I agree with the statement but I’ve downvoted this as I can find no reference to it anywhere on the BMA website or any other official public communication.

What I did find was an article about it here, and when questioned for a reference the author responded with an ever unhelpful “I have been told it is on the members only part of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) website.”

OP, if you can provide proof of this I’ll gladly turn that downvote into an upvotes.

Not to mention the constant paranoia and assumption that you’re stealing from them whilst saving them an immense amount of labour costs. Cameras watching your every move and “UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA”.

Makes for such an enjoyable shopping experience…

BBC giving free advertising in disguise, wtf? Evan Davis can’t have a podcast about heat pumps because they’re “controversial” but they can make fluff pieces for private corporations? What a shower of bastards.

In the short term, definitely.

In the long term I’d hope that it collapses like the Trump administration appears to be in the very beginnings of. So cruel and incompetent that large percentages of the population finally wake up to the shit oppressive capitalist system we live under and force genuine progressive change to improve all our lives. No more Tory light, actual fucking socialism.

Billions of people live their lives working all day every day, to what end? We have so many amazing machines, computers, robots, we don’t need to be working all our days all day to make some rich pricks who purchased a factory more money. Productivity is so immensely high. The Bread Book came out in 1892 and argued then that productivity was high enough to not need all of us to be working as much as we do, productivity eclipses that now by an insane amount. We don’t need to be constantly stressed and doing the bidding of some prick boss and yet that is the experience of the majority of the population across the world.

All so they can watch the number in their stock portfolio go up and up. Literally dragons hoarding gold for no other purpose than to hoard it. And brag to the other dragons about how much they have.

We’re genuinely at the point that the ancient Greeks dreamed of, of being able to eat figs, have orgies, and play with the arts all day and yet we all get up and commute to work and back instead because wealth is so unevenly distributed.
