No you do not.

The idea that any marriage meets some pre difiend rules about spending. Is just a mythical unicorn.

Many men and women by cars without consulting the other party. This is very common when both parties are high income professionals.

They would involve each party arranging independent loans. Or in this case being a criminal arsehole.

Sorry to tell you this. But your understanding of marrage money management. Is a hold over from the pre 1974 period. Where women were not legally allowed to own or borrow money. Without a husbands permission.

Yes many many couple still think of money as a joint responsibility. More so with lower income couples. Because it is harder not to.

But it is far far from exclusive to all marriage’s. And many independent career women. Simply would not tolerate it.

As an old fart myself. Yep I’d find it uncomfortable living in such an environment. Even when I had a high income. I still had the ideas of someone raised working class. But me ex wife most definitely did not feel the same way. And her stepfather’s abusive history had a lot to do with that.

Bit she is an extremely example. The idea of independent financial management between 2 married career people. Is far from uncommon.

400k over 12 years. 33k a year.

Yeah seems huge to most low income families.

But 2 people earning about 150k each a year.

10+% extra annual income. Is less noticeable. I can see why the police did not laugh. Just investigate and Look for evidence she was directly informed.

I mean honestly as a left of centre voter. I’d be a bit hypocritical. Not to acknowledge.

A family on 300k a year will be way less likely to notice an extra 30k.

Then a family on 30k a year will 3k.

We on the left make this claim all the time on progressive taxation etc. it applies to this as well.

For now I’ll ignore. How much of a bigger arsehole he is. Then the low income family stealing 3k to feed children. I’m only pointing out the busy wife is not as obviously expected to notice. As one who wonders where the extra baby milk came from.

Exactly. While few of us can honestly claim we would have done better in her situation.

She was the leader of the party. And the theft literally happened under her nose.

Yes we can all understand. She was busy. Not an accountant. And in her own words they were both high earners.

400k over 12 years. 33k a year. Is likely less noticeable then lower income families would have.

But she was the head of the party. And anyone else would expect to be held at least in part responsible. Even if they understand the missing of the actions.

As they should.

No billionaire spend huge investments on something. To increase Thier labour expenses.

Any one old enough to remember the days of early robotic automation. Where the government and billionaires claimed it would creat new higher paying jobs. And not reduce working hours.

Can also remember how much easier it made moving those jobs to lower income nations,

Same billionaires claimed the internet would create huge numbers of skilled jobs. Again moving them to cheaper nations as soon as was possible.

The only reason AI can possibly be worth those same billionaires investing. Is to remove the few jobs left in high cost nations. And to start to remove the lower cost nations employment.

It is utter fantasy to think any single billionaire. Is going to stop and worry about who earns enough to bu their shit. While competing to gather as much wealth as possible. Against only other billionaires. They will just compete against each other. Until ones get to call themselves king.

Caring about workers. Just as much as their cared about the serfs that worked their land.

And while being mentally unstable. Is a very valid and important reason to not practice medicine.

Making a news article about it. Is just horror porn. So the article writer has little to harp on about.

Doctor did dumb stuff to himself proving he was not suited to practice medicine. Is far from a nessesery need to inform the public. And doing so is just an excuse to remove his medical privacy.

Even if you question the consent in porn. IE consider economic issues forcing people into porn. Less consential then we would like.

I’d still trust someone with that interest. More then someone taking a person’s mental lllness and making money from exploiting it.

Unexpected but great solution.

Now can we do it for every other waterways.

And Brexiters will still claim.

Farrrage could have convinced the EU to allow us to do the same to every member nation.
