All those unhappy military leaders at the pep talk recently…

Only the beginning.

When Digital IDs arrive, it will be a very large step toward total control by those in powerful positions who want it.

Too many people go into politics for control. Not to be the public servants they should. That’s the issue everywhere.

Vote in a true person for the people, and things will change.

However the media is controlled by those with personal interests and people believe what they hear without thinking.

It’s really not rocket science. It all depends on the government of the time making rents fairer and taxes of the uber wealthy a small percentage higher. Suddenly it would come together.

The real problem seems to be that most every politician is compromised and in that way tip toe around the issue.

But landlords are necessary whoever the landlord is. They’re only an entity that owns a property that people can rent. They’re not necessarily the anti christ. 😎

And yes it should be a human right to have a roof over one’s head and food to eat.

Well that’s an issue of course and it shouldn’t be that way in society. But the problem needs to be addressed properly and no party is doing that. There’s no detail there. There are other ways for the problem to be dealt with. I don’t think this is the right way to address the issue.

Many people still like sugar. Though some prefer honey.

Number 5 sounds right. Governments need to build more affordable housing.

I would think The rest would bring more complications for many. Landlords and renters. Effectively stopping anyone owning a 2nd home for any legitimate reason.

Sounds more like an authoritarian proposal than a Green Party.

I think any country who attends these sports events will sit on the wrong side of history.

The lessons should have been learnt in 1936 with what that brought on.

The US bullying has already begun, and I’m sure FIFA are too weak and corrupt to stand up to it.

And yet here we are.

A government that refuses to even think about rejoining the EU.

They’d rather tax lower income and middle class. Leaving the ones who engineered Brexit, smiling happily.

Boycotting corporations like this is the quickest way to force change.

Money is their only consideration.

There are also many other gyms.

The only country that now seems reasonable in its fight against big oil and authoritarianism is Columbia. Gustavo Petro.

Vastly lessen meat consumption. That would help.

Can’t be any dumber.

Governments would prefer to pacify big oil than save the planet.

Jail ‘just stop oil’ protesters than join them.

Things can only get worse…
