I've also seen a massive anti- #conservative pro- #labour movement on #socialmedia in the #uk https://www.lotuseaters.com/new-polling-.. People hate #taxes and seem to be under the impression that #kierstarmer can somehow make #debt go away and #money grow on trees...
Man I really want a #pine #pinennote https://tuxphones.com/pinenote-eink-linu.. It's a shame I've really got no #time or #money right now to work on such a device. I'm still holding out for a #pinecom #eink #wifi device that runs #linux - not something unlike a #pda ...
61% of #americans paid zero #federal #tax in 2020 - likely to be similar numbers for 2021 too: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/18/61percen.. Bare in mind they have also been printing #money this whole time... No wonder #biden had no choice but to pull out of #afghanistan - he's run out of money to operate out there. #globalrecession incoming!
Here is a sign that the #us and #west is in #decline https://www.fastcompany.com/90665399/mil.. Apparently an " #emergency #billionaire #tax " is being considered, because the #government are supposed to know how to spend their #money better than they do. Their only crime is earning money legally. It's not their fault that the #us government completely fucked up the #covid #pandemic response.
Seems like #china 's #ccp #regulation #crackdown is going to be expanded: https://www.bloombergquint.com/global-ec.. Not a great time for #investment in the #chinese #economy - when your #money could be wiped out by a mere sweep of the arbitrary wand.
Apparently one of the oldest #coinmints in the world has been discovered in #china https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/ol.. How is it that a Country that had one of the earliest forms of #money didn't continue to be a world #superpower ? It's amazing how #politics - specifically #geopolitics can change Countries so much. I wonder where we'll all be in just another 50 years... Hopefully a better place.
