A deeply researched look at how #UKPoverty levels skyrocketed, and how the crisis can be fixed.

Almost a third of children in Britain today live in #Poverty. But how did we get here – and what can be done to turn the tide?

100%! Billionaires pay lower federal income tax than middle-class Americans - then use that wealth to influence politicians for their own benefit.

The priorities of citizens are so far removed from the priorities of politicians and senior public servants.

Resetting their incomes and benefits to a level relevant to the population is an obvious solution.

Bernie Sanders: "No kings" Bernie Sanders warns that the US faces a choice between democracy and concentrated power, urging resistance to authoritarianism, oligarchy and war.

In a speech at the No Kings rally in St Paul, Minnesota, Bernie Sanders said the US faces a choice between democracy and rule by oligarchs and unchecked executive power and called for resistance to authoritarianism, inequality and war.

When charity no longer means need Australia’s charitable framework now rewards compliance over need, allowing well-resourced institutions and contested activities to sit alongside genuine relief of disadvantage.

"The same system that produces #inequality also manages its consequences. Charity becomes part of the architecture through which imbalance is softened and made socially acceptable."

Charity = policy failure. #poverty #auspol

As Washington gets an income tax, the fight to overturn it begins • Washington State Standard Washington is expected to have a state income tax on the books Monday. Then a legal challenge and ballot battle are expected from opponents.

Billionaires and their pals in Washington State are fleshing out courtroom and referendum moves to repeal the landmark new Washington State 9.9% tax on households with incomes above $1 million a year.

Our #elected governments are too busy fussing about what we say to be #accountable for worsening #inequality , distancing from POTUS temper tantrums, & the #ClimateCatastrophe that will harm everyone! Meantime constant wingeing creates orange algal blooms in #regions.

It is essential for University of Melbourne to speak out against #genocide and #apartheid. Firstly, who from overseas will enrol in a #racist, #xenophobic University. Secondly, as the #inequality rises and failing #public schools affect our #students, fewer and fewer will qualify to enrol. #auspol

The Global Divide: How Income Inequality Differs Across the World’s Most Powerful Economies - Interconnected Earth Here we explore how income inequality differs across the world, focusing particularly on the ten most powerful economies and examining the policies and structures that shape their income distribution.

Income inequality is not just about wealth.
It affects mobility, politics, health, and stability across societies.

Understanding the differences between countries reveals how systems shape outcomes.

#GDP can be misleading when it comes to assessing #poverty. This research uses
"“Average poverty” which is defined as the average time needed to earn $1. The measure is inclusive, distribution-sensitive, decomposable, and aligns with how both experts and the public conceptualise poverty"

Heat inequality: Climate driving mortality in poor nations, cutting deaths in rich regions A warming world is reconfiguring the global map of mortality – saving lives in colder regions while sharply increasing deaths across already hot, poorer countries. While countries in cooler, mid-to-high latitude regions such as Scandinavia are projected to see temperature-related mortality rates fall – by more than 70 deaths per 100,000 people in some cases – much of the developing world faces the opposite trajectory, according to new research from the Climate Impact Lab at the University of Chicago. The study marks the first projections of rising temperature’s impacts on mortality, based on localised data and highlights the extent to which adaptation measures can reduce heat-related mortality, including investments in air conditioning, cooling centres and other adaptive measures. In hotter regions across Southwest Asia, Northern Africa, and the Middle East rising temperatures are expected to drive significant increases in heat-related deaths. Nowhere is this more acute than in the Sahel, where countries such as Niger and Burkina Faso could see mortality increases exceeding 60 deaths per 100,000 people – surpassing today’s malaria death rates on the continent. Pakistan, the country with the most cities affected by warmer climes globally, is projected to experience a net increase in temperature-related mortality of...
