Been with the DWP for 16 years. The official figure for fraudulent claims, approx. 2.2%, is, in my experience, broadly accurate. Just wanted to point that out to frothing, raging Daily Mail and Sun readers who think it's closer to 100%.

That and the fact that it's quite hard for a shop, a restaurant or an old folks' home etc to 'become more productive ' by using tech to increase the efficiency of labour (i.e. to enable each employee to do more).

That type of person is so scared of death that they don't properly think through the question of what will happen afterwards.
Which means, usually, a massive family feud. Or if it's not family, a massive feud of factions.

Things went backwards a bit - another example being that the Romans had underfloor heating in their posh villas, whereas even in Tudor times people were still using (far less efficient) open fireplaces.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.
