What China's membership of the WTO and their affordable goods, due to vast economies of scale as well as cheap labour, was hiding:
Reagan's transfer of wealth from workers to the rich in huge tax cuts.
Scapegoating China for the elite's greed is gaslighting us.
"Look over there!"

@support.bsky.team Hi, I've submitted several appeals over months for you to remove the nudity label on my account but no response.
Sorry to disappoint but there is no nudity here.
Sexualising an Asian woman is one way to shut us up, I guess.

Oxtail stew: shoulda taken a pic when lid came off - glorious, puffy, irresistible dumplings.
No allspice berries but had everything else.
Half last night ...
Served on buttery mash.
About to do the soup thing with the rest.
Will do this again soon.
Thank you Chris & @catherinephipps.bsky.social

Submitting yet another appeal against the bizarre nudity label on my account.
This has been going on for months. Sexualising an Asian woman like this for so long might be considered dubious dodgy and a bit disgusting.

You seriously think the rich should keep hogging resources that would pay for it?

Women earn 80% of male wages, did most carer work, were hobbled in private pensions etc.
The whole premise of "equalisation" was a con that Labour should have rectified.
If any change, "equalise" to 60 & tax the growing wealth of the rich.

Weeks later, BlueSky still hasn't removed the nudity label from this account, and my numbers are acting weird.

For Dems wondering why millions fewer voted for Kamala, her boss just okayed WW3. The 2014 coup was his boss, Obama's.
FIRST Western bombing of Russia just started. Let's hope Putin has a cooler head as his response is entitled to be nuclear.
There was always Jill Stein or Cornel West.

Delighted to see so many are now aware Tim Dowling is an attention-seeking ass.
Symptomatic of the Guardian's ethics-free Covid agenda.
It's like watching another scene in the montage "Fall of the Empire".
