ill give you a clue, its one of these three things
Something/Something/Neoliberalism

i don't imagine in these events the fianncing companies ar egoing to foreclosing

it would be ... cos if you had to save up for a sofa... more people would have savings

yes, ff, but that's not terribly helpful

instead ... everyone has more monthly outgoings

true

i get that

the more pertinent question is "how to we roll back these maladaptions to society"?

and

as i've been saying for ages, we need to make it so that households can comfortably live off ONE wage

which means pushing up wages, and the cost of living DOWN

yeah which starts by nationalising rails, energy and mail as they are natural monopolies. Then you undo the privatisation of the NHS and cut the bureaucracy within it. You create social projects that bring communities together so there's more opportunities available for people to contribute to local economies.

just looking at the ftse live... theres a loooot of money moving about right now

its moving up and down 20pts at a time

Things are only going to get worse in the next few days

nationalisation - case by case basis. i won't agree on principle

natural monopolies should be nationalised

social projects - no, government should fuck off and not be involved in that

how about this:

things like the last steel producer should be government owned, we shouldn't let things like steel leave the land

nhs, this is an argument on what is most effective

rails sure

scrap VAT on heating and fuel, significantly reduce duty on fuel and alcohol - it should max out at the cost of the externalities of vice being taxed
end mass immigration

royal mail should never have been privatised

ban future corporate ownership of residential property, limit residential property ownership to 1 per person, and to co-operatives and non-rpfits

royal mail is utterly irrelevent to the cost of living

yes, but in principle

agree about "what is most effective"

royal mail had to be privatised as per EU's EC directive 97/67

we kno

Mail has to be nationalised because it takes investment to reach rural areas which private companies won't do

that's purely a fucking stupid argument

Doesnt that rule work with any business that has to provide in rural areas?

How so wladfa

has the privatisation of RM worked well so far?

For me to support nationalising things like RailTrack, and the National Grid, i'd need to see evidence that doing so would make it better

how good are train services and train fares Eccles?

No idea, FF, no railways around here

I resent subsidising it though

What would you rather have done for the rails

your arugment being stupid isn't the same as me thinking it shouldn't be privatised you moron
