It's got to be fairer than what we have now where the money goes into the pockets of the banks shareholders.

Who creates the Currency? Is the bank, the central bank.

The whole thing is ludicrous. Interest rates should have started rising in 2017. Instead, central bank's decided to leave them on hold or send them into negative territory to appease the likes of Trump, Morrison, Tory conservatives & other ****ers in Europe.

I can't be assed. Reason we're in this mess in the first place is because the US decided to print $20 Trillion worth of money. You know because "they control the currency".

The reasoning behind is to cheapen the cost of money. The problem they are trying to cover up is the global economic slowdown. The 2008 bank crisis did not went away, was papered over by absorbing into the gov all the toxic assets.

When the cost of the currency is 0 corporations take advantage like drunken sailors pouring gasoline into the fire to put it out.

That did not solved the issue, only postponed the inevitable.

Central Banks are out of ammo. What needs to happen is to let it all crash, there is no other way, there is no fixing. This is the end my friend.

The idea came from an idiot called Ben Bernanke that won a Nobel Price for the shît-show that we are watching now.

Ben Shalom Bernanke[2] (/bərˈnæŋki/ bər-NANG-kee; born December 13, 1953) is an American economist who served as the 14th chairman of the Federal Reserve from 2006 to 2014.

Not the " US", is the Fed Reserve that is not Federal and has no Reserves. Is a private bank that has owners and pay dividends to the board members. The US Congress borrows the currency in credit with Treasury Bonds, and they go out and spent it on all sorts of pork, social programs and wars.

Now they are asking for an increase of that line of credit "debt ceiling." If not, the gov have to make ends meet with last years budget.

The banks and the gov do not get to use the Cantillon Effect, and have to work with devalued currency. That is why the whole scare/crying of the gov shutdown is all about.

Since the USD is the global reserve currency, whatever the Fed Res does it does affect the world.

Was in and around Derby a few years ago. Stories going around that locals would go out and “facelift” the paint on cave paintings..
Yes, have heard about some paintings that have been preserved in The Centre.

From memory, I think these were Raft Point, and we walked about 1km from the beach to a small 'cave' which we had to wriggle into by laying on our back, and the paintings were on the 'ceiling'.
Not really a place for re-decorating a $$$ tourist attraction.

Gender reveal parties.

I still don't see the point in them. Dragging your friends out for half a day to a full day to learn what gender your child is that to be honest, nobody but yourselves really cares about.

Even if it was one of my closest friends, it makes no difference to me what gender their child will be. While I'm happy they are becoming parents etc I really don't need to spend half a day finding out what gender YOUR child is going to be.

The problem is, these aren't replacing baby showers these are now an additional party/social gathering on top of that. So it's just more attention seeking of new parents wanting to be the centre of everyones universe because they are having a child.

And don't even get me started on the cringey things they do at these parties (cutting a cake to see what colour is inside, pink/blue burnouts, popping balloons to see what colour confetti is inside etc) and then all the friends and family having to forcibly act all excited for the news etc.

I don't know maybe I'm just old school but I really don't think the fact that you had s*x needs to stop everyones lives for a party.
haha going from that info, it sounds like from your experience that you have been to a few @ not happy jan
