Inflation.... 07:37 - Jul 27 with 2486 viewsBanksterDebtSlave

Is handing out dividend payments to the already wealthy inflationary? Or is it just public sector pay that's a problem?

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jul/27/british-gas-record-profit-price

'The UK’s biggest energy supplier reported profits of £969m for the first six months of 2023, up nearly 900% from £98m in the same period last year.'

Yawn. Another day and another Guardian post about a well trodden subject. Surely time would be spent better corralling efforts and mobilising people to be in a position to take advantage of a system-level crises to mass mobilise and seize power, either through elections or through an insurrectionary overthrow of the existing capitalist regime? Either that or planning and promoting better regulation and policy to put into action or maybe protesting or resisting capitalism through a unified approach to boycotting use or payment to energy suppliers? That is, if the anti-capitalist sentiment is really that strong on here.

Without it, this forum is just a dumping ground for middle aged men of the same demographic to moan about mainstream editorial with no sign of meaningful outcome. Where’s the sanity in that other than catharsis?

Shell Energy Bills by ibbleobble 5 May 2023 13:15
Has anyone else on here had issues with Shell Energy bills recently? As in, being told you’re on a fixed tariff pre-winter only to now be told, “no, we don’t offer fixed tariffs only variable ones so you owe us a lot of money”.

Decades, centuries, of divide and conquer grooming will ensure that British disquiet will go no further than grumbling on social media, the odd protest that may cross into riot...

But revolution? Highly unlikely.
Anyone expecting change of a true meaningful nature, even if Tories removed?A

The grifters have grifted for a long time, with the odd grift highlighted by Private Eye, so they got bolder and decided to take slices from elsewhere.

regardless of the predictability of the OP on here, it's hard to disagree with the sentiment isn't it?

We've all been told for the last 12 month that pay is inflationary, the public sector is the devil, blah blah blah, and yet every week there is another big corporate giant reporting record profits and paying out dividends.

It's a bit of a p1ss take, to put it mildly.

And that isn't how the Guardian framed it either, I did that bit all by myself.

Separately, this weather seems like it might stick around well into August now, hope you took advantage of yesterday to get some grass cutting action in.

Ha. Funnily enough I did get the mower out yesterday - having our house warming do on Saturday and yesterday looked like the only guaranteed dry day to do it. Obviously need to the garden to look its best for the guests!

On the one hand I agree. On the other many of those dividend payments go into yours and my pension funds.
