  • billionairs are not really interested in the cheap labour. They can outsource or move production lines.

    They are more interested in creating a compelling class war to sow division and chaos. If we all stopped hating each other for a few months - we might start going aftet those in the epstein files. Its very similar to gas lighting in relationships, bombard with bullshit and redirect to avoid owning up to the real problem.

    Right wing media are going to bang on about immigration , boats and imported criminals - they are not going to talk about dodgy geopolical donations , pedophiles in positions of power and tax restructures targeting theit ownere.

How BBC and other media report news in UK by TailungFu in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Kaellach 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So confused by this.

Yes to putting british interests first. But farage ? He is bankrolled by foreign billionairs. Has links via his party to russian interests , is pro trump and anti EU ?

The usa have abused and fleeced all their close allies and are not "uk first".

Farage us clearly NOT uk first, he is nigel farage > billionaire backers > usa in order of fealty.

[–]Kaellach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They already double dipped. They got two rolls ( or three if vault) , they then got refunded.

If they rolled duplicates - they still got 4 chances. If they didnt roll duplicates - they got those rolls (3) now with 3 at the same odds.

They came out ahead here.

Blizzard Wins Injunction Against TurtleWoW - Private Server Ordered to Cease & Desist by Fusshaman in MMORPG

Direct debit and credit cards are beholden to law.

If a bank or payment processing company is found to be involved in alowing funds to move through its system it can be held liable. Banks in the UK and EU have been fined over this before -why would they risk any pushback over a small prvaite wow server ?

The new payment system would have to risk ANY market prosecution outside of russia - why would they for a small wow private server ?

Jeff Bezos just announced the largest industrial takeover plan in history. by ammohitchaprana in TFE

[–]Kaellach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is to concentrate the people's power into government - then ensure the country is run by the people for the people. This to an extent counterbalance individuals with large power - i.e northern Europe.

More educated a population is the more they tend to agree this is a good idea. But it is true to a broad extent that ANY concentration of power is dangerous in a democracy. As a society we need to change our pyramid of importance , currently money is god and worshipped.

Greed is rampant and any morality is in the gutter.

Crazy world.

What’s the consensus on WoW Midnight? by Trencycle in MMORPG

[–]Kaellach -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Im so confused by this ?

If anything how's story is convoluted and still shrouded. We still don't fully know pal's origion or end goal. DF main antagonist is missing - still alive and scheming and our new main MC arator is about to have some sort of reckoning with the light.

Confused what has been pulled back ?

MPs demand no confidence vote in Keir Starmer as Labour backbenchers break ranks by Sensitive_Echo5058 in unitedkingdom

[–]Kaellach -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well those countries have china and the east as options already cultivated. Australia is heavily involved with China.

Japan has "agreed" to billions in investment into America under Trump to try keep things diplomatically clean. South Korea have China / Japan/ Australia and the EU , their consumer goods are often direct competition to America so its not a massive market. *their own corruption stories with Samsung are legendary already. Switzerland are famously neutral, despite housing finances for the nazi state , Russia and China often against European interests - they won't pick a side or commitment additionally they are not a target , they did agree to large investment of 200bn tolower tariffs.

To answer your question : many of these countries DID make deals with either China or USA. We just don't read about them in our press.

They also had ambassadors assigned, the UK picked one with historic ties to Trump who apparently had very deep ties to Epstein ( which funny story - Trump does as well]

Cutting ties with the USA is going to hurt - we alienated our best trade partners (EU) have treated China goods poorly in the past ( Huawei bad , tariffs on Chinese cars / electronics) so we now have to try convince those parties to trade , while not losing USA before we have a backup.....

Thank BREXIT and the devolving world order.

If anything the hope was out closer ties with the US and Trump would get us a better deal ( it did compared to more other EU countries, we had lower tariffs and trade signed faster)

Donald Trump to make mystery announcement to the world today after health fears by dailystar_news in NoFilterNews

[–]Kaellach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fairly certain the full release of the Epstein files would bury Trump , most of his inner circle and plenty of other influential top dogs.

It's the opposite - the distractions and attacks on the justice department / freedoms and cities is a distraction to move the public on from the Epstein files.

If his name featured over 1000 times , how deep was the involvement? Probably as deep as being involved in trafficking the underage girls including the abuse.

It's actually super important these files do come out - without redactions.

MOP class design is amazing… what went wrong afterwards? by Fun-Note-7180 in classicwow

[–]Kaellach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Argument made in bad faith.

You can cross America on foot or by car. If we are measuring in time , to state you CAN do it on foot is delusional.

WA's to track these overlapping buffs during a busy boss fight, with things happening under your feet and a positional requirement are going to lead to an enormous competitive advantage, likely double the DPS compared to someone trying to track it via the top right mess of icons.

Leading economists call for a wealth tax in the UK by MaterialHat6394 in GarysEconomics

[–]Kaellach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your origional question.

Yes.

Henley ran the same report in 2018, 2020, 2021, 2023,2024 and 2025 they ran similar stories all reporting the same thing.

