Depends on how things go. I hope to go there over the summer to see how things are, set myself up. I'd probably officially move 3 some years, I still have stuff to do here, but in the interim I'm fine volunteering in the Manchester area.

Just think, Bezos makes many times more than the average worker yet does not produce as much as they do. He should be paid less by the rules of input/output but because he controls the distribution of cash he makes the most.

Corporate CEOs generally lack basic trade skills that are needed to keep a society functioning and moral in nature, instead they are skilled at winning state subsidies, cutting financial costs that don't directly benefit their bottom line, and outsourcing production AND marketing. This is why when Obama or Trump selects one of them to help the US economy, they fail, because they have no real skills.

These concepts are basic yet everyone criticizes Bernie on this one tweet, why?

I've heard that Amazon workers make close to the minimum wage. Sanders simply points out the huge disparity between the salary of the CEO and the line worker. I applaud him for it. I've always been curious why politicians don't tell the hard truth about class warfare. It's because in America it's not supposed to exist and it does. Sanders was criticized for violating the gentlemen's agreement about class warfare.


By the way we are losing.

If the labor those workers provided was worth more money, they would get paid more money for it. No need to pay more than something is worth just because it will give some politician a warm fuzzy.

When labor is controlled and limited, this doesn't enter the equation.

And if we were to use your logic, CEOs should be paid zilch.
