    I realise that logic, reason and common sense are merely absent with official leave ... but they've not gone, we all have it. Everything we need to fix is in front of us, we merely need to stop leaving everything to the whims of the market, and to start doing what needs to be done because it is actually what we're trying to achieve, but can't coz financial constraint and associated consequences.

    And democracy will decide it. It'll be interesting to see who gives a shit about the economy then . Tantalising prospect

    No, get it right, you made shit up. Again.

    Understand it? You make shit like that up to suit your wildly contradictory beliefs, how could anything you say be anything but gibberish?

And economic predictors have an even worse track record than the global warmenists - which is quite a (negative) achievement.

    Also, it remains a significant worry that many people who are opposing the TPPA are doing so on the basis of a World Bank report. The WB is one of the most corrupt international organisations in existence (but still far behind the UN and UNHCR).
    cheers for a thoughtful reply! Guess we will find out one way or another in time.

    Is that the same "privileged" rich pricks get?

    Nothing to do with any value they've actually contributed?

    Doesn't it occur to you that the behaviour any govt policy rewards is the behaviour that generates income? Y'know, where the money comes from to pay for all the shit that doesn't happen otherwise?

    Jesus Christ on a crutch, why anyone bothers conducting actual business with prevailing attitudes like that has got me fucked.

    It's not only a common lack of understanding, it's prevalent. It's like their whole brain is so filled with ideas about how to spend tax money there's no room for even the concept of where it comes form in the first place.

    I tell you what, you're slippers are nice too... and that blanket.

    The only contradiction is the one that you've created for me, brother. You're lack of understanding is simply not my problem. But yeah, nice slippers n blanket. A pipe might go well with that too.

    Some people enjoy it, but

    "WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Less than one-third (31.5%) of U.S. workers were engaged in their jobs in 2014. The average is up nearly two percentage points from 29.6% in 2013 and represents the highest reading since 2000, when Gallup first began tracking the engagement levels of the U.S. working population. However, a majority of employees, 51%, were still "not engaged" and 17.5% were "actively disengaged" in 2014."

    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Well, having someone pay you to do shit doesn't mean you have to enjoy doing it, does it?

    In which case the trick would be finding shit that you enjoy doing that other people will pay you to do, wouldn't it?

    Don't seem like such a difficult thing to do if you've go the balls to match your ambition.

    Yes. Else you're robbing the human being of their right to a happy and fulfilling life... but you're all that's on offer, so...

    Brilliant. Let's keep waiting on money before we get on with doing what we're trying to achieve done.

    The balls, and brains, exist. The market, not so much coz money.

    Did your mother tell you that work will kill you?

    Or did you just make that up to cover your lazy arse?
