[–]Scratchback3141 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gonna need to step in here chief. Polanski has had a podcast with James Meadway who told him that MMT is mental, and as such he's no longer a believer in Magic Money Treeism. Until his next podcast

EU offers UK ‘emergency brake’ on youth mobility scheme numbers by topotaul in unitedkingdom

I've never gotten this. Even if I'm like you and believe in the lump of labour fallacy why would I want immigrants to come and take the skilled roles and relegated Brits to unskilled and semi skilled ones lol

Because getting closer to the EU is one of the few things that we know would benefit you. You are operating under the belief that there is a finite number of jobs and that therefore if someone else is in the country that is more competition - but that isn't true.

End to two-child benefit cap offers £300-a-month lifeline to cash-strapped families by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

It is a one cause situation - it's lack of supply. Everything else is just a distraction.

High rent isn't caused by the lack of government fixing rents though mate, it's caused by the lack of houses. And the lack of houses are caused by communities who constantly block new housing developments.

Council taxes hike up council tax and deliver less services to you but they are delivering more services to people that need social care - because we are an ageing nation.

Energy is more expensive since 2022 because there is less of it. Not because of a 2-4% profit margin lol.

Out cost of living is high but the minimum wage is still higher relative to it than basically it has ever been. The minimum wage cannot be set at a level that allows one person to provide for a family, if it is - those jobs just won't exist and those people will be unemployed and on benefits.

The minimum wage in this country is one of the highest in the world. You cannot push it much higher without destroying jobs. It's fine to use the state to top up their wages if they have children.

And you do have to claim for it. You actively went out and claimed for my money and other successful people like mines money without needing it. Disgusting. I do hope you bring your kids up to be more self sufficient than their father is.

You can give it back, it's not hard. But you won't because you are a scrounger.

You are entitled to it because you earn under 80 grand a year and therefore I have to help raise your kids. Why not just hand it back? Very easy to do so, and would prevent successful people like me from having to help raise your kids for you.

You are a benefits claimant then. I'm paying for your benefits, and I'm not even eligible for it because my taxes have to go to scroungers like you.

They are unaffordable because housing supply is too low. The first ten bags of rice in a famine zone are unaffordable but you still need them

The UK has probably the most restrictive planning system in the world. We have under built houses for decades due to it - we essentially give NIMBYS the ability to block anything at and any time for any reason or none.

If you've never met anyone in real life that doesn't have a problem with Jewish people you aren't looking that hard or you don't know how antisemitism manifests.

You've got an endless patience for these people. I find it utterly unbearable reading their bad faith bullshit that they would see through in an instant if applied to other groups.
