I think there was a fairly solid analysis of the Belgian situation. Brussels has people coming from all over Europe and a few universities from which the students brought it home at the weekend. With regards to SE Asia I imagine the fact th

Yes. Is that what you think economics is? People buying stuff in shops?

You’re a fool if you think that’s all it takes to sustain an economy.

Sorry. Ran out of comments. Wasn’t trying to engage with you though so much as flesh out my argument. Good Luck!

It’s the economy, stupid. All you guys trying to find excuses to keep on going as normal because “the economy” are engaged in myopic, short-termist thinking. If the health service is smashed and nobody can do anything because the rate of i

Sorry but this is derived from actual contact tracing (not the UK where they haven’t really bothered but a culturally similar neighbour) - but of course you’re so outraged that’s what matters more. https://www.theatlantic.com&#x2

If you get a bad dose and you can’t get a respirator you’re in big trouble. Guess what happens when there are so many sick that respirators run out. What happens when hospitals are overrun with patients with ‘mild’ symptoms? We’ve been talk

You do realise that England stopped football before even the government got their shiz together?

I’m not claiming it’s open and shut. Every time something like this comes around you have all these guys giving out. I don’t say free market doesn’t work in all cases but just that it doesn’t work in all cases. Libertarianism is a dead end.

Point was that despite repeated successes with this style of investment the libhurdurians still insist it’s a bad idea, totally blind to the fact that lassaiz affaire is just as prone to degeneration. It’s ideology as much as any other appr

Yeah that’s what I was kind of getting at ... great British success story, bought by SoftBank Japan coincidentally straight after Brexit. Would have been a good asset to have in trade negotiations. The sale to US based Nvidia 3 months ago i
