Our bills have gone up and up and up. The politicians claimed this was because of Covid, then war in the Ukraine but interestingly they never blamed Brexit. Now our prices will go up again with tariffs given the blame. It's all excuses as apparently no bad news is ever because of the actions of our politicians.

The #WealthGap isn’t just growing - it’s exploding. Wages stagnate while profits soar.
A few billionaires control more wealth than all the other people combined - and with that, billionaires control politics and who is in government!
#UBI doesn’t “punish success” - it ensures #everyone has a chance to succeed. Because no one should have to beg for basic survival in the richest era in history.
Andrew Clennell (#SkyNews) & Ashley Raper (#TenNews) push the 'hasty generalisation' logical fallacy about #CostOfLiving.
Intent:
- Clennell: Everyone is worse off.
- Raper: Most are worse off.
Albo hits them for six.

Decades ago one wage could meet the "cost to thrive" for a family.
As #greed increased and wealth consolidated at the top people just wanted to meet the #CostOfLiving now they can't even achieve that and are failing to meet the most basic cost to survive.
Either govts redistribute wealth via the tax system and investment or the system is going to collapse. It was doomed to fail to begin with, now it's on it's last legs.
It's not a "wealthy nation" if 1% possess or control 99% of the wealth.

UBI isn’t about making life “too easy.” It’s about making sure life isn’t unnecessarily cruel.
There are enough issues in the world today that we don't need to add financial insecurity to it.
Also, struggle isn’t noble. Suffering isn’t a character test. Fairness means giving everyone the chance to thrive, not just survive.
And you deserve that chance. You deserve #UBI
