Yes, but I have no idea whether the statistic he mentioned meant UK or the world.
I believe the NHS workers are telling the truth about their wages not keeping up with inflation, especially with the 10% increase of inflation. They are being asked to work harder than ever. >

Thier nurses have always been vastly underpaid too.  You could often make the same edge it better working in a grocery store >

That's a shame because they are responsible for saving lives. My neighbor was critically ill here in the US and the male nurse he had didn't leave his room almost the whole day, 12 hours. >

A lot of nurses here are vastly underpaid for the worker do too.  We're talking 12/hr range >

Good for them. Clapping at the door doesn't feed or house your family. Pay the bloody nurses! >

When government ignore people's need strike is their only option. >

Well, it’s certainly their most reasonable option >

Why must billionaires' profits go up infinitely while everyone else's standard of living plummet to compensate? When do get off this death spiral economic design that ends with everyone being a slave?
It is billions of people or the billionaires. Their are not enough reasources for both.
All that needs to happen is organization. If everyone just took a single day of the year to work on progressing society instead of playing games, watching TV or tiktok that day, we'd have 20 hour work weeks by now.
Almost all slavery is just to feed the profit margins of our invisible masters, and most of the world is their cattle.
Wake up folks. >

The top 1% are now getting 63% of all new wealth created up from 54% in the last decade. While most of us lost money during the pandemic, the super-rich accelerated their rate of getting ahead. >

I'm fairly sure all of us here are in the top 1% worldwide.
Most of the worlds population is extremely poor.
Edit:
To be in top 1% in the world you need to make 34 000 usd a year.
Median income of world is 1 225 usd a year >

1% worldwide is a different figure from the 1% inside a country like the UK.
