@P48165Peter@TejasSandhu He’s doing a good job. The country is less at war with itself, the economy is improving and there’s more of a sense of optimism.
@BenBerwickGB@bazirani01@Gravipy@Mavrohw@ChrisGPT Given that most US domiciled companies which operate in the UK practice aggressive tax avoidance regimes, I feel the likelihood of AI companies deviating from that to provide UBI is nil.
@JerryBarnett@grok Please use your own research, not AI. The cancer cure carrot is trotted out ad nauseum. You haven’t answered my question about how those masses made unemployed by AI will be funded.
@JerryBarnett Please list the social and economic benefits to the average individual. As I understand it, there is a significant risk of high unemployment from AI adoption. No one has explained how UBI would be funded outside the USA.
@tubhitter@SirBillCash@andyburnham Your post is all emotion and no fact. We have had years to make Brexit work - make a coherent argument for the previous path or accept that we need to work closer with the EU in the light of changing world circumstances.
@PKirkbright@meralhece It was a contributory factor, but the tipping point was the extent of bad debt in the ABN loan book. It was the wish to win the race to acquire ABN which over ruled competent due diligence.
@PKirkbright@meralhece I worked for RBS/NatWest in the Goodwin years. It was Fred who pushed for ABN/AMRO, not the Government. We were heavily exposed to the sub prime USA market through our subsidiary over there.
@Rod__Mason@MerrynSW The hundreds of thousands only remained so because the Conservatives stopped processing them. The backlog is now being worked through. Some are genuine asylum seekers and some are not. The next reform in line is to reduce multiple appeals to one.
@PKirkbright@meralhece Correct, they didn’t. However, they were small beer compared with the main retail banks. NatWest was one of the largest banks in the world when it was bailed out.
@puckrin Pound is at its highest since the Brexit vote, which reduces import costs including fuel. Oil price has fallen since Democrat win. Closer ties to EU will improve trade.
