@AvantiWestCoast 09.36 GLW to EUS, no first class toilets.

Just suppose it feasible to refreeze the Arctic. Is it something that all parties would want to do? Who might resist this? How can the dissenters be persuaded otherwise?

@greateranglia I'm sitting at Colchester Station and I can't see them.

[Stephen Aguilar-Millan @eufo]

@greateranglia Doesn't answer the question. Where are the staff? And why aren't they helping passengers?

Is the United States in a period of malaise? If so, is it permanent? Could it represent the peak of American influence? If that is the case, what sort of world would arise from a post-American world order? In whose image would the new order emerge?

@greateranglia The only toilet in working order is in First Class.

[Stephen Aguilar-Millan @eufo]

@greateranglia LST to NOR, 09:30, why are there never any working toilets on this train?

@BashingBrexit @MerrynSW @timesscotland Less cost to have a flat in Edinburgh empty than to rent it out. The City Council interferes, the SNP soak the rich, and the Westminster government is hostile to landlords.

@JimDaws93102644 I quite liked it, and I'd happily watch it again. It took a while to get into, but is worth persevering.

What is the mechanism by which the rich get richer? Is it a feature that is built into society? How does the wealth pump work? By what means can the wealth pump be switched off? What is our recent experience of this? And what does it hold for our future?

@LizHarding @Barclays I had exactly the same problem. I suspect that it was a bodged software update at Barclays. As always, they blame the customer rather than accepting responsibility.

Can we slow down global warming by refreezing the Arctic? Is it technically feasible? How? Can we do this at scale? Is this something we would want to do? What might be the impediments to doing this? What levels of international agreement are needed?

@SebastianBae What do I need to do to take part in the playtesting?

[Stephen Aguilar-Millan @eufo]

@SebastianBae Could I help as well please?

Is there something about capitalism that connects with the human condition? What factors account for the endurance of capitalism as a system of human organisation? Is it our acquisitive nature? Or our desire to trade for a better situation? Or both?

Forecasters were confident that 2023 would see a recession. It didn't happen. Why didn't it happen? Were there material changes to account for? Is there a problem with forecasting? Or do things act to make us look foolish? What does that mean for 2024?

@greateranglia 08.44 IPS to LST. It was the bus replacement people at Witham who were rude and disinterested in passengers with mobility problems. You put a double decker bus on the A12 route to Billericay. No luggage space, over crowded, no option but to travel on that bus.

[Stephen Aguilar-Millan @eufo]

@greateranglia Exceptionally poor service at Witham today. Any particular reason why?

[Stephen Aguilar-Millan @eufo]

What trends could disrupt us in 2024? How do they interact? And what would the consequences be if they were to happen? How far are they visible now? And how much is obscured to us at present? If these are threats, how can we plan for them?
