The average person gets poorer whilst the rich get richer. Sounds like it’s working as designed to be honest.

Average UK people angry at annoying think tank

I’m a lefty, so when I hear companies say “We’re making a loss against our projected growth this year” (usually during pay negotiations) I think “So you made up some shit and it didn’t work out, and now you’re saying you’re making a loss when in fact you still made a profit, just less of a profit than you imagined at the beginning of the year which is bullshit”

If Aberdeen had kept growing the way it was then the average person would have £45 000 more disposable income. Like come on it’s the same bullshit arguement. It didn’t keep growing the same way, and now we’re trying to say it should have done? But it didn’t because of insert opinions here that suit an arguement you wanted to make about austerity and other things

I don’t like anything from think tanks because it’s just a load of overpaid twats talking a load of old shitz then trying to convince me that they’re worth their pay.

I don’t like the Conservative think tanks and I don’t like the lefty ones either. It’s all part of the brainwashing.

So here is the interesting thing. The think-tanl blames this reduction largely on the lack of growth in the British economy. I can feel Liz Truss pricking up her ears.

I’m pretty sure I lost out more than that due to the wage decrease I took during COVID, which I assume hasn’t been calculated for, since it isn’t mentioned.

Also the increased energy usage I had during that time from being at home all the time. Then again when doing work from home, although that’s somewhat offset by decreased fuel costs.
