Not a massive fan of Israel, but I can't see any other country reacting in a different way to Oct 7th. The Hamas attack has to be one of the dumbest strategic moves ever made.

I remember when Gordon Brown promised "An end to boom and bust economics." I didn't that meant realise no more booms. In the 90s in the UK, skilled working class tradesmen making huge amounts of money was such a stereotype th

So if you add more people, and gdp per capita goes down, you think it isn't due to the people being added?

Labour costs down and house prices up.

I heard on here I think (but can't confirm) that renting a cheap server in a data centre and sticking your own tailscale on it is the best way to go.

Yes, but only total GDP goes up. GDP per person goes down.

I don't think anyone objects to what the UK had 20 years ago - genuinely skilled immigration (in American terms, closer to O-1 than H1B). Unfortunately due to the Boris Wave, we got mass, unskilled legal migration. The channel crossing

These are called jokes. Have you heard of those? A bit like when Barrack Obama joked that his bowling was like the special olympics.

"This meeting could have been an email." - yeah, if people actually read their emails.

You mean like an SMR? Yes, if they can be secured. If we went for full size nuclear reactors, though, I doubt we would need more than half a dozen more in the UK.

You're wrong because the emails were hacked and released before Trump ever asked. But as I'm learning, you can't argue people out of a conspiracy theory.

I don't think test cricket is quite as bad, but pretty sure wickets are prepared to suit certain bowling styles.

You appear to be factually wrong. PBS: "“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing, I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press,” Trump said in a July 27, 2016 news confe

They never released the "evidence" before the election because everyone expected Hillary to win. It was done post-election to undermine his presidency. I think trying to prosecute Trump to keep him off the ballot was a worse disre

I see what you are saying. Makes perfect sense. Trump worked on a massive plan with Putin to influence the US election. However, rather than bothering with encrypted messages, dead drops etc, they both decided that the best way to manage th

You think that one-liner on TV was the whole of the Russia/Trump collusion scandal?

If the Epstein files damage Trump, why didn't the Democrats release them?

You misunderstand me. I'm not saying the USA doesn't screw with Latin America. I'm saying it's also screwing with Eastern Europe via it's Colour Revolutions etc, but people seem more willing to accept that or look t

Who is the known liar? And honestly if you think a one line joke in an interview is "Russian Collusion" you have your own cult issues to deal with.

Well that's one country in South America. What about the rest?

So countries in Latin America didn't want to be "free" as well?

Yeah, this article hasn't aged well. It looks like a CIA briefing of a friendly journalist in advance of the Tulsi Gabbard releasing the evidence that the CIA colluded with Obama to lie about Trump/Russia collusion: https:/&

Agreed. And it also makes people think that behaviour like this is OK: https://michaelwest.com.au/macquarie-bank-privatisation-and-...
