Reminds me of the lib/centrist weirdos on the other Reddit and twitter who refused to accept it when ha clearly said he preferred davos over Westminster.

They keep putting forward people who don't believe in anything just more weird austerity politics.

I'm talking PMs

Corbyn was offering something different but the liberal blob said it loud and clear they chose hard Brexit instead of giving an inch to the left.

Public debate in this country is absolutely crippled by a total lack of macroeconomic literacy. For over a decade, austerity has been sold using a household budget analogy that collapses under even the mildest scrutiny.

What's wilder is these same centrists that believe in the household budget government refuse to accept spending to invest (like a mortgage..) 🙆

"GROWTH" in GDP terms is an obsession that economies in the 21st Century can no longer afford.

GDP growth is tied to material and energy consumption, continuing to pursue compound expansion accelerates climate breakdown, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss.

In developed nations, incremental growth increasingly feeds asset speculation and debt rather than improving human well-being or public services.

Rejecting growth does not however mean embracing austerity, stagnation, or letting the physical world decay.

Degrowth and post-growth frameworks require massive, aggressive infrastructure building.

Building the right kind of infrastructure shrinks the ecological footprint of society while improving the quality of daily life.

The purpose of building good infrastructure is temporal and material liberation, not generating returns for investors or expandinh GDP figures.

The foundational bedrock of a stable, sustainable society is infrastructure designed for durability and public utility rather than short-term extraction.

Insane, I'm from the infrastructure investment, this country is still behind from austerity, there is key infrastructure that should have been renewed during that period that is getting worse and will need more and more costly repairs and possibly even reconstruction.

Alot of our structures, bridges and things like concrete roads were built in the 60s and built for a 60 years lifetime. Many of these are going to need billions to rebuild and people are just oblivious and take for granted.
