Japan could scrap gasoline tax surcharge this year, LDP says

The ruling party had considered keeping the surcharge in place at least until mid-January in consideration of the gasoline industry.

A fuel tax is essential for #ClimateAction. The new PM is showing her #Thacherism with the application of debunked #NeoLiberal economics and favouring #Corporate #Grifters whihc does nothing for the overall good of Japanese society.

And other systemic changes other than air pollution too, ofc

Like: Become a member of an organization, talk positively about good policies in your friend group, going to a local hearing and speak in support of new bicycle infrastructure, donate and/or volunteer for a candidate, etc. For your health

This thread was inspired by the latest episode of the podcast Maintenance Phase, on the seed oil hype https://maintenancephase.buzzsprout.com/1411126/episodes/17731905-seed-oils

“Built into the premise of #Epstein the mastermind scammer is the notion that some kind of legitimate path to a legitimate global aristocracy exists. There is no scam here. It’s #grifters grifting grifters all the way down.”
