Aha, the are exploring ways of cutting non-pension in the run up to the next to give the fiscal headroom to cut .

For anyone who has ever argued that has little effect, the higher incidence of voting among pensioners seems to give them a degree of 'protection' unavailable to other classes of people in need of state support;

and don't forget, the will ensure state pension rises will nearly match , unlike most

Can it be any surprise that after a decade of stagnant real , the dire state of UK practice, the continued media focus on celebrity culture (where the talentless but 'entertaining' are rewarded) & a government that has made it its to shove money to its mates, that a significant minority of young people increasingly do not see a clear link between hard work and a 'better life'.

The only Q. is how fast is this feeling spreading?

Q. which sectors nominal are rising fastest?

so in the three months to June this is what (annualised) rises looked like:

- 7.7%
- 6.5%
- - 8.2%
- 5.8%
sector - 6.8% and
- 9.4%

none of these (even the financial services) are enough to make up for the fall(s) in real wages over the last decade!

is coming from somewhere else.... might it be the 'maintenance' of do you think?

The only way won't be a tool to further this trend is if AI itself is used to dismantle capitalism.

1.2 crore MGNREGS workers will not be paid because they are not on Aadhaar-based wage system

The fourth extension for mandatory payments under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme via Aadhaar Based Payments System ends on August 31. As the numbers stand, out of the total 26 crore job card holders, 41.1% are still not eligible for this mode of payment. The Ministry of Rural Development has ruled out any more extensions, arguing that among the active workers, only 18.3% are ineligible.

The United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty.

Not a tragic mix-up, though. That military spending helps maintain control of resources and markets for the richest Americans, whereas an army of poor people benefits them, too, by keeping wages low.

The Gender Gap in Earnings Losses after Job Displacement d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:ajk:ajkd
"… women’s earnings losses are much higher than men’s, with the difference persisting and growing five years after job displacement. … One important reason for women’s higher earnings losses is their much higher propensity to take up part-time or mini-job employment after displacement"
