    I see that the Technocratic Excuse Factories Funded By The Ultra-Rich have already started preparing the riff-raff for another round of Bailouts Of The Rich and Austerity For The Rest.

    Yes, yes, it’s “people” that are going to suffer and the “average” household that will have to endure a fall in income.

    “There’s nothing we could have done about it”

    “There are no other ways of tackling the problem other than suffering for the masses”

    " We - *wink* *wink* - are all in this together".

    Or we could just seize our stolen wealth back from billionaires.

    There is literally zero reason we need to let them keep it, all these articles about how bad it will be is just to distract us from why no one else has resources.

    Fuck stockpiling baked beans, start raid mansions.

      Remember that 99 percent of us have never actually driven past a .01 percenter’s mansion. In fact they don’t even live in cities for the most part.

    … set to fall for us pee-ons who can’t or won’t be able to afford anything

    As usual, our rich and wealthy overlords will live in luxury while complaining about how they lost 5% of their billions of dollars of wealth.

    This headline implies that living standards haven’t already been falling for years now.

    Also, is anyone else tired of having their worst feelings and anxieties be confirmed through news headlines?

    Unless Labour actually does democratic socialism, this is a guarantee for a Reform dictatorship.
