Remember when people thought “trickle down” economics actually worked? Perhaps if we give a lot more money to the rich it will start working one day, somehow? That seems to be the current plan, but I have another idea: what if we reversed it and used “trickle up” to give money to those most in need? All the data I can find, including our rgmii.org data and studies in progress, all seem to show that this direction works. ⬆️
@codinghorror I used to watch Telethons like Children in Need and Red Nose Day and feel really good about about the £40 million or so raised. Now I realise how insignificant that is when there are people who could really make a difference, without even noticing, but don't. The 7 year old saving their pocket money has more humanity.
