Under our current economic system, being pro-avocado is being pro-genocide.

The UK could be this world's leading example and not sell any avocado because production is bad for the eco system.

If you couldn't buy avocado in the UK, all the millenials and gen-z would be able to afford to buy mansions with the savings they'd make.

It's really quite impressive how well they keep these figures quiet. "Average healthy life expectancy" in Glasgow City for men is under 55. 55 and you're expected to be decrepit. Meanwhile go 6 stops & 20 minutes north from the City centre and you are in East Dunbartonshire with an "average healthy life expectancy" for men of almost 70.

That the horrendous and verifiable impact of poverty and inequality doesn't lead to anything is a real credit to the media.

iirc at the time of the eu referendum the UK had both the most wealthy region in the EU and something like eight of the ten most deprived.
