“Tescokanda forever!”
Tesco supermarket this afternoon. Got chatting to lovely cashier, im guessing in her 60s. Swiftly conversation moved to politics, the total incompetents running this destroyed bum hole of a country. Cupping her hand over her mouth and leaning towards me she said, " there is only one man capable of fixing this, Rupert Lowe." I fully concurred

The obnoxiousness and frivolity of a bunch of millionaires smugly politicking for a socialist government in a foreign country is simply unacceptable.
If I were a politician and a bit clever, I might poast moronic partisan clickbait, then run an AI analysis of all the accounts who dunk on it to obtain a quick snapshot of the opinions and concerns of my opponents’ supporters, which would be useful intel.
Nope, that’s not how taxes and price works. The price is determined by demand and supply.
Companies charge the highest price they can given demand. A tax levied on *profits* does not affect a company’s cost ie supply.
Taxes on *windfall* profits (like oil and gas) are the most efficient kind of tax there is.

Corporate profit taxes do not directly shift marginal costs but empirical studies show partial pass-through into higher consumer prices. Windfall taxes on oil and gas have deterred investment and production in practice despite theoretical efficiency on rents.

Is he doing a bit? If he’s doing a bit, it’s pretty fun. There is, however, a worrying possibility that he is not in fact doing a bit.
