@edwinhayward More caseworkers hired to deal with soaring applications but not completing them quickly as caseworkers only start 1/3 and complete 1/2 of pre-Covid application volumes, results in soaring cost of supporting those with incomplete applications. Poorly thought out process changes?
@PhilFarmVet @edwinhayward@ka8895@Jo_WhiteheadUK Fair play. I suspect most people wouldn’t give it the second look or understand the trends. Have a great day!
@PhilFarmVet @edwinhayward@ka8895@Jo_WhiteheadUK But you (and at least one other) misinterpreted it as two separate time series until further explanation, right? I’m not having a go, just trying to help make useful data more easily digestible for the rioting masses. Interpretability is key…
@PhilFarmVet @edwinhayward@ka8895@Jo_WhiteheadUK The data shows that it’s split by the quarter the application was received, not separately by application date and processing date. Your example would only appear in 24Q4. Data can always be summarized ;-)
@edwinhayward@ka8895@Jo_WhiteheadUK Appreciate your work. Can I suggest a stacked bar chart of applications processed/not processed within 6 months? Gets rid of the dual axis making it easier for the less data literate to understand your valid point.
Voting day tomorrow people, don’t forget your ID’s.
Whether you want less help for poor people, less time waiting for NHS treatment or less tolerance for immigrants: there’s something to lose for everyone.
@rickynow Yeah enforcement’s harder, but (eg) speed limits aren’t *actively* enforced everywhere but people largely stick to them. Also, alcohol age sale violations fine the buyer, establishment *and* the server which seems pretty effective as an incentive. A step in the right direction
@silvercue @sysboy @RobinDavidMorri@JolyonMaugham People today are perfectly capable of blowing it all, but also many can’t afford to invest in their futures while others inherit millions and never have to worry. NW taxation supports poorer people to reach self support thresholds, shifting the tax burden to those with way more.
@silvercue @sysboy @RobinDavidMorri@JolyonMaugham Why does your preferred system example revolve around rational actors who don’t stop earning at 50k, but your interpretation of my suggested system involves the irrational actors of Man 1 who wastes every cent and the government who taxes Man 2 “to death”?
Arguing in bad faith.
@silvercue @sysboy @RobinDavidMorri@JolyonMaugham Logic on par with saying 40% tax rate discourages earning over 50k.
Good call out re:pension assets though resolved by a “Pension ISA”.
Both systems require investing in your future and taxing NW would encourage spending, absolutely, but more initial capital to invest.
@RobinDavidMorri @sysboy @silvercue@JolyonMaugham Disagree that you might as well abolish it because it’s high - means it would be a progressive policy targeting those with a lot rather than those with less. Also, if you calculate based on working life rather than lifespan that figure begins to approach reasonable
@sysboy @silvercue@JolyonMaugham I’d probably tweak your approach to working life (~47 years) rather than lifespan, but focus also better prevention of inheritance tax shielding practises
