Legit so many idiots behaving like apes thinking they’ve got big brains

sadly, this is going to be used as an excuse to put more wealth and power in the hands of the already wealthy and already powerful, and it will extract wealth from, and screw over the likes of you and i

Best thing I’ve heard today, was on a recording of that British woman who swam in the pool on holiday when told not to. “The government told her she can’t swim, she doesn’t have the right” said the woman on her balcony along with everyone else

Whole things probably just a test coming from China to see who’s going to resist

Yeah, Branson has been flaunting his wealth for so long I'm not at all convinced that he couldn't pay his staff over the next 8 weeks their full salary comfortably

Could put that money he got from suing the NHS to good use

@devilsreborn. Got a link?

All this emergency socialism is going to fuck everything

i would have been less nice

"fucking pack it in or we'll start shooting"

yeah I was thinking this morning... it took 10 yrs of austerity to pay off the last bail out... it was right to do it then, and its right to throw money at it now... but man, prepare your butts for much harsher austerity to fix this one

and we still didnt properly pay down the last bail out

this why i think bailouts, whether cash payments to businesses, or wage support, should require partial nationalisation

at least the public get something for their money

well thats what happened in 2008/9

we basically bought part of some banks

@wacka https://www.theguardian.com/business/ng-interactive/2015/apr/29/the-austerity-delusion

im sure the guardian has an opinion on it

but they cant deny the 10yrs of deficit

How do you separate legitimate business based on supply and femand with unethical price gouging? Not figured that one out yet

You should read the article first

Guardian generally isnt worth reading

you should have a look at the data first https://www.ukpublicspending.co.uk/spending_chart_1947_2020UKb_17c1li011lcn_H0t_UK_Deficit_Since_World_War_II

It's the left wing The Sun

Again just because you don't like the Guardian doens't mean it discredits Krugman and his economic background. It just proves how fickle you are

and averse you are to reading things that confront your confirmation bias

I am reading it... its saying because we didnt become greece it must have all been bunk

not seeming to realise that we arent greece because of austerity measures

Again finish reading it first before you make conclusions on something you haven't even finished reading

I'll read it tonight

So its saying you have to fuck yourself hard in order to show you've done enough? @wacka

I mean just the sentence the US and UK cannot run out of money, because they can always print more... are you sure this person is a qualified economist?

Whats your background in economics wacka

it is possible to grow your way out of debt, ff, just not in the way that you and your leftist pals suggest
also, from 2010 there wasn't austerity

10yrs of trading
