Why aren’t any government making wealth inequality and property supply focused policies? (lemm.ee)

Why can’t any government in the world aim to tax ultra rich more whilst making easier for small to medium large businesses to thrive. And policies on property supply rather than property buyers like all sorts of first time buyers programs.

Why are only same old policies keep being peddled when the world is still going to shit?

That doesn’t involve reducing the government size and budget entirely or subscribing to any extreme left or right?

Every single Chinese person ive ever met (i've lived in Shenzen and I know a few in the UK) has been open to discussing what happened there what are you on about lmao

And why should I believe anything you say? I mean, if I'm correct and the internet is a giant skinner box used to condition us. Wouldn't that be what you'd argue anyway?

Is it that inconceivable someone onlines been to HK or Shenzhen to you lmao, they are both cities of several million people and HK being a colony of the UK has free travel between UK>HK.

I met someone in the UK who was HK-British, her parents where a split of HK/Mainlander, allowed me to travel between the two and I had employment for about 6 months in HK as a chef; during that time I was able to speak to a lot of people.

You could just like, fucking talk to someone from Shenzhen man, no ones stopping you.
