The Scottish Government will give you AI data centres because bending over for corporate lobbyists is all they know 👇

It's okay, lads! We can't have a moratorium on AI data centres because it'll 'send the wrong message' 🙌

One dying child makes us cry. A million makes us scroll.
It isn't necessarily cruelty. Our brains struggle to process suffering at scale.
I explore why in my latest video: youtu.be/p--6AMILAe8

In case you are wondering about 80% of UK Company profits go to other countries or Tax Havens.
So more than £450bn gets taxed at an average of just 13.2%.
Which is the main reason taxes for Income are so high.

A Chinese tech company from 🇨🇳Shenzhen, China's tech hub, just combined humanoid robots with industrial robot arms!
This is what happens when your country invests in technologies instead of funding wars!

I really don’t understand if capitalism is so great then why do big corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, grants, bailouts and extra legal protections to survive and when ordinary people like you and me ask for help then it suddenly becomes socialism. Why so much hypocrisy?

The BBC have not reported this from Bell's Report.
Please RT this until they do inform the public of this.
"Anti-Jewish attitudes are typically less prevalent and have remained more stable, whereas anti-Israel sentiments are more prevalent and have been increasing'
Thank you.

Replying to @BladeoftheS
I have wondered what would be wrong with nationalising Amazon. The billions they make go abroad and little tax is paid here except the tax their workers pay, and they seek to replace them with robots. Oh and it’s a monopoly so the very opposite of market capitalism. Supermarkets?

"Le chef-d'œuvre le plus abouti du capitalisme contemporain n'est ni l'iPhone, ni la start-up licorne, ni même le milliardaire visionnaire.
Non.
Son produit phare, son bijou anthropologique, sa plus belle réussite, c'est le pauvre de droite. Une véritable prouesse sociale, dépouillé matériellement, mais riche en certitudes contre ses propres intérêts.
On l'a façonné avec soin. On lui a expliqué que ses problèmes venaient toujours d'en bas ou d'à côté, l'immigré, l'assisté, le fonctionnaire, le chômeur, jamais du haut. On lui a appris à hair l'impôt tout en survivant grâce aux services publics. À défendre les héritiers tout en n'ayant rien à transmettre. À applaudir ceux qui l'écrasent, pourvu qu'ils parlent fort et promettent l'ordre.
Le pauvre de droite est une créature fascinante, il vote contre lui-même avec ferveur, persuadé qu'un jour, peut-être, il sera du bon côté de la barrière. Il confond la brutalité avec le courage, l'autoritarisme avec la protection, l'injustice avec le mérite. On lui vend la peur en kit, l'identité en solde, la colère en vrac par abonnement mensuel.
À l'aube de ce monde nouveau, les monstres ne surgissent pas des marges : ils montent des urnes, des plateaux télé, des slogans simplistes. Ils prospèrent sur la misère organisée et la lucidité sabotée. Le capitalisme n'a pas seulement produit de la pauvreté ; il a réussi bien pire : la rendre docile, obéissante, hargneuse, et reconnaissante. Un chef-d'œuvre je vous dis !"

The bonus is to the oil companies.
The tax is to the people.
The theft is to the Scots.

”I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all, frighten people & secondly demoralise them. An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern.”
