For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Fabulous night at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury tonight from this master of his craft. Two and a half hours flew by. Added bonus to get a quick word with him after and get the program signed.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Well, I think what we can take from this result is that it somehow proves everyone right about whatever they thought the result would be.

As usual, a brilliant episode. This podcast keeps delivering on all fronts. Anneka was such fun to listen to. Always look forward to Neil at the piano but the section on Golden Slumbers was very special.
