality bite. Broad money (M4) up 25–30% Real GDP up only 2–3% (per capita ~0%) since COVID. His answer… MORE money.

English

Anubis@MardukBabylon7·2d

@malcolm_reavell @RobPalmski How do you propose the government does that?

English

Malcolm Reavell @auchentrachle.bsky.social@malcolm_reavell·2d

Irrelevant. Private pensions aren’t needed when you have a currency issuing govt that can afford to pay a state pension at a living wage. Govt’s job is to ensure the economy can provide the stuff that pension can purchase. Investment in environment etc is irrelevant altogether.

Katie Lam@Katie_Lam_MP

When you set aside money for retirement, you might expect that it will be invested in a way that will generate the most money for you. But thanks to environmental and diversity rules, you could end up with nearly £200,000 less by the time that you retire. It’s totally absurd.

@malcolm_reavell @Marduk_Jupiter The central principle of MMT is that policy should focus on productive capacity and resource allocation - my evidenced point is that government is poor at both of these. Why? Because they are ideological and don’t view productivity objectively. You’re reading the wrong stuff.

English

Malcolm Reavell @auchentrachle.bsky.social@malcolm_reavell·2d

@RobPalmski @Marduk_Jupiter No idea where you get that from. No MMTr I’ve ever read or listened to has ever suggested anything like what you’re suggesting. You’ve done what all critics do and built a straw man MMT to attack. You’re talking nonsense.

English

Rob@RobPalmski·2d

@Marduk_Jupiter @malcolm_reavell It’s the core flaw in all this dreamland MMT, it assumes the government is productive and efficient enough to create enough stuff to absorb all this extra money… which, historically, they are terrible at

English

Anubis@MardukBabylon7·2d

@malcolm_reavell “Gov job is to ensure the economy can provide the stuff that pension.m can purchase” When has centrally planned economies ever worked? Are you advocating for us to be like North Korea?

English

Rob@RobPalmski·2d

@implausibleblog @ZackPolanski Yay. More government. The state is so productive, let’s have more of it.

Farrukh@implausibleblog·2d

Solid from Zack Polanski Rejects the idea of pitting pensioners against students Says the real divide is between the 99% and the 1% And that we should tax the rich more

@PeterMcCormack @jimthegiant UK since Covid: Broad money (M4) ↑ ~25–30% Real GDP ↑ ~2–3% (per capita ~0%) That gap = inflation.

English

Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪@PeterMcCormack·3d

@jimthegiant He is right. You are identifying the wrong enemy, it isn't wealth creation or distribution, it is inflation. Please study inflation.

Genuine question, how do people STILL believe this shit? The world has more wealth than ever, Elon is almost a trillionaire. We have more billionaires than ever. How much MORE wealth do we need before normal people can afford the basics?

Dave Hawkins@DaveHawkinsX

@davidsenra @tobi Every time I listen to Bernie Sanders, I think of the pie. He is worried about slicing the pie and distributing the crumbs to everyone. I always ask, why not just bake 10 more pies? Abundance means not having to slice the pie, but instead, share or give away what you can’t eat.
