Stock up on popcorn and fizz/beer to be entertained and beset by a myriad of WTFs. Tomorrow you’ll think you dreamt it all, so watch it again.

With many decades of experience behind me, I’ve seen a linear relationship between time and the common sense and/or open mindedness of UK governments, unfortunately it’s downhill.
Why is Labour is wasting money on climate scams like #Drax and Carbon capture and over-hyped slow & costly nuclear. Ironically, it boils down to undue reliance on the private sector—and lack of vision. 3 key reasons: a quick🧵

@TheGreenParty @AdrianRamsay How about someone from your economics office coming on here to explain the mechanics of how tax has ever been, or can be, used to fund gov’t spending. Tax the rich to restrict their influence and polluting activities but don’t perpetuate Thatcher’s con of “Taxpayers’ money”.

Amazing to discover that if the government stopped issuing bonds, ie stopped “borrowing” money to burdening our grandkids, the only significant impact would be to hack off those hard working folk in bond markets.

It would only have taken a few months at the bank to be indoctrinated with the orthodox nonsense/myth of government money. So is this “Breaking News” worth more than the chip paper it’ll create?

An excellent short read, evaporating the myths used by Trump, Musk and their equivalents elsewhere to keep us in our place blaming anyone "other" than those who promote the myths.
An interview with @StephanieKelton on Elon Musk, Trump's convoluted economic ideas, crypto, inflation, feckless Democrats, and more. Recommended:

@matttttt187 For over 50 years the gov’t has perpetuated the myth that it can only get the $s it needs from taxpayers or the finance industry. #MMT is destroying that myth, the gov’t creates $s, so can never run out of them. So let’s reinforce the nonsense and go back 50 years.
