Labour's vision for the NHS is getting grim

As #Labour tries to please both #private and public interests, its policies for the #NHS are in danger of costing a lot and achieving little

Labour’s seeming preoccupation with ensuring the private sector benefits in some way from any investment in the NHS, is incongruent with both the #healthcare crisis and any sense of #economic prudence.

“Ed Miliband Is OUT OF CONTROL!” #Net-Zero Could #Cost £300,000 Per Household, Study Says:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=arYhoZSLbbQ

Talk’s Alex Phillips is joined by director of Net Zero Watch, Andrew Montford, discussing the financial implications of Net Zero policies.

A new report by Mr Montford’s campaign group estimates the cost at £300,000 per household by #2050.

This figure is based on current and projected costs for technologies like wind farms and solar panels.

Mr Montford argues that the financial burden is unrealistic and unsustainable and suggests a political backlash may occur as the #economic #impact becomes more apparent.

This is a source I never boost usually but I'm boosting it now because of some rather pricey TV commercials advertising a house cleaning service for $19.99. Whole entire damn house, bathroom and kitchen appliances like stove/ovens, for stinkin' $!9.99. Yes, stinkin' cuz that smells to high heaven of exploitation.

How Britain stole $45 trillion from India

And lied about it.

There is a story that is commonly told in #Britain that the colonisation of #India – as horrible as it may have been – was not of any major #economic benefit to Britain itself. If anything, the administration of India was a cost to Britain. So the fact that the #empire was sustained for so long – the story goes – was a gesture of Britain’s benevolence.

New research by the renowned economist Utsa Patnaik – just published by Columbia University Press – deals a crushing blow to this narrative. Drawing on nearly two centuries of detailed data on tax and trade, Patnaik calculated that Britain drained a total of nearly $45 trillion from India during the period 1765 to 1938.

We can't save the world with electric cars

Going electric does not solve our problems, it only deepens them. As engineers, we must say the opinion of the professionals in the industry is contrary to the mainstream, and for good reason, Zsolt Horváth and Tamás Ignácz write.

We’ve known for a long time that our GDP addiction and capitalist economic model are incompatible with life on Earth.

Scientists kept saying that for decades, yet very little happened. A few years ago, the electrification of passenger vehicles had begun its journey, hoping it could reduce CO2 emissions to save the planet.

Not only does it not help — it worsens the situation, and yet we keep heading towards a disaster.

Larry Alex Taunton interviews #JimFerguson I Went to The World #Economic #Forum as a Spy —THIS is What Scared Me The Most. In this episode of Ideas Has Consequences, I chatted with Jim Ferguson about this. Here's a hint... it's #not #good #news for you!

Larry engages in an #enlightening #conversation with #Jim-Ferguson, a passionate advocate standing shoulder-to-shoulder against the World Economic Forum and its intricate global strategies. Jim, a devoted patriot from Scotland with a fervent belief in individual liberties, delves into the meticulous research he has undertaken, unraveling the intricate web woven by the WEF. Unveiling their intentions to exercise control over the worldwide food chain by unsettlingly seizing farms, Jim’s insights bring to light the gravity of the situation.

Furthermore, the video sheds light on the disconcerting connection between prominent #WEF benefactors and their zealous promotion of C*vid-19 and other vaccines. Astonishingly, these very individuals ardently advocate for a drastic reduction in the global populace by several billion souls. The discourse takes an alarming turn as we explore openly discussed aspirations of globalist powers. The urgency for ordinary citizens to be prepared and resolute in opposing the affluent utilitarian puppeteers orchestrating the World Economic Forum becomes undeniably apparent. Join us to delve into these crucial issues that demand the vigilance and determination of all those who champion the cause of #freedom.

Why capitalism cannot finally repress socialism
By Richard D. Wolff -October 25, 2023

..."Over the last two centuries, as #socialism spread from Western Europe across the globe, it interacted with very diverse #economic, #political, and #cultural conditions. Those interactions yielded multiple, different interpretations of socialism. For some, it was an evolving critique of #capitalism, especially its injustices, inequalities, and cyclical instability. For others, it became the ongoing construction of an #alternative economic system. More broadly, millions were brought to socialisms that aimed to change basic social institutions (family, city, government) that capitalism had subordinated to its needs. The different, multiple socialisms debated and influenced one another, accelerating change within them all.
...
Such a socialist system entails the continuance of traditional capitalism: enterprises owned and operated mostly by private capitalists, individuals, or corporate groups. What it adds that makes it socialist is a government (often but not necessarily run by a socialist party) that closely regulates and supervises markets and enterprises.

Such socialist governments aim to moderate key effects of private capitalism including its very unequal distributions of income and wealth, extreme business cycles, and unaffordable access by the general population to healthcare, education, and much else. Progressive taxation typifies socialist governments’ means of intervening in otherwise private capitalism. Moderate socialisms of this sort are found in many European nations, in the programs of many socialist parties around the world, and in the statements and writings of socialist individuals.
...
People have often organized their collaborative production and distribution of goods and services as self-conscious communities within larger societies. Sometimes such productive communities were organized hierarchically with governing groups (councils of elders, chiefs, kings, lords, and masters) paralleling how they organized residential communities. At other times, they organized productive communities more horizontally as democratic cooperatives. A rapidly rising concept of socialism in the 21st century differs from the three basic models discussed above in its focus on and advocacy for the organization of workplaces as democratic, productive communities functioning within society.
...
Among critical socialists’ analyses, some eventually reached the conclusion that previous socialisms focused too much on the macro-level of capitalist society and too little on the micro-level. Socialism cannot only be about the balance between private and state enterprises, about “free” versus state-regulated markets, and about market versus state-planned distributions of resources and products. That limitation can and should be broken. Failures at the macro level had causes at a micro level that socialists had too often neglected.

When socialisms left the internal organizations of production and distribution enterprises inherited from capitalism largely unchanged, they made a major error. They left in place human relationships that undermined chances for enterprises in socialist economies to reach socialism’s goals. A truly democratic society cannot be built on a foundation of productive enterprises whose internal structure is the opposite of democratic. The employer-employee capitalist model is that foundational opposite. Capitalist employers are neither chosen by nor genuinely accountable to their employees. In worker cooperatives, by contrast, the employer-employee division is ended and replaced by a democratic community. The employees are likewise and collectively the employer. Their one-person-one-vote decisions, by the majority, govern what gets produced: how, where, and when. They likewise decide democratically what to do with the fruits of their collective labor, how enterprise revenues will be distributed among individual workers, and as investment funds and reserve funds."...
