Content warning: Zarah Sultana on Question Time
Well done Zarah Sultana -
“A government Budget is not the same as a household budget.”
“The glaring omission in all of this is no one's mentioned wealth taxes. ...
“The magic money tree exists – it's in the City of London, and it's with the billionaires.
“But what you find is the lack of political will, because these parties are bankrolled by the billionaires, so they're definitely not going to tax them.”
Also, tip of the hat to Gary Stevenson and Richard Murphy, who I think have both done a lot to shift the conversation on this stuff.

#fedipower, #lazyweb: when renting out things (laptops in my case), I'd like to keep track of incoming payments and balance with liabilities and still aggregate for the #tax

RE: #Climate change mitigation is cheaper than #adaptation, but we need both 👇. It's rarely 'either/or' in this space, almost always 'both/and'. Which begs the question of how to pay.
After ending #fossilfuel subsidies (innovations like any UK #tax on airline fuel🤯) I come back to #CarbonCurrency as an idea that could work at the required, gigantic scale. HT Delton Chen, Kim Stanley Robinson etc.
