@realWhiteHats "Most of my questions are going to demand a yes or no answer. Do you understand?"

"I do"

🤣

@TheresaAFallon The EU already has the most punitively protected customs union in the world.

When starting from thay position any threat to "block trade" is a weak one.

[Paul Droop @PaulDroop]

@PeterMcCormack The economics is slightly more technical than that.

And my pedantry is very important

@DanielJHannan It isn't just wishes in death.

It is wishes and right over your property in life.

Firstly, wills are made while people are alive.

More importantly, inheretence tax MUST come with a "gift tax" otherwise it is easily avoided

Taxing assets you give to someone else

[Paul Droop @PaulDroop]

@julianHjessop When it all comes down to it, central bank/government intervention is only the introduction of another market participant

And the worst kind of market participant; an overt price taker

It isn't the recipe for "stabilising" markets, and that's been the universal past experience

[Paul Droop @PaulDroop]

@TonightVMTV There is no end to Communist demands over your possessions

[Paul Droop @PaulDroop]

@patrycjuszwyzga The confusion lies in the use of "right/left" political idiom.

In modern use it is a purely Marxist invention to divide Socialism.

Fascist Socialists were declared "right wing" (as was Trotsky at one point).

Hitler was a clear Socialist. No confusing Marxist label needed

Well this is amusing.

Providing some courteous, proper and professional context earns a block.

So much for "Somerville Advisory Markets".

@PaulSommerville It has a modified duration of around 37 years

It was bought for its duration

The institutions that bought it were hedging liabilities of long rate duration. They likely haven't "lost" anything, but maintained a much more stable balance sheet (risk reduction)

@Artemisfornow Household assets are predominantly two classes: physical residential housing and pensions.

Politicians will try to take as much of that as they think they can get away with. Every increasing tax on property, directly or via inheritance, and on pensions

They are like junkies.

@DanielJHannan I still fail to see the problem.

"Move on immediately, you are obstructing a public road"

Wait 5 minutes

Arrest them.

@julianHjessop An urban middle class, and likely public service class, project

@BritainUnbound The Golden Ratio

[Paul Droop @PaulDroop]

@brivael @elonmusk GDP represents output.

You have to produce output outside the atmosphere in order for it to be classified as space GDP.

Sending something into space could at best be classified as an import by space, funded by inward capital flow from earth.

Negative space GDP, CA deficit

I combed through hundreds of videos since the 1970s and put together this compilation

Either we give the politicians, bureaucrats, and the activist class trillions of dollars and shut down the economy tomorrow or we're all gonna die

50 years of climate grift

Enjoy

@EwanMacKenna The GFA

@MartinSLewis Let's correct this point

The roots of the "crisis" are in climate hysteria, renewables, and net zero. The data is clear. The Ukraine war started in 2022.

You have too large an audience to be propagating such misleading ideas and absolving those actually responsible.

@DanielJHannan Tax cuts would inordinately favour younger earners, because the present value of the higher retained income over 30 years of future earnings, say, far exceeds what it would be for 5 years.

@cjsnowdon Who said this?

“Is the State to operate them or merely control them? In some branches it may be a case of direct operation, in others of indirect operation, and in still others of merely effective control.”

[Paul Droop @PaulDroop]

@Aidan_Regan It's definitely heading in that direction

The command and control is substantial already and increasing by the year
