John Oliver is clearly a spook for the British establishment. Either that or the US is holding his passport hostage unless he expresses neo-lib views on his show.

It’s a myth that capitalism alone has lifted people out of poverty. In fact, many nations have fought to implement strong social policies just to try and shield their citizens from its excesses. For every claim of progress, there are countless tales of exploitation, dispossession, and environmental ruin. Saying no system is perfect trivialises the issue. With capitalism, the true cost is often hidden behind the glittering façade of consumerism, at the expense of human dignity, ethics, and our planet’s health.

Who decides what is, or receives the label of, misinformation?

A stupendous attempt to save face.

I am completely open to debate your claims factually. However, it looks like the facts don’t support your little narrative. So it’s probably a good idea for you to throw in the towel now.

Truly amazing. You’re doubling down.

Tell me ‘fellow migrant’, what length of time must you have been living in the UK, on what terms of immigration, and what stipulations must be fulfilled before a claim can be made (that will be processed and NOT automatically declined) by the Department for Work and Pensions.

If someone was furloughed, then they weren’t on UC. Also, I had to travel back to my home country during the pandemic because my mother died from covid and I’m an only child. I had been claiming UC at the time and my benefits were stopped while I was there because I left the country for more than 30 days.

The more you carry on with this lie, the more evident it is that you have zero idea what you’re talking about.

IMO bosses get what they pay for, in time and in effort. It sounds like they’ve neglected you, the business, and your co-workers.

I’m hearing that you care about your efforts, and that you take the time to notice what isn’t working. Could you have spoken up? Sure, probably. Should they have actively checked in with you? Absolutely. This is on them.

Employers act like they have no duty of care, but they forget that we have no obligation to keep picking up their slack. No one is entitled to be a business owner.

Good luck with the new offer.

There must be 50 ways to leave employers.

Hey I can speak from experience to try and answer this question.

I’ve been taking lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse/Elvanse) since 2017. It has absolutely impacted my sex drive. Though, not in the way most might expect?

So achieving orgasm is actually easier for me (overall) when I’m medicated, but the drive to have sex as frequently as before has decreased. However, I don’t really think it’s by way of the medication actively depressing my sex drive, but rather because it’s no longer necessary for me to seek stimulation by way of having sex.

So, now, it’s easier to go without sex without feeling ravenous. More specifically, I considered myself to have a fairly insatiable sex drive before, but since becoming medicated I now seek it out about half as much.

My partner and I still engage in sex two or three times a week, and sometimes it’s more, rarely it’s less. For contrast, in a previous relationship (prior to diagnosis) my need was to initiate sex every single day.

If my partner initiates, it can take a little time for me to get into the groove, but the desire for sex is still functioning just fine. Maybe the best way I can put it is: ‘I could still eat, I just don’t feel like I’m starving anymore.’

I hope that gives you some insight. I’m happy to clarify or answer more if needed.

Fruit of their labour? Tell that to the factory worker earning pennies while the company’s stocks soar. How about those clocking in 70-hour weeks but can barely pay rent while some execs vacation on yachts? Question that disparity. Communism’s not taking from the hard-working; it’s about evening out those stark imbalances.

Leaders and workers? We need both, equally. Just because someone’s not in the spotlight doesn’t mean they’re not driving the show. And to think there’s a limited supply of those who ‘make things work’? Ever consider that not everyone gets the chance to lead?

A starving man shouldn’t have to ask for food in the first place. Instead of judging, maybe ask why they’re hungry. We shouldn’t pat ourselves on the back just because, once in a while, we toss someone a bone. Government’s size isn’t the issue; it’s about its priorities.

And the family bit? Good families don’t keep scorecards. They uplift, share, and stand together. They don’t always wait for someone to ‘earn their keep’. Why? Because they care. That’s not immaturity; it’s unity.

Equating leaving communism to outgrowing family? Sounds like someone's confusing depth with adolescence.
