The 2023 #EdelmanTrustBarometer is the firm’s 23rd annual #trust and #credibility survey. The 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer online survey sampled more than 32,000 respondents across 28 countries. A lack of faith in societal institutions triggered by #EconomicAnxiety, #disinformation, mass #ClassDivide and a #failure of #leadership has brought us to where we are today – deeply and dangerously #polarized. https://www.edelman.be/sites/g/files/aatuss331/files/2023-03/2023%20Edelman%20Trust%20Barometer%20Global%20Report%20Region_EUROPE_FINAL_WEBSITE.pdf #poverty #ecomony #government #politics #society #media #polarization

Doesn't it just about sum up the world today.

I'm out of work at present, and would love a meaningful job, but it has to be one I enjoy rather than one in which I feel I'm treated disrespectfully.

#classdivide

I am watching #BreakingTheGlassCeiling. The show itself it not very good (the presentation is quite boring).

But also, the issue - the #ClassDivide in the UK for so many areas of business - is so crucial. The system is fundamentally broken. So many areas of our society are explicitly and deliberately closed to those from poorer backgrounds, with non-posh accents, without the family connections.

It sucks big time.

Classic case of how capitalism tries to solves problems. Including #CleanAir is a commodity that can be sold for making profit and not a fundamental right of people.

"There is research that shows that air pollution is more in places in Delhi where the population density is higher and where mostly people from lower economic strata live."

Its not difficult to spot policies that produce #inequality.

Last year, we called out #JobKeeper at its inception in #Australia, highlighting it was a #scam entrenching the #classDivide by giving bigger #welfarePayments to those who were well-paid prePandemic.

We called out the policies, others too, but our voices were drowned out by #corporateState.

Finally now #Australian #legacyMedia report that, of the businesses that got extreme welfare, 53% didn't need it.

Dig a hole, peasant! When you are finished digging, fill that hole again, peasant!

Then repeat.

Tuesday #column: Of my fear that ubiquity of #IT didn't also bring with it a common knowledge of IT, and the eruption of a new sort of #classdivide.
