Russia is the biggest fertiliser exporter in the world. Sanctions aren't likely to keep prices down.

That's not what he's arguing. He's saying that restricting money supply as a solution to inflation only makes sense if the average price inflation represented price movements well. His contention is that it doesn't so re

Guns murder a lot of people in the US. Having fewer and less potent guns is better. Not good but better. I applaud people who are trying to make things better because the status quo in the US is shockingly bad. I'm not sure what you&#x

I didn't say it is meaningless. I said it isn't effective. Because it isn't effective. We have plenty of examples of effective gun control and these aren't they. And I couldn't care less what party they represent. D

Knife crime in the UK unacceptably high. So high in fact that it's something 60% of the benchmark for unacceptable crime rates. The US's. Being anywhere near as bad as the US in any violence categories is a genuine cause for shame

I appreciate that this may be a curmudgeonly view but do we really need the inalienable right to not be mildly frustrated? Is this what we want our political representatives to legislate on? Can't say it does it for me. Now, if I have

They're suggesting you enter 2 financial derivatives contracts. Specifically options on the level of the S&P 500 index as it will be in Dec 22. The first transaction is to buy a, so-called, put option struck at $3625. This means th

A Russian win would be formal secession of Crimea and Donbas to Russia, secure water supply to the Crimea and a puppet government for the rest. The government doesn't need to be internationally recognised, just beholden to Russia and a

It's entirely possible he was expecting another Crimea. As in, very little resistance and practically no reaction from the rest of the world. That's what happened last time. It's not completely ridiculous to expect it to happ

In a country with a sensible healthcare system there will likely be no difference. In the US, say, there may well be. For example, if there are health consequences due to taking the vaccine, who pays?