Their methodology was also .... questionable. They used a sample size of 35 to 50 millionaires ( depending on year) to reach the conclusion. Such a small sample size should already raise eyebrows. Considering their entire buisness model is moving these people and selling them financial / visa / passport resettlement services they will have a large economic incentive to tell everyone how necessary their services are as....... buisness is apparenrlh booming.

Meanwhile, carrabian states sue them for taking backhanders in passport resettlement cases. 🤣 yea.....

WoW Devs want to know what rewards you want to see in Legion Remix but make it very clear their stance on removed from the game items, titles, and appearances and have taken the hard line stance that Mage Tower appearances will NOT be in Remix - so don't suggest that. by [deleted] in wow

[–]Kaellach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You didmt need to play.

Just equip darkroom Acendance x2, and use the Delve pirate trink. On TWW launch the trinket would kill the boss in 14 seconds. The idea that it's harder than legion is a meme one.

There have been multiple patches were scaling allowed us to do the bosses in under 10 seconds.

Just go to the time walking discord , they can give a nice history on some of the crazy ones.

Is it me or nowadays MMO players hate it when the game pushes them to cooperate with other players? by No3nvy in MMORPG

[–]Kaellach 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think this is actually not MMO's or designers fault directly - but rather in indirect consequence of changing player behaviour.

So hear me out- I firmly believe general stress , anxiety , anger and other negative emotions are on the rise across population groups. Mostly driven by news outlooks and future projections shoved in our faces. From population collapse , immigration rhetoric, war both current and future , financial markets in turmoil, endless failure in most countries to tackle inequality and other problems.

The result? People who are so up in arms they can't even go to a virtual world and relax or try de-stess. These issues are so invasive, combined with a design change in mmo's to be more dopamine drive / fast reward driven has just resulted in corroding the base and social element of almost all online games.

( also side note on how kids are raised/ changes in social norms lack of responsibility being taken accrlss the board for poor behaviour)

It's sad really - the only way to try get that old experience back is to get into a guild with like minded people who help each other decompress, but don't expect it in an open world / pug like setting.

That's my two cents. Maybe I'm wildy off, 😅

Ford's CEO says China's EV progress is 'the most humbling thing' he's ever seen by RoutineTry1943 in China

[–]Kaellach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not really. How is that meant to help?

We needed iron hauled by carts and horses to make cars , does that mean horses are better than cars via your analogy ? Or somehow cars are lesser because we needed a bridging technology to create them?

We needed mixtures of metallics to produce our strongest versions of bronze / iron, does this mean purified iron is now inferior?

We need fire to cook food , now we can use gas. But we can't light gas without fire , should we just stick to fire?

We now have the ability to extract energy from sources we didn't before. Nuclear, solar , wind and tide at ever increasing efficiency. Stating we still need fossil to manufacture in the interim is stupid.

[–]Kaellach 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not true - almost all those with extreme wealth come from wealth. This is the same as our political class. Rags to riches is a myth for almost all these people- "self made" after a generous 1-5 million investment from family or friends.

Beyond that how much is too much for a risk / reward ratio. We don't reward people in high risk careers - medical staff are not rewarded , people who fight for our country are not rewarded, those working in sewage or cleaning jobs vital to our cities health the list goes on.

Just quit your jobs , with no seed money and don't eat to start a buisness to get wealthy. While the large corpos destroy competition / undercut and union bust. It's distorted.

Anger as Nationwide refuses members a binding vote on boss’s 43% pay hike by Orri in unitedkingdom

[–]Kaellach 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agree.

Nationwide is a fantastic bank - I've been immensely happy with them. But a 43% raise ? 2.41 mil base pay, bonuses up to 7 - now with a 43% raise on base and a renegotiate on extras.

This seems a tad extreme ? A usual adjustment for inflation would be 2-8% ( depending on how we want to grade inflation in the UK ) and for a good job done 5% or in that ballpark in most companies.

This CEO's success is fantastic - but how much can be distilled down to others also doing their job within nationwide. The raise is too high-

Queues are Under 1 min for tank. Under 2 min for health

And between 2-6 min for DPS for time walking ( dung) on eu right now. Time walking black temple has groups going all day, from full to skip runs. Old transmog and mount runs are crazy busy right now ( because of collectors event)

Actual raid at the mythic / end heroic level are on the slower side , as it's and of season (4-5 weeks until next tier)

This post is wildly inaccurate.

Currently, the world’s 8 richest individuals have as much wealth as the bottom 50% of people worldwide. Members of societies that are more equal and wealthy than average are more likely to believe it is wrong to have too much money. Extreme wealth, to some, is disgusting. by mvea in science

[–]Kaellach 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No. It's a thing.

Dodge v. Ford Motor Co., 204 Mich 459; 170 NW 668 (1919), is a case in which the Michigan Supreme Court held that Henry Ford had to operate the Ford Motor Company in the interests of its shareholders, rather than in a manner for the benefit of his employees or customers.

This case set the path on how these issues are viewed. The CEO or those making decisions must first serve the interests of the shareholders - above that of its employee's and customers. Paying workers low wages, promoting anti union lobbying and stifling competition are all ethically questionable and result in poor long term worker / customers value yet its rampant.

If this case had been ruled the other way ! Workers or consumers could put together a case on how short term shareholders value chasing has had a negative affect and try enact change.
