This kind of gatekeeping / rentier activity is not good for economic activity. There are two big players. Amazing coincidence that both charge 30%, isn't it?

I would agree that he had high standards, but he was mostly unhappy with some rank-and-file who were coerced into joining up, so I can hardly blame them. Other factions were not part of the whole at that point, so there was no back-stabbing

That corruption index is an absolute joke. The UK is massively corrupt. Guess what? They made it legal. Problem solved, let the money laundering and arms sales flow. Using their measures is the opposite of individualism. This is the USA, a

Private banks create money and that is being pulled back faster than the central bank can try to inject it.

I'm expecting you guys to give up on this, just like all the other stuff. Downvote away, but you've lost so many rights since the 1960s, with barely a peep.

Mass protests are only about the bad cop bit. You guys have given up everything . Conditions are far below what Europeans would accept. Better late than never, but very late. It's damaging to other countries, for example in the UK emp

I just cannot understand how you guys accept bad cops, bad healthcare, bad employment rights, bad social mobility, bad education and bad banks, but apparently national id is where you draw the line. Why didn't you draw the line before

Open office is the second to last act of desperation. Hot desking is your CEO standing up and saying "I got nothing " when asked how to increase profitability.

There is the whole dumbing down thing, sure. But the main issue is that the BBC is ultimately state TV. The UK establishment have influence on the stuff that really, really matters. Corbyn is a great example. The BBC accumulate political ca

I don't think this is correct, because competition hasn't created a better outcome.

Yes, I agree. You have a fence that needs painting, paint, a brush, and a guy who is about to spend the day watching daytime TV. Yet we are told, no!, do not pay this man, we can't afford it. We cannot get that day back when the sun s

If you borrow to invest for the future by adding value, you grow. Everyone seems delighted to borrow ever more against existing housing stock, which creates nothing.
