According to one survey, one third of Millennials believe President George W. Bush killed more people than Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. Over 40 percent of Millennials have never heard of Mao Zedong; another 40 percent and 30 percent, respectively, are unfamiliar with Vladimir Lenin and Che Guevara. Two-thirds of Millennials cannot identify Auschwitz, and 22 percent have never heard of the Holocaust, twice the percentage of American adults on average.

Millennials might not know much, but according to a 2016 Harvard survey, they know they don’t support capitalism, with 51 percent of young adults rejecting economic freedom.

They probably were using an old list for Bush that still included JFK Jr.

There's no reason for government employees to go hungry when there are plenty of payday loans to go around. Also prison food ain't too bad.

It did though, cross a significant line for us. We are a private business, we are not owned by the Government, FCA or ASA, and we will never be told what we are/are not allowed to say. If we want to campaign to put Batman on the moon, then that is our business, not the Governments. Naturally, we told them no, we wouldn't retract it. Who knows where this will now end up.

This is a massive concern for us given the nature of the next project we were going to launch in the UK. Avoid.com is going to be the world's first negative-only travel review website. It launches in March 2019 and was going to be based in the UK - a massive investment with hundreds of jobs.

We no longer have faith in the UK Quangos on the issue of free speech. For this reason, it will now be based in the States. I'll be out there in the next week to start laying the groundwork for it.

Quote
But that’s not all that’s wrong here. The trend that the graph depicts is based on a poverty line of $1.90 (Ł1.44) per day, which is the equivalent of what $1.90 could buy in the US in 2011. It’s obscenely low by any standard, and we now have piles of evidence that people living just above this line have terrible levels of malnutrition and mortality. Earning $2 per day doesn’t mean that you’re somehow suddenly free of extreme poverty. Not by a long shot.

Scholars have been calling for a more reasonable poverty line for many years. Most agree that people need a minimum of about $7.40 per day to achieve basic nutrition and normal human life expectancy, plus a half-decent chance of seeing their kids survive their fifth birthday. And many scholars, including Harvard economist Lant Pritchett, insist that the poverty line should be set even higher, at $10 to $15 per day.

So what happens if we measure global poverty at the low end of this more realistic spectrum – $7.40 per day, to be extra conservative? Well, we see that the number of people living under this line has increased dramatically since measurements began in 1981, reaching some 4.2 billion people today. Suddenly the happy Davos narrative melts away.

Bill Gates has done a lot of charity work and I don’t want to blow up his spot, but there’s something a little sickening about billionaires backpatting themselves because people are making $2 a day. I find myself agreeing somewhat with Harvey Danger in his 1997 treatise on inequality Flagpole Sitta, it’s a sin to live so well.

Quote
Noting that 1,500 people had travelled to Davos by private jet to hear David Attenborough talk about climate change, he said he was bewildered that no one was talking about raising taxes on the rich.
“I hear people talking the language of participation, justice, equality and transparency but almost no one raises the real issue of tax avoidance, right? And of the rich just not paying their fair share,” Bregman tells the Time magazine panel on inequality.

“It feels like I’m at a firefighters conference and no one’s allowed to speak about water.”

Quote
Industry had to “stop talking about philanthropy and start talking about taxes”, he said, and cited the high tax regime of 1950s America as an example to disprove arguments by businesspeople at Davos such as Michael Dell that economies with high personal taxation could not succeed. “That’s it,” he says. “Taxes, taxes, taxes. All the rest is bullshit in my opinion.”

Quote
After the panel Bregman tweeted a link to a opinion piece he wrote for the Guardian in 2017, saying “most wealth is not created at the top, but merely devoured there”.

I didn't like their recent episode on state monopoly gambling per se but I appreciated that they put the California Lottery on blast specifically in it. Love to love in a state with no severance tax, no real property tax, no real rent control, but a state gambling monopoly.

it shocks people because it breeches our capitalist reality while simultaneously trying to install a postmodern illusion in its place. we subconsciously react to the absurdity without consciously acknowledging it. in a very real sense we have become violated. here, žižec will explain

look at the likes in the screenshot between the posts, where the original Sunny D tweet works is that you can imagine it coming from the human behind the account and breaking the "script" or the "fourth wall", the other three tweets including Sunny D's "comeback" are all on-script, on-pattern

what Wendy's and Arby's have done so effectively with their twitters is lean in on either the account existing separately from the brand and being a responsive twitter account or being a living embodiment of the brand as if the brand itself were a human on twitter, most of the rest of the corporate twitters don't have good enough staff to pull that off because they're trying to be multiple things rather than create a character

this is also why the realDonaldTrump account works so well, they created a character that people can connect with
