  • People seem to be more attached to ideas they had themselves, rather than ones others tell them. I suspect it's more successful to lead them to a conclusion they feel they came to on their own.

  • Another reason they choose to demonise immigrants is because they can spin rhetoric that energises the working and middle classes together, like a 2-for-1 deal.

    They convince the working classes that immigrants are stealing their jobs and abusing benefits. They convince the middle classes that immigrants cause more crime.

    They have influence over social media algorithms to ensure that each demographic gets the message that most infuriates them.

    Finally, with all the hate stirred up, their chosen political allies/pets can make a promise to crack down on immigration and gain the votes for both demographics in one go.

  • It's privatised. It's paid for by taxes, but most local authorities put it out to tender and private companies bid for the contract. So, ultimately, some public money ends up in the pockets of shareholders.

  • Tax assets instead. Then it doesn't matter even if they do leave the country because their assets are still here no matter where the owners go.

    Also, if the rich leave because they were told to pay fair tax then good riddance, they were a burden on the country.

  • It's the same with speeding fines and parking tickets, and the white collar criminals that call themselves car park management companies. Many folk just pay rather than appeal, thinking that the time it takes to appeal will mean they end up paying full price, but I'm pretty sure the clock is paused during the appeal process.

  • They were council enforcement rather than police. I suspect if she appealed she would have been let off, but some folk think then they'll have to pay the full amount because they missed the early payment discount window, which I don't think is the case.

    Also, what's the difference between this and pouring coffee in the kitchen sink at home? Those enforcement officers were just chancing it.

  • Whilst I agree with your statement, the research is using this as a measure of wealth inequality. 20 years ago a sudden windfall equal to 38 years of the average salary would put you in the top 10 percent. Now it would take 52 years. It's illustrating the change in wealth gap.

  • Agreed. I wasn't being dismissive of the problem. It's bad IMO, and it's already widespread.

  • Whilst this answer is correct, it's not entirely accurate, because it is dismissive of the root cause. The logical follow-up question is: "Why is energy billed in kWh?". If the question/cycle answer continues down this line there will probably be an answer like "because

    <some person>

    had to make a decision once, and they chose this because of

    <some reason>

    , and now we're all stuck with it because of convention."

    Anyone who doesn't understand what joules are probably doesn't understand what kWh are either. If the billing convention (and every other power consumption label) used joules (of course MJ or GJ) instead, then most people would just accept that as the unit of billing and measurement, and those who understand what the units mean would have an easier time of it.

  • I am glad someone else has noticed this. Why is my TV's power consumption reported in kWh/1000 hours?
