I’m all for taxing the ultra-wealthy, but from the calculations I’ve seen it won’t be nearly enough.
If you don’t like what I post you can always block me. I post articles I find interesting and relevant to the topic, ie Europe. It’s not like Lemmy is flooded with content anyway, and FT is a reputable source. Even if you don’t like it, a lot of people will read the article and have opinions; just have a look at the article comments on the site.
Don’t take it personally man, I wasn’t referring to you, I was referring to the FT itself.
I have seen those calculations saying that the system collapses in 10 years at least since the '70s, and here we are, they never take into account the rise in productivity and various improvements in the standard of living
Maybe you should have been clearer on that, because to me it reads like you were annoyed with OP.
But I agree the pension scaremongering we often see is exaggerated sometimes to the extreme.
And absolutely taxing the rich more is an option.
I’m sorry, English isn’t my first language and I might not express myself as clearly as I’d like.
You forgot to specify who should stop being annoying. In your mind that was probably obvious when you wrote it, but you forgot to put yourself on the recipient side, where it is definitely not obvious.
It doesn’t seem like a language problem, but more like a logic problem many of us get wrong from time to time, it is far from only you.
We can all make similar mistakes, and we have to be conscious about communicating in a way that is not so easy to misunderstand to avoid it.
Okay, I may not have expressed myself well, I appreciate the correction and I’ll be more careful in the future
The metadata (finance) has never accurately represented the real economy and I think it’s particularly disconnected at the moment. For me looking at the real economic resources is much more revealing of where we are at, what’s possible, what isn’t.
