#UK - Disabled man dies in poverty and squalor after DWP removes his benefits, just as Labour cuts PIP by £4.5bn

> The body of a disabled man was found in his flat in distressing, squalid conditions, just weeks after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) wrongly removed his disability benefits because he had failed to return a claim form. https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/disabled-man-dies-in-poverty-and-squalor-after-dwp-removes-his-benefits-just-as-labour-cuts-pip-by-4-5bn/ #brexit #poverty #squalor #austerity #ukpolitics #politicsuk #labour #ukgovernment

There are plenty of ways to get people into work but this unimaginative plan will make an unfair benefit system worse

I never thought I would see this in The Times and from this writer

"One week after the killing of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson, an intelligence report compiled by a regional intelligence center made an admission that’s shocking in its simplicity: Rising health care costs are correlated to threats against executives and civil unrest.

The two-page document obtained by the Prospect and compiled by the Connecticut regional intelligence center—one of dozens of fusion centers across the country that communicate intelligence between federal agencies and state law enforcement—is uncharacteristically forthright in its language and assessment that health care costs lead to instability, and that the reaction to suspect Luigi Mangione’s alleged action was largely positive.

According to the dossier, “Healthcare expenditure in the United States increased from $2.75Trillion (T) in 2004, to $4.09T in 2018, in inflation adjusted dollars. 2019 and 2020, saw expenditures of $4.2T and $4.6T respectfully, which represents a 10.6% increase year over year and was largely influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Historically, threats or actual acts of violence against those in the healthcare industry rose by more than 60% from 2011 to 2018.”

The dossier adds that the public “may view the ensuing manhunt and subsequent arrest of Mangione as NYPD, and largely policing as a whole, as a tool that is willing to expend massive resources to protect the wealthy, while the average citizen is left to their own means for personal security.”"

Hot Take: A livable wage ($25-$30/hr) is $55-60,000 a year. Middle class comfortable income is easily approaching $80-$90G.

The "Sunshine List" should be set at $250,000 at this point.

Today in Labor History March 28, 1977: AFSCME Local 1644 struck in Atlanta, Georgia, for a pay raise. This local of mostly African American sanitation workers saw labor and civil rights as part of the same struggle. They saw their fight as a continuation of the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike. For several years, they organized to get black civil rights leaders elected to public office. They succeeded in getting their man, Maynard Jackson, elected mayor of Atlanta. After all, as vice mayor, Jackson had supported their 1970 strike. Yet, in his first three years as mayor, he refused to give them a single raise. Consequently, their wages dropped below the poverty line for a family of four. Jackson accused AFSCME of attacking Black Power by challenging his authority. He fired over 900 workers by April 1 and crushed the strike by the end of April. Many believe this set the precedent for Reagan’s mass firing of 11,000 air traffic controllers during the PATCO strike, in 1981.

Says it all... Ben Jennings (Guardian)

Satire but the way Labour are going, this may well be a party political broadcast for them.

Today In Labor History March 26, 1850: Edward Bellamy was born. Bellamy was an American author and socialist political activist, most well-known for his utopian novel, “Looking Backward,” one of the most commercially successful books published in the 19th century. It particularly appealed to the intellectuals who were alienated by the Gilded Age greed, corruption and violence. His book inspired many to form so-called “nationalist clubs” to implement his ideas of a society free of private property, social classes, war, poverty, crime, lawyers, politicians, prostitution, merchants, soldiers, and taxes. Plus, everyone could retire by the age of 45. He died at the age of 48 from tuberculosis.
