I read somewhere where someone had the brilliant idea that each year the worldโ€™s wealthiest person loses all of their wealth. Now that would be a fantastic leveller. Monthly would be an option worth exploring as well

Not only is the risk higher itโ€™s usually more aggressive

Lewis looking for sound bites there I think. Heโ€™s been doing that a lot recently

Never really thought of it before but schools are ideal for solar panels. Full occupancy occurs during daylight hours,reducing the need for storage capacity.

Having an extra few high end renovation jobs a year wonโ€™t cover the extreme rent increases. Ireland has now become a tinderbox of nationalism as a result

Iโ€™ll agree that the wrath is directed towards the wrong people. Take a look at Ireland. It came from what was next to a third world country in the 70s to close to top of the GDP/capita league now. Has the government used any of that GDP to solve the resulting housing issues ? No

Thatโ€™s a bit of a simplistic take. When people with vastly more wealth move to an area house prices rise dramatically. That prices the locals out of the area. It doesnโ€™t matter about the few extra dollars/euros/pounds that are added to the local economy for a short period of time.

It benefits Mexican GDP not the average Mexican. Itโ€™s the same populism that has infected America for the same reasons.

Certain unionist politicians called for parts of Belfast to be flattened. Birds of a feather and all thatโ€ฆ

Bruce Springsteen hailed for โ€˜life-savingโ€™ 20,000 dollar gift to striking miners The story of the singerโ€™s donation was revealed in a BBC documentary.

Sounds like he did that quite a lot. He did similar for UK striking miners:

I suggest you look at what happened in the local elections

Listened to the rest is money podcast this week where Peston said people donโ€™t mind immigration for care workers but do mind if itโ€™s to work as bankers. So it seems ok if the immigrants serve us but not ok if they donโ€™t. Thereโ€™s a word for that, I thinkโ€ฆ

People seem to think binary absolutes (dead or survived). In this case 80% of her kids survived the disease so it canโ€™t be the disease it must be the child, godโ€™s will or whatever. Thereโ€™s no thought about viral load, secondary infections or whatever. This lack of knowledge gets exploited.

Fantastic timing for this statementโ€ฆ oh waitโ€ฆ this March 2025 not March 2024. Anyway, it should be fine, itโ€™s not like there were any important elections in the meantime.

Iโ€™m fine thanks Jane. I hope all is well with you. The thought of contributing to the revenue stream over there was enough to make me leave.
