  For me, it’s not that the Tories are worse, but you expect it, yknow? In theory, Labour are supposed to stand up for us at least a little bit, so it’s something of a betrayal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Florida is a conservative Christian state"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely

  Global warming’ gave us that senator with the snowball

  In an ideal world we wouldn’t have to moderate accurate terms to prevent bad actors making dumb arguments

  But this is clearly not an ideal world

  Putting aside questions of ecosystems etc, I think the main reason is that we just can’t - ironic since we seem to be extint-ing all the other animals

  In South America they tried in the 50s and 60s, and more kept cropping up. They breed so quickly, if you miss an area they can just rebound. Then more can come in on ships and stuff

  So you couldn’t really localise it, it would have to be a huge global undertaking. And it would likely require widespread use of pesticides that are at best tricksy and at worst illegal, not to mention environmentally shitty

  I don’t know why you’re being down voted, he is literally a billionaire

  ‘No ethical billionaires’ apart from this guy apparently

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The boomer generation hit the economic jackpot. Young people will inherit their massive debts.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Regardless of the electoral politics, as Chris notes, the important challenge in social policy is helping people who won’t benefit from wealth transfers from wealthy relatives, rather than engaging in fantasies about “generational warfare”. What matters is not generations, but class.

  It’s just copypasta, yknow. It’s a meme

  In the UK you start school at 4

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scrapping inheritance tax would cost £15bn a year by 2032, says IFS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Cost’ is applicable, because this money is money that has factored into the budget and public soending every year. To make up for not having it, you would need to find or cut the same amount of money elsewhere.

  For what its worth, the reason that Tories want to cut this is because it disproportionately taxes the wealthy, and specifically generational wealth. Assets under £375,000 (iirc) are not taxed on inheritance

  Of course tax billionaires and business properly, but cutting inheritance tax will increase the wealth gap and cost the goverment money at a time when vital public services are still suffering from 13 ongoing years of austerity
