Business is incentivised by profit. Make sure those on the lowest incomes have some to spend at the end of the week. Businesses will supply the stuff to spend on. It really is that simple in a market driven economy lke ours.

Question: how
can business be incentivised and public services maintained?

The Conservatives are now a far-right party.

It will be tempting to engage with this policy on practicalities: Windrush times a hundred.

Don't. Engage on the reprehensible ethics of wanting to deport people who've lived lawful, blameless lives just because they're poor (and mostly not white).

Via @sundersays.bsky.social the Conservatives' draft legislation - absolutely clear that it applies to (and is intended to apply to) legal permanent residents claiming state pension (on the basis of their contributions) or child benefit for British kids.

The idea of deporting anyone is rather horrifying.

Surely the death knell for the Tory Party.

Sickening stuff. What would the country be like afterwards? Dreadful to live in. Broken families. Insufficient workforce/
More could perhaps be done about people who have no legal right to remain.

Sending troops to San Francisco? Do it and we’ll sue.

Q: Are you going to send federal troops and the National Guard to San Francisco?

Trump: "We're going to go to San Francisco...We're going to go to San Francisco and we're going to make it great...Don't forget, I can use the Insurrection Act."

This year, 77% of the ACA Marketplace enrollees live in states Trump won in the 2024. Americans should be able to get the healthcare they need w/o going bankrupt, but he would rather pay for a $250M ball room or pay Argentina $40B than subsidize health ins for Americans. #TrumpHatesOurHealthCare

Unable to refine its own oil due to relentless Ukrainian strikes, Russia is now flooding the world with cheap oil to raise cash.

If Ukraine's allies were to get serious about blocking Russia's shadow tanker fleet, it could be the end for Putin's regime.
