Would you be up for being compelled to give up a day a month to do good works? Not volunteering, mind, compelled.

I contribute plenty. I volunteer for several charities including AgeUK and a local food bank and I give blood.
Want to make it mandatory? piss off.
Tried to rig it in what way?
Fly, you fools!
Can’t believe it’s not called ‘sinister’
I don’t see how you argue that. Most companies today have some form of salary bill. Giving corporations a massive incentive to automate away lower paid jobs does not spread wealth.
Result - massive rich corporation staffed by small insanely rich exec teams and everything automated.
I’m quite intrigued as to what our modern world would look with corporation’s - what? - assets? - capped at $999 milion. It costs about $120m to build a single container ship, a Boeing 737-700 costs about $89m, Amazon set aside $1bn to film its Lord of the Ring series.
Probably the end of multi-nationals, I guess. Interesting
That seems like a very reasonable move by the council
“OK, here we go, wedding day. I am heading for a wedding. How do I feel? Empty, check. Scared, check. Alone, check. Just another ordinary day.”

Thanks for this. I miss these kinds of posts from /r/londoncycling so nice to see it here.
Edit: inevitably, the excellent Ianvisits has the full story https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/closing-the-gap-as-cycleway-4-connects-greenwich-to-london-bridge-70772/
Good point. I wonder if it’s because there’s not an obvious abbreviation. “The Metty”?
Sufragette feels a bit of a mouthful - I can see it becoming “The Suffy” or something. My feelings about ‘Liberty’ have probably been poluted by the way that some American extremists abuse the word.
Almost the definition of celebs is that significant numbers of people find them interesting. They may not be my favourite thing, but views differ
So, if I gave you some volunteering contacts as links, would you commit to starting next month for me? Or would it take a threat of fines/court action?
