Mebh posted:Or the crowning glory. A 0 bedroom 0 bathroom place (is it a cupboard?) on the 4th floor (remember, no elevators or ac) in the attic for 279k! But you get partial use of the neighbouring attic space for storage. Yay. How is it an apartment if there's no bedroom in it I think "partial use of the neighbouring attic space" might be all you get there.

quote:During her inaugural address to departmental staff last Wednesday, Suella Braverman said a top priority would be stopping all Channel crossings. She has also asked all staff to watch “trashy TV” to help their “mental wellbeing”, a source said, specifically citing Channel 4’s Married at First Sight and First Dates as well as Love Island. hmm seems we've tried all the rough and tumble options except sharks, so I guess sharks it is

Mebh posted:Also my ceo announced a mandatory camera on policy for all meetings at work today across the entire company. So thats a fun thing. "it has come to our attention that some individuals are not using their webcams" fucksake. Is it 2020? This was objectively disproven to help anyone and is a massive fatigue contributor. gently caress your ceo and anyone like them. First they turn your home into a workplace office without contributing to rent, then they demand visual access to you without paying standard camboy minute rates

peanut- posted:So they’re putting the full-on austerity message out to the press now How did austerity pan out the last time around and has it been properly wound down? Not like, are they spending as much money as before they went austere, but have they reimplemented the institutions which austerity's killed off? Is the answer no? Because I'm beginning to suspect this immensely punchable man might be less than credible on the subject he's been chosen to be the expert on

sinky posted:They are doing more austerity because there are still some institutions it didn't destroy. They've got 2 years to get what's left. that's just not very good public stewardship, at least imo. destroying social institutions - and then very likely having to build them up from nothing at a later stage - is considerably harder and more expensive than keeping them alive by alloting appropriate resources on a long-term and reliable basis. quote:I think it is important that we look at a state which is extremely large, and look at how we can make sure that it is in full alignment with a lower tax economy. it's weird how the tories' pitch is always 'we want to make things worse for almost everyone' and voters either don't get that they're part of that almost everyone, or they figure that they can take it as long as it means someone else gets worse hosed than them.

Bobby Deluxe posted:It relies on everyone raised on Thatcherite individualism thinking "well it'll never hit me" and then by the time it does, all of the other people thinking it'll never hit them rally round to come up with reasons why its the victims fault, and coming up with completely derranged things they could have done differently, like living off porridge. I'd have thought it was spite and resentment, that's a hell of a drug. individualism is mostly placebo really

Diet Crack posted:the ISA is only as good as the allowance goes though, if you suddenly make a mil on the markets it doesn't really matter. Personally I'd rather not have my monies in any locked in contracts with banks at the moment because *spoiler* they're going to trade it away and then tell you that you can't have it back or limit you to £50 withdrawals a month or something stupid because Banks are a cancer. Cancer is progressive. Cancer means growth. Cancer tends to win out in the end.

Marmaduke! posted:Exactly, that stuff that Tory chairman was saying above could have actually been useful if it was "we should all be looking to reduce power consumption" instead of "Too poor to run your heater 24-7? Just get a better paid job". Of course, saying we should use less power would imply we should take action, like all that inconvenient house insulation hullabaloo... Why don't you insulate your houses? Is it a culture war thing?

Runcible Cat posted:gently caress knows. I think it's a It's just... shouldn't it be common sense when you need a volume of air kept warmer than the surrounding air? Houses can be made insulated so they don't need winter heating, even here in Sweden (by accepting a lot of building constrictions, admittedly). You've got all those gas burners and fuel poverty and seem to be cold at home all the time, and still you don't use proper argon filled insulated double-glass windows?  I recall back when swedes used to live in britane they always made a point of how they had to use swedish contractors because the british just didn't know how to build houses for british conditions. "They route their water pipes on the outside of the building!", that sort of thing. It's plain weird

Failed Imagineer posted:I really don't think there's any problem with people getting a few grand from their dead parents. There's often a lot of hassle dealing with estates, and providing end-of-life care can gently caress with people's careers and earning. But for sure 100% tax above a certain threshold in the low five figures seems reasonable - in a hypothetical world where the super-rich are also somehow prevented from passing on all their wealth through obscure corporate instruments the problem is people are getting different amounts, and some people none at all. We shouldn't abolish inheritance, but socialise it 100% proof to fox news outrage pieces

I mean she probably thought she was just helping out a family who didn't have a phone, and didn't expect to be dancing on egg shells to the tune of a hostile bureaucracy. That shouldn't be an unreasonable expectation really

Tesseraction posted:Also the infantilisation of saying they can't do it because they grew up in a benefits house and therefore never learned to do it. One of the benefits of modern commercial bureaucratic practise is to decouple the process of decision-making from personhood. You don't feel much pain if you're a lightly edited hard pressure sales script with four hours of video lectures covering the theoretical basis of elaborated post-industrial poverty theory

Spangly A posted:Absolutely agree. It is still very frustrating to watch people make the decision to rely on human decency and empathy when dealing with people who have none. The fact it's a member of parliament who made a choice not to delegate a task she wasn't remotely capable of, with a vulnerable persons financial security on the line, is giving me an unpleasant feeling that I don't think is solely just spillover from my opinions on the DWP itself. I'm sure you're right about all of that, but even the distant idea of that being necessary for vulnerable people to receive help fills me with black despair.
