We learned in Economics in school that the global economy tended to have a catastrophic failure every 17 years. However, 1997 "Asian Flu" to 2008 "Global Meltdown" bucked this trend.

Covid has altered the timelines somewhat but it's fair to say, we're overdue another massive crash :roll:

Ah... the:

Not suggesting we keep voting for people who'll let it happen but in truth, there's ZERO any UK Government can do to stop this coming.

I still can't get my head around the "economics of the future"....

Suppose 20 million people loose their jobs over 10 to 15 years. That's a hell of a lot of Income Tax that's lost. Will the tax take from the remaining workforce be able to provide this basic financial credit, plus housing (as I'm ...

Hence the argument that we can just all sit back and enjoy life once AI takes over but I reckon it will be absolute shit :lol:


Who's going to pay for it - who's going to provide if we're not working, therefore not earning, therefore not paying Tax and unable to buy the things that computers and ...

So Zelensky is targeting Putin's Data Centres just 3 weeks before the UK Midterms, reducing Russian Bot activity to near Zero and NOW Trump is calling for him to be removed ??

Slightly longer version

Just looked at it again, the black car - I missed that. Overtaking, car appears, carnage ensues

I saw that yesterday and I know I'm not a biker but I haven't the slightest idea what was going on.

It appears like he's driving up close to the camera guy, maybe to intimidate but that might just be the distortion of the camera. Then, heh seems to veer off without a wobble to explain it.

Livestreamed? "Not to everyone" apparently, but still. That being said, comes to something where he's probably glad he's not getting a botched injection

D1NNY would be cool but it's £40k + last time it sold.
