Also that stupid scottish terf hashtag is trending because Nicola Sturgeon shouted 'shame on you' at a guy repeating 'valid concerns' in scotparl, and now you've got a hash tag that says women won't be quiet being used to say that a woman should not have said anything.  https://twitter.com/murdo_fraser/status/1435673691967340545?s=19 (spoilered so as not to embed transphobia) Welcome to the 5d brain knot.

He was saying he was in favour of things like capital gains/dividends tax, and Rigby was hammering "so a wealth tax?" which to my understanding isnt what those things are. And Starmer couldn't even handle that and get his point across.

All taxes are necessarily levied upon some sort of wealth because that's what a tax is. Unless you had some sort of negative wealth-independent tax, but starmer hates those.

Except aren't most taxes on either money coming in (income tax, capital gains) or going out (VAT, petrol), rather than just taxing you on the value of your assets? Which is what I thought wealth tax meant?

Yes, "a wealth tax" would generally mean literally taxing you on the value of your stored wealth, but I think the interviewer is trying to go "you support wealth taxes because all taxes are wealth taxes" which like, yes technically that is true but that's just saying taxes are taxes, that is intrinsic to the concept of a tax. An advantage of taxing money in or transactions is that they can be easily enforced at the point of sale or wage (and also poor people cannot evade them which rich people who write tax legislation want to do) If starmer cannot simply explain the difference between "a wealth tax" and an intristic property of the concept of taxes then he's a moron who shouldn't be in politics.

Is it pretty standard for unions to not be able to help you out, represent you or give you advice for 2 months after joining? I was a member of the games union for ages when I had my last job but left it while I was out of work last year, didn't immediately rejoin when I got this job (like an idiot) and now I'm worried I might need some advice and/or rep but when I went to rejoin today they were like "yeah we can't do anything for 2 months or about stuff that happened before you joined" which.... seems pretty loving useless tbh. Obviously somewhat on me for not joining back up asap I guess.

Obviously somewhat on me for not joining back up asap I guess. I've only been a member of one union (Unison) and they had (still have?) a similar policy, but I think it was around 3-4 weeks rather than 2 months. When I joined it was explained to me they had such a policy to avoid the potential issue of people finding themselves in a situation where they'd want the help of a union, join up, get the help, then cancel membership once said situation had been resolved.

Yeah it's somewhat fair I guess, I'm an idiot for not just joining considering I tell all my friends to join a union and was previously a member, I am just a person who puts poo poo like that off.

Oh but of course, today under transgender in the guardian we have a woman who detransitioned, and the editing on this is insanely questionable to say the least. I don’t know who she is but it looks like she said something else in the middle and it got cut. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/sep/09/introducing-marley-morrison-ive-told-you-more-than-anyone-in-my-life-for-five-years

thebardyspoon posted:Is it pretty standard for unions to not be able to help you out, represent you or give you advice for 2 months after joining? There's always a wait period, the given reasons are a) that unions need subs and shouldn't give you incentive to join, get a bunch of legal help, and quit and b) your average person who joins when they're already hosed (deathbed organising) is incredibly bad at following advice. I can vouch for b, and ive also been paying for most of my family's memberships so I don't have to deal with exactly this. Unions can offer you advice even if you aren't a member, though in unite our industrial officers get a bit stroppy if we do this on the FB pages. I did my accredition with my partner's union during the pandemic so if you're really desperate I can give you some advice, but without union resources you're pretty much limited to acas if it comes to it

It's pretty bonkers - he mainly appears to be extremely upset that the government isn't doing the common-sense reforms of turning the NHS into a US-style insurance system, like that would just be a no-brainer. It's beautiful. Rarely seen piss so boiled.

Tesla was right posted:100% agreed. First round I ignored the strawberry milkshake offering, and this time I really enjoyed it. It is exactly that, yes. Having seperate codes helps me track where my orders are coming from- every community I trade in has a unique one (and most have different offers that end up around the same for the majority of sales)

I've bought some fudge! Gutted that the peanut butter and lemon meringue pie flavours were already gone though. Also, camrath, the mobile site experience is a bit crap. You have to click the fudge you want, then get taken to a new page to select how much you want, then have to manually navigate back to the main selection page again from the drop down option on the the top right. Way more complex and arduous than it needs to be. Please don't spit in my fudge

Finally, getting a refund on my cancelled holiday last year at the end of the month. Its been pretty hard to get a penny out of them, so hurrah. Not that I'm going to be booking anything for a good long while. I might just buy an alpaca instead, and ride around town on it.
