[@quillo2747]

Services need to be supplied to people in the most effective manner. Sometimes that's nationalised, sometimes privatised. Water especialy is doing far better under privatisation, yet even here the government still retains full control, approving and funding investments, the water companies make no money off water bills, its sold at cost, they are civil engineering firms, they make money building and maintaining infrastructure approved and funded by the government that heavily regulates them. Scottish water is still nationalised, its decades behind the private English companies because it had no incentive to reduce leakage, repair pipes, improve per capita consumption. Even the sewer overflows is due to government policy, a massive population spike no one was expecting and could plan for due to government policy meant hundreds of thousands more a year using infrastructure not designed for those numbers. The devil is in the detail.

In the US if the minimum wage had kept up with inflation it would be over $20 an hour now and yet many people today feel that $20 an hour is a reasonable wage because many employers are paying less. Jobs used to give you a pension plan and free healthcare that took care of the basics such as a yearly physical exam, and regular basic visits to the doctor.Today business has gotten rid of pension and the free medical plan you get with your job if you get one has deductibles and co-pays so high you can't afford to go to the doctor..

I think focusing on an issue like this undermines the importance no focusing on a much bigger issue which is the consolidation of power of the super rich who are taking away the social mobility of the middle class and the working class. Whilst immigration may be a problem it isn't the largest or more important one.

[@Christina-g4s]

even if a migrant is skilled, its of no benefit to me, them being here. i dont see their tax money. its just one less place to live in.

[@fenderek666]

Are they burden? You didn't spend money on educating them. Most of them will earn money, go back and build a house in their own country. So when they retire- again no burden, including healthcare. You get most of Eastern Europeans only for the productive period of their life. Burden? They are the only reason GDP was actually growing at all in the last 2 decades

The sheep all baa to it unfortunately. Weird angle to take and results of a guy stuck in an echo chamber. Even the most intelligent fall foul of it.

[@tonykelpie]

The mention of ‘far right’ relates to support for parties like AFD, and Reform - both of which contain senior members that have promoted violence. What is your objection to this term? Do you think that Musk is merely supporting reasonable thoughtful parties?

[@DanBryanWrites]

@ 🤣 Reform is not Far Right. That response tells me you have the little echo chamber issue too. I’m not getting into silly arguments as unfortunately you’re infected but top tip, go through your socials, your follows and your general media consumption and clear out half of it. Hopefully you’ll eventually be ok. Good luck Tony 🙏

[@Vnam72]

@ Reform is not even remotely far right. You could even argue there are some old social type (left) policies in there. Believe me, the more you brand Reform (or Trump) far right, the more you will lose people and elections.

IS the reason why rich people want to avoid tax just because they want to be richer? OR is it that they refuse to hand over their money to incompetent governments who continually waste taxes on ridiculous endeavors that never help society as a whole?. I have no doubt there are those that just want to earn money and thats it but i also suspect there are those who have a massive disdain for the government and their continuous ineptitude. Maybe im just an idealist hoping there are rich people out there who genuinely want things to improve. Maybe im just deluded.

[@Magenta62]

or a third option ... do the rich just use a disdain for government to excuse their attempts at tax avoidance

[@lucasokomuniewski6525]

Hey Gary, I completely agree with you 100%.

[@stimu_li]

Calling people who are anti-immigration "far right" is dehumanising. The *reduction* of immigration is one of the most consistently prevalent issues campaigned on throughout past and recent elections - an issue that is the concern of a large proportion of the population. "Far-right" is a term used to suggest adjacency to Nazi ideology; a project which has long since failed, and the subscription to which is grounds for unpersoning, and a justification for violence towards. I think we all ought to stop taking our language cues from the BBC and other state news media. Except perhaps in Gary's place, you will likely find you have more in common with your right-wing neighbour than you do with the political elite orchestrating these language games as a way to divide and conquer.

[@DanBryanWrites]

Effects of an echo chamber. A very good friend of mine works in the city as a highly paid consultant in business strategy. Very clever guy, very well off, yet is convinced every single person who took part in the riots last year are far right. He thinks Elon Musk is racist and bla bla bla. Like Gary, Elon has suddenly become public enemy number one, it like Gary, sorta mentions him then waffles on about nothing. The danger of echo chambers

[@alexs1130]

Excellent point. Thank you.

[@thomaswikstrand8397]

That right wing neighbor has been duped into hurting you, himself and society. Blaming immigration for problems unrelated to immigration makes you at best stupid, at worst fascist. And you should probably wise up to the never ending dehumanisation and threats of / acts of violence coming from the far right. ...and also know the not so far right, like Starmer's right wing labour, are harmful too. The answer, like always, lies to the left. By the people, for the people, so to speak.

Totally agree that inequality is the issue and that the rich need to pay taxes, and that divide and conquer is the standard strategy - But we also need to be able to have conversations about immigration without instantly labelling each other as "far-right" or "lib-tard" we need to be able to listen to each other.

Gary's Economics video request: Billionaires are the only minority currently destroying America, the UK, and the planet. The worldwide phase out of animal agriculture, combined with a global switch to a plant-based diet, would effectively halt the increase of atmospheric greenhouse gases for 30 years and give humanity more time to end its reliance on fossil fuels. 90% of emission reductions could be achieved by only replacing ruminants such as cattle and sheep.

The same party that still claims that climate change is "because of the sun" and they will "tear down all the windmills generating power" - which would of course raise prices for electricity and also means they need to disown the people actually owning the windmills because they are not owned by the government.
