Good Rants

Richard gives a good rant. A strange title, but Richard did not make the video. The audio was likely ripped from Democracy at Work on Richards Economic Update show. https://www.youtube.com/@democracyatwrk

The ripped off audio was then paired with stock footage. My take-away is that people are clueless. I already know it. My clulelessness is that I forget that people are clueless. I underestimate the magnitude of the problem.

Here is a video from Economic Update:

Worsening Economic Inequality Yields Worsening Social Conditions

In 2009, the bestselling and award winning book, The Spirit Level, sounded the alarm on the corrosive effects of economic injustice. At a time when few academics were exploring this issue the book provided a comprehensive analysis linking the negative effects of inequality to a wide range of social ills – from higher rates of imprisonment and mental health issues to eroded trust within society. It revolutionised the way we looked at, measured and understood the impacts of inequality.

I have been beating the same drum for decades. Inequality ruins normal human relations. It is one of the pillars on which my socialism is built.
