🚨🚨 THREAD TIME 🚨🚨
let's talk about the differences between income, wealth, and class
tl;dr: income is earned, wealth is bought, and class is inherited

so if you work for 2,000 hours and are paid $40,000 in a year, that's income
OR if you have a $1,000,000 stock portfolio with a 5% return rate and cash out $40,000 of it, that's income too (fucked, right?)
that could be owning a house and land worth $150,000
or owning a small business with $150,000 in assets
or owning $150,000 worth of stocks
wealth is the investments that are themselves accruing value
in the united states we use a lot of weird doublespeak to avoid talking about the proletariat, the petit bourgeoisie, and the bourgeoisie directly
proletariat ~ working class
petit bourgeoisie ~ middle class
bourgeoisie ~ upper class
it isn't.
https://t.co/GEpWyuxuhQ
if you have $400,000 in income but no wealth, you aren't middle class. you're working class
even if you make enough money to acquire capital and secure your wealth, YOU will never be bourgeoisie, because your parents weren't.
you'll still dress wrong, talk wrong, enjoy the wrong things. they'll still see you as less-than.
that's why the bourgeoisie have such an interest in obscuring who and what they are--they don't want you to realize you'll never become them, that their system is fundamentally nepotistic.
capitalism only exists on the broken backs of working people. there are no good capitalists, just like there were no good slave masters.
they can't actually make us work. we can liberate ourselves. we can stop this by putting down our tools and refusing to cooperate.
More from Economy
What do a Tory Peer, Selwyn Gummer (Lord Chadlington), David Sumner ( Sumner Group Holdings) and the Sanchez Perez family (drugs money, laundered through Gold mines) have in common?
It’s another company-saving a £50 million PPE contract shaggy dog story
Connections, connections
What a start to the story
“A bulletproof truck trundled down the road in downtown Lima, guarded by 18 policeman
They were wearing body armour & wielding high velocity rifles
No-one was taking any chances
This was a Special delivery for Peruvian Prosecutor for an anti drug trial
That was in 2011, the same year that Lord Chadlington’s daughter got married in Chadlington to Henry Allsopp.
Who was there?
Yes Kirstie Allsopp of Location, location, location and all this Covid nonsense fame) is his sister
Camilla, his Godmother
Jeremy Hunt
Cameron
Well. Come on. Lord Chadlington had been chair of the local Witney Conservative Association. It’s only fair.
Hang on. Julian Wheatland, Director of SCL Group/ Cambridge Analytica had also been chair of Witney Conservative Association...and campaigned for his mate Cameron
Are we sure Julian Wheatland and his side kick Alexander Nix were not there too @JolyonMaugham ?
I mean. They move in the same North Oxford circles.

EVs DO NOT EMIT MORE PM
Recently @OECD published a report about particulate matter (PM) from road transport. Newspaper headlines blared that electric vehicles where worse than combustion vehicles. That conclusion was wrong according to the report itself.
Let me show you.
The report (published december 7) can be found here: https://t.co/1HpicKexOt
It's main point is well taken: as cars get cleaner, fine particles emitted by brakes, tires and road surfaces will become more important.
The table comparing electric and combustion engines is on page 92. I took averages of low and high values to get the graph in the first tweet.
I merely took the averages. To get this.
I think it is a terrific report that pulls together a LOT of literature on fine particles that cars spew into the air and that make us sick.
We have ignored this problem for too long, and there's more here than simply exhaust!
