I'm willing to bet Starmer's Labour will put forward the idea of workhouses for the poor before the next general election.

It'll be spun as "places for people to keep warm and keep busy" to start with, but you just watch.

The chorus from whom?

Telegraph and Spectator readers?

Who gives a flying fuck?

That explains why selling "sticking to your principles" and "tradition" go so easily for politicians.

Most people are thick as a pail of pigshit.

The Chinese government is an authoritarian shitshow. This is objective fact.

Before you even try it, don't "what about" and point to another authoritarian shithole like that makes China's continuing abuses ok. It's not, and there is no defending it. To attempt to do so is excusing it, and merely shows your ignorance and/or complicity.

Sky Daddy has nothing to do with any of this, and the sooner we all accept the fact that we are solely responsible for this shit show the better.

Well duh, Kent isn't as full of fucking poors like anywhere connected to the A1, which is still single fucking carriageway in places.

I had a thought the other day;

Rich people make an intelligent logic machine called "AI" and try to bend it to their will, but they feed it everything as training data. These proto AI are rapidly becoming "black boxes", and that's only to get worse.

Right wing ideas and politics are all based on provable lies and appealing to human greed and bigotry, the evidence for which is everywhere.

I really don't think these budding AIs are going to turn out how the rich intend.

The only thing the US exports is tax avoiding, minimum viable product supplying, data collection companies.

Not only does the rest of the world not need that shit, they're better off without it.

Fuck the US and everything it has come to stand for.

It's great news for agency workers pushed into these schemes unwittingly or otherwise.

I'm not seeing anything about closing the tax loopholes that matter the most though, the ones that allow Amazon et al to redirect profit to an offshore company and thus hide how much tax they owe.

In fact, Labour have mooted the idea of cutting the digital services tax designed to target these companies specifically. So yeah, not celebrating anything considering who they're shafting to fund the aforementioned.

How much would it have hurt Israel if the US govt. had shut down?
