It wasn't just the state that saved, companies did too. Shortly after the turn of the millennium, #German corporations even went from being net borrowers to net #savers
In the current climate, everywhere, union membership is more important than ever.

Whether there should be any reduction in the tax relief for cash ISAs is a clear test of whether Rachel Reeves sides with financial services who want them reduced to 'encourage' more people to invest in stock & shares (earning bankers more easy fees). or with consumers & others who want to retain cash ISAs as the low risk saving product preferred by people unwilling to invest in shares.
If she caves to City/bankers lobbying then she really is the LINO Chancellor.

100% of the revenues will be donated to organizations helping rescue people and animals during this crisis. I have brushes for infinite painter and clipstudio
@gnutelephony @strypey So-called #ModernMonetaryTheory is just rebranding #moneyPrinterGoDrr-Keynesianism with some extra layers of virtue signalling.
We don't want to be a part of a top down #technoFascist autocracy, with a corporate captured govt watching every transaction. No to #CloudGlare taking our banks. No to losing cheques and cash.
Yes to #horizontal movement of money between people. Yes to #landTax and #GST. Yes a currency (#BTC) that by default, rewards #savers who help our planet.
First time morning #savers since month. Meditation was okay, everything else pretty hard. Getting back on my feet to re-enter my #phdlife . After a long infection that fucked up my vitamine levels, burn out symtoms and hard career choices. I realy hope I will be better soon, for myself and everyone around me.
Even ordered some cute femme and butch fashion in COLORS - trying everything here to feel better lol
Whoops. My tinkering got me in trouble at my local #Savers. I touched the launchpad icon, not realizing it would actually do something. It launched something with #SQL. A clerk saw me and said, "Sir, what are you doing? Please don't touch that." I said, "Sorry, I didn't know that was going to do anything." Didn't help I was wearing my #ITPROTV shirt 🤣 #sysadmin #sysadminlife #Windows #Fujitsu
Meant to post these earlier. I snagged a cheap LCD TV from #Savers since it was pretty small, and I could fit it where I normally use my work laptop. It also has a #VGA connection, which our main TV lacks.
Plus, it should be easier to use for play testing, or just when I'm in the mood to play something on original hardware, since the main TV is wall mounted and I have to contort myself to plugin/unplug cables.
I tested a few games using my best cables for each; no crappy component cables (except for the #N64, which had #SVideo, so it still doesn't look that great). I noticed one of the games I tested, #WWFAttitude on #Dreamcast wouldn't display at all. My guess is that it's using some different display resolution that doesn't play nice with #VGA, perhaps since it's an upscaled port of the #PlayStation version. The other game, #CastlevaniaResurrection (a canceled, incomplete game), worked fine.
Pretty pleased overall. This will do until I finally move and have space for a #CRT #TV to play the older stuff in the proper manner! #Wii #WiiWare #WiiShop #Caslevania #CastlevaniaAkumajōDraculaMokushiroku

Over the past 5Qs, #BoE 's base rate went from 0.1% to 4%. While policy interest rate rises are quickly passed on to borrowers (as anyone with a mortgage well knows), they are barely transmitted to #savers, chart @FT https://cutt.ly/g8WiEEi
Every day I try to listen to a secular/ non-theist/ humanistic talk, often from secular faith communities.
Today I'm making use of this collection of thought-provoking talks from Non-Theist Quakers in the UK.

Another meditation I have been enjoying of a morning is this collection of audio talks from #NonTheist #Quakers in the UK:

#MorningPrayer #secular #Silence #Meditation #MiracleMorning #SAVERS
I have started listening to secular podcasts, TED talks etc. instead of religious morning prayer, as the 'Silence' part of #HalElrod's #MiracleMorning #SAVERS
(To be clear, I realise that isn't technically 'Silence' but I can't really do silence.) #ADHD :D
I am currently listening to Episode 1 of #HowGayThouArt, an #eXvangelical podcast.
(blush) it is very good and very funny.

> "More will be sent to bankers"
Creditors not necessarily bankers.
Also don't forget they still have a moneyPump to bailOut there friends.
Professor #SteveKeen has a decent idea to pay down #debt while ensuring regular people and #savers are not disadvantaged but its unknown by us whether he has the ear of govts.
Also we are not fans of #JobGuarantee propositions — #degrowth is needed.
We find that monetary policy is really downstream from energy, though – and #peakOil.

There is still one big, #boomer blunder that you still have time to rectify.
Help your #family ditch the failing Frankenstein of #fiat, the ugly, suckling #USDollar. Over generations you've seen the #misallocation, the financialised #growthism, and #speculativeBubbles and wars it has fueled when countries expressed to stand apart from it.
Stop fueling fiat and move towards #degrowth, a #deflationary money for #savers.
Dear boomer,
@101101000
If GNUTaler is built on #fiat we're pleased we only namedropped it in a caveat, "some are suggesting Duniter and #Taler but we've not researched those."
Fiat is latin for "let it (their #corruption and abuse of power) be so".
Someone said above "money is power". Only partly right, control over #moneySupply is #power, and we've seen during the past two years how #kleptocrats manipulate supply for self-gain and to hurt non-hedonist #savers.
@lordbowlich
The sad part is it almost seemed like they were about to turn over a new leaf last month by accepting donations in sound-money from actual #savers.
Then the #grifters in the #twitterSphere saw an end to that, of course.
Is every single #bank in #Australia now served by Cloudflare?
Its sure looking that way.
And given that we refuse to use #Cloudflare, we thus consider ourselves #unbanked. Save for *maybe* some #bitcoin.
The #warOnBitcoiners (we mean #savers) is not subtle.
