It’s very, very strange to be surrounded by people everywhere slowly signing up for fascism. Especially when they think of themselves as “normal”, liberal / progressive… the good people. And yet, they’ve fallen for propaganda. Slowly agreed to value tiny personal convenience over everyone else’s basic human rights. They’ve jettisoned reality. Rejected science and facts. Bought into extreme selfishness. They proudly post photos of themselves causing harm. And push others to do the same. W.T.F.

The crisis in the UK's #healthcare system is not just about immediate care, but also the lack of really good prevention strategies; a case in point being the ballooning incidence of #diabetes - #Tory defunding of the NHS is having real #health costs to millions.
This callous & damaging attempt to promote private health care (thought engineering a crisis in public provision) is killing us!
Why is the Fed putting the onus of fighting inflation on workers and consumers rather than on the corporations largely responsible for driving up prices — and padding profit margins?
