Put this Taxes thing in the context of Climate Breakdown, needed infrastructure repairs and things you can do with policies and you migth get somewhere.

- "Whilst it’s possible to make the case for more progressive taxation, the public was put off by language bashing the rich."
- "there are lessons here: The public will support policies to increase taxes on wealth but broad attacks on the rich go down badly with most voters the Researchers spoke to."

- Outcome: "everyone we heard from was desperate to see investment in their communities and many supported higher taxes on wealth to help pay for this."

- "Researchers asked voters about their views on the election, the state of public services and the role that taxes on wealth could play in supporting government spending. The groups took place in new Conservative seats in former Labour heartlands such as Blyth and Wrexham, as well as other areas including London and Reading."

Key Points:
- "The current 80 seat majority owes much to Conservative success in winning former Labour strongholds, where voters want to see better public services."
- "People expect the government to be able to deliver solutions to the long term decline experienced in many of the places we visited."

The dog is now a year old. Was a stressful day for her. Happy birthday to Luna.

How come that so many (I counted at least 10?) seemingly agnostic/atheist Americans take up religion in their mid twenties?

If you could read only one writer — and one writer only — for the rest of your life, who would it be?

(Please tell me why)

i believe we will see a boom and fight over homeschooling in countries where it is not yet common, since the educational system gets more and more defunded and the availability of knowledge and its preparation/processing gets clearer over the years. Higher education will even be more a thing of money: can you go into debt? can you buy the courses online? can you borrow the money for that specific training ect.
We will also see an reemergence of seasonal schools and classes.
