I always leave then knocking around and one day I find the cat in it after having ignored it for two years.

This is a classic ignorant right-wing dog whistle. The main problem with the right-wing (and sadly a good portion of the left by now) is they are absolutely ignorant about how monetary economies work. And it's been that way for about 55 years now.

If the government doesn't run a large deficit the economy implodes. Step one is to learn what a deficit actually means. The govt doesn't need to 'rtake in' anything to match it.

Crude. Or were you telling me what you're doing?

Really? I was lying on the bed reading a book and talking to my wife. You were looking for a frenzied gif to post.

I'm very relaxed. I'm not the one comment bombing in a frantic way. Especially with general ignorance. 😂

I'm merely providing a fact about how govt spends. One highly beneficial to understanding why the claims of the current (and former govts) are false.

When those 'agents' are bent over someone like that why doesn't someone (or more people) just run up and football kick them in the face?

No 'printing' occurs. And it rally isn't 'more complicated'. When government taxes it reduces private sector capacity to spend and that creates resource/fiscal space for govt spending. This is how it always is (or should be) for public infrastructure spending.

Govt doesn't need to 'earn' money it supplies it at will. The only thngs preventing them is that will and their decision to givea larger proportion of aggregate spending on infrastructure to the private sector.

Ever better just run a small tax levy on their UK operations and when they pass on the costs and their personnel become unemployed, government simply employs them domestically. Govt entering 'competition' bidding is a recipe for inflationary spending.

No, there's damage limitation you can use to correct this giant mistake. You're both ignorant and arrogant and it's why you never learn anything.

'The aggregate' means 'total' as in 'all'. I wouldn't be casting aspersions about intelligence if I were you bigmouth.

No, part of them did. I also advise you that it's not possible to have decent a conversation with people if you carry on in your manner.

Well at the time a good portion of the same electorate voted for Corbyn (who actually had a very good turnout in 2017 and 2019). So it;s only ever part of the electorate.

More probably with the revoking of the 'fairness doctrine' allowing the lack of balanced coverage and all these 100% right-wing propaganda platforms..

If you like them there's nothing I can say to that. Part of your childhood viewing, that's legit.

His spending into non-productive areas (like ICE) will just fuel the unemployment figures while crashing useful production. Once this pain hits at the lowest-incomes his popularity will plummet further.

These films appeal more to western audiences who thought Hong Kong films were just strange. I find Woo's American-influenced films fairly boring.

Well he did rip off all the preceding Hollywood films. That said films with martial arts and guns existed before his major productions. You can even find them in the Shaw Brothers catalogue from the mid-to-late '70s.
