Why are you attacking him instead of replying to his points? He's saying that with the battery capacity he can estimate how long it'll run for him because he know what his current phone is like. It's a relative comparison. I

Why do you think your preparation will be enough? If things do go that bad then it'll be very few people that will survive because of just how much of our mechanised infrastructure is needed to feed us.

Do you really want to compare crime rates between most Western European nations and the US? I think you'll find that the figures don't come out well for the US.

Norway is because of oil and gas not small population. Qatar again. The US is an extremely natural resource rich country as is Australia which explains a lot of the difference in GDP per capita. Germany is quite a bit behind the US in GPD

Open Loop is pretty common in Europe. I have one electricity line, one gas line, one phone line but I can choose from multiple providers for each service. For gas and electricity whoever I buy from is responsible for putting the correct a

If you read my original comment you'd see that the contract would specify whether you accumulate sick days faster or there is a cut off at a 40 hour week. The only they they need is to ensure that employees accumulate sick days at the

Aluminium recycling is actually has lots of ecological benefit. It uses about 95% less energy to recycle aluminium than it does to produce it. In terms of subsidies to recycling you've chosen the item that would always be recycled no

$500,000 medallions seems to be a US 'innovation'. Sick days and benefits will be calculated pro rata just like they are for people who work part time. It's not a hard system to create considering most companies have to do i

Again which country are you talking about? The majority of UK broadband is ADSL2+. There is cable in some areas but not all. In all areas with phone lines there are multiple providers giving around 20Mb/s. They all use the same pho

How was the wait and see approach supposed to drive a spike in unemployment? They're waiting not moving so jobs aren't moving yet. As for a decline in investment we are seeing that and you'd expect the resulting decline in

It's worth noting that we are still in that period and we've only just started to see the economic slow down effects. Unemployment will lag behind the economic slow down. The full effects of Brexit won't be know properly fo
