  1. Realising something's wrong is always the first step to addressing that problem.

  2. Inflation-adjusted valuations on house prices tell the truth. Just look at the value of the Pound since 2016. Nominal values promote the Wealth Illusion. People look at the numbers and believe they're getting wealthy. They're not. Want to see how really wealthy you are? Just calculate how much it would cost to buy that house from scratch today, Depreciation of Sterling means every £ buys less over time. And Online Inflation Calculators will show you how broke you really are.

  4. If Fairy Liquid is fancy, you've never shopped at M&S or Waitrose. A different world from Aldi or Lidl, dear.

  5. That is not THE problem. It's a symptom of how myopic and unfair the tax system is. It's not the cause. And, once the people who really run this country realise that has to change, and put their mind to it, then that will have to change. And it's not only the asset wealthy who have to change. The asset limited who rely on a wage, and the assetess, have to wake up the reality of their gradual demise, and stop supporting politicians who do not serve their interests. And let's be honest, the indoctrination is going to be as hard as giving up the worst addictive drug. Fear and Greed are more powerful. And until we stop believing things that can't be true, we will keep falling victim to them. Why? Because we don't understand what's really happening, and the asset wealthy class, especially the ones at the very top, are investing in ways to make you not believe reality. Why do you think Musk, Trump, Bezos, etc spend billions buying access to your attention? Why do you think the best selling newspapers in the UK are kept in business although they are in the red, losing millions every year? Why do think Google have screwed over small businesses SEO strategy to insert their least useful AI on your android phones? Or Apple are now getting their users to work for nothing to train their own AI? No such thing as a free lunch. That's why Twitter wasn't banned here in the UK, when they arguably endangered the lives of innocent people and wrecked communities in the UK by spreading disinformation? We live in a world that's addicted to wealth, and it's slowing killing us, and will continue to do so, until we wake up to the reality that we cannot win a game that is designed to make a very small percentage win. 1% win. 99% lose. And don't think they will stop willingly. They won't until it costs them more to continue than to stop. Capitalism was invented to harness human fear and greed in a controlled manner, but the addiction is stronger than the controls. Until we wake up to that, we are walking into a disaster that will only protect those who own all the assets.

  6. Figurative or literal inbreeding is bad, as it delays evolution by reinforcing ultimately maladaptions.

  7. You don't understand homeownership do you? Nevermind, you're not alone, and will have more company overtime.

  8. Solidarity is the foundation of change. This is why so much is being invested in creating a situation where Divide and Rule subverts it. Orwell's "Two-Minute Hate" from 1984, predicted how technology would be used destroy solidarity.
