Normally I’d be skeptical of a party like this having a chance, but those sign-up figures are insane, 650 k is huge! The last published Labour membership figures were about one third of that.

Outsider parties have the power to mobilize inactive voters and move the overton window even if they don’t end up winning. If you care about this sort of thing now is the time to promote it and sign up and donate. Elections are mass psychology, if you’re always going with the flow you don’t get to change anything.

Some people who don’t know any better would say that poor Jeff innovated the world into a better place by inventing Amazon, that he’s being justly rewarded by the free market.

But Amazon became so successful because it killed off all of it’s competitors - not through a better service, but using investor capital to artifically lower it’s prices, systematically targeting it’s rivals and taking them over.

Amazon is so profitable because it has killed the market and replaced it with itself, and the tech giants and uber and so on are doing exactly the same thing.

So turn it into a co-op, let it’s workers decide if they can piss on the clock or not. Give it’s sellers a say in whether they want to pay 40% markup and hidden fees to get pushed to the top of front page. Amazon abuses workers, businesses and the market - this is a great solution to a problem that everyone ought to have, regardless of politics.

how to save money and win elections with this 1 easy trick billionoids don’t want you to know about

Nationalising water is free - you just go ‘no it’s mine now’.

The British empire used to be the world champions of stealing other people’s land and now you’re telling me we have to spend 100 billion buying back our own fucking water supply? From some dick heads who’ve done nothing but dump shit into it constantly while fleecing everyone? It’s an absolutely appropriate response to willful abuse of our national infrastructure. No wonder this parasite industry spends YOUR money to bribe spineless or idiotic politicians like Reed to protect their racket while the British public gets fucked.

If we just seized these assets back, they would be getting off LIGHTLY for what they have done. It barely goes far enough, they ought to be locked up for this behavior.

Bill Burr is great and I don’t think I’ve ever met a guy who didn’t like him. Good politics too, and says them like a normal fucking person who can make a case without being annoying.

Not only is the ruling wrong - it is the very thing it claims to be opposing. It is itself an act of terrorism, carried out with the intention of inspiring fear in the British public to further a political agenda.

In every way, the British government is replicating the actions it accuses PA of - except that the scale of harm to British society and the terror inspired is magnitudes greater, and performed in service of the opposite political goal.

This is a terror attack by the government against the British people.

The British people’s opinion and will are the thing from which the goverment gains it’s only source of legitimacy - and they do not line up with the government on this issue.

But evidently the government believes in a different model of legitimacy: they believe that legitimacy is derived from the mere fact that they hold power. In the mind of the government and it’s supporters, the difference between a terrorist organisation and a legitimate government is just power and only power. To them, right and wrong has absolutely nothing to do with it. They think that they are winning, and that they are going to get away with it. Nothing else matters.

Don’t disagree but in China you can get a new EV for less than 10k AND get the train.

Nice. A flase dichotomy so the right can cut EV subsidies as well as not spending on public transport.

Very cool

The rich DO love slurping up all of our money and then living somewhere else where they don’t have to pay any tax.

we need to give more money to more companies named after evil objects from LOTR

By 2027? Why not now? These things have never been cheaper. Mandate batteries as well, LiFePo is cheap as hell and it would save so much money it’s stupid not to.

The downside is that when they have too much they turn it off. This is a wonderful problem to have. Your own damn article said it encouraged them to go harder ramping up the storage. It’s more cost effective when there’s more storage on the grid. Totally insignificant non problem, meanwhile the earth is on fire.

People who take this advice are going to be disappointed when Tesla gets outcompeted by every other EV company and it drops to zero. It’s just like the trump shitcoins. Just scamming their base at every turn because they’ve gotten used to lying about everything without consequences.

this whole gambit was actually a 4d chess move by elon to brainwash righties into buying EVs therefore solving climate change and bringing about global communism. I never should have doubted you, sir

This is undoubtably due to the nefarious scheming of Big Gay.

Solid theory. The right does love to trawl through history looking for failed authoritarian regimes to soy over.

Love Gary’s Rhetoric on economics, real down to earth stuff. Don’t know anyone who gets the point across as well as he does. Would love to see more lefties adopting these kinds of talking points and this direct style of communication.
