@unimkeabana @patrickbetdavid He is! I should have suspected something when he bought the cheapest phone he could find I didn’t figure it out that it was probably his plan until I was an adult Even now I don’t like using a phone too much, forever greatful for his raising me!

@RorSyns To be clear, I misjudged the Bolo guy. He's on the right track on a sales commission I've seen his Profile, props to the guy. Mistook it for business revenue But you have to admit that the majority of kids are attempting to uphold an image of themselves which isn't real To

There’s around 195 countries in the world, but only around 15 were worth living in in 2019. Now it’s about 6 Obviously it depends on your personal situation But top factors of my list are: High GBP per capita Fair tax system / fair return on the % of tax you pay Low crime rate

Radical idea: all public sector workers no longer have to pay tax on their income (as it’s paid for by the taxpayer anyway, so why are they paying tax?) Instant pay raise of 20-40% for 6 million people in the UK to help with cost of living

It’s just a massive shame; I’ve never met anyone under 35 from the UK who thinks lowering taxes is a good idea. If you want to directly benefit the poorest in society, abolishing most of the taxes they need to pay would double the quality of their lives. “Taxing the rich” does
