This is what I'm finding completely remarkable Matty, stock market aside. It's looking like there's a significant enough amount of boomers who didn't pay off their mortgages. I don't understand how somebody could be that retarded with their own personal finances. You'd think if they were going to be greedy gaslighting psychopaths they'd do it the right way and make sure they'd be in a good position no matter what but apparently no.
It would be so fucking funny if it turns out all these rich people are leveraged to hell with debt and have been wildly spending beyond their means for the sake of social appearances. Nuuuuuu! You've got to keep our property and stock market scams going I want my third Lamborghini before I turn 80!
"Any such exemption would be controversial because the tax is designed to support UK steel producers by levelling the playing field with countries that have a lower or no carbon levy."
It's almost as if climate change and the green agenda is deliberately anti-competitive to give countries like India and China an unfair advantage globally when they'd otherwise be complete shit in a true free market.
Then they get the western population to accept it via extremely insistent government psyops and doing their climate change cult mantras to scare everybody into compliance and make people virtue signal.
At this rate if I can't get into Japan as a first choice I really will consider just fleeing to America.
The peer pressure is intense, but it is one of those things where you've got to throw that out the window for the sake of self-preservation and it looks like most people haven't. A tradesmen I worked with on my house awhile ago chatted to me about this and he and I clearly had the same mentality and he was simply asking "I don't understand how they can afford any of it" and of course I responded that they can't.
I view bankers selling cheap credit on the same level as drug dealers.
Even if you succeeded and did quite well for yourself there are tons of degree holders who don't have jobs or are trapped in minimum wage work. I opted out of university as well because I did the maths.
When it comes to the middle class champagne socialists, again, doing the maths on them. You realise these are people barely able to afford shit and screeeing on social media. They get themselves further and further into debt to maintain a lifestyle they can't afford for the sake of appearances and will take the piss out of people who don't dress like they do and come from a different background.
It's quite funny because like western women when they're dating who are usually from the same background they don't understand that people who have actual wealth, cash in the bank or assets are low key as fuck about it. The reason being is because they understand showing off wealth makes you a target.
Seeing that there are people who are buying holidays on credit is pretty disturbing to me, I don't do anything like that shit.
Edit: It's worth pointing out, don't ever compare your lifestyle to those sorts of retards. I've been fascinated digging into the finances of youtubers etc. who make it big but they immediately get themselves into a hole among other things because they're trying to maintain the rich lifestyle.
Absolute ghetto trash the lot of them, they don't know anything about managing finances so even when they get their big break they sabotage themselves.
No joke that's exactly what I do and I'm a mortgage free home owner LOL. If I can get myself to Japan I might marginally smarten myself up so the Japanese don't freak out about me.
The main point is, if you're not riddled with debt or completely debt free you're generally doing a hundred times better than most people. It's a bit like how if you're not a fatty and do weight lifting on the regular you're better than a significant chunk of the population in most countries.
Holy fuck it's even worse than the previous article indicated, it's looking like it's an outright ban that's not even that far off, this is the WEF doing a clamp down on Britain because the UK and Europe are the only places they still control.
I get it, it's all about trade offs and depends on what you're doing, I tend to get really absorbed so I realised having to recharge the damn battery constantly was extremely annoying.
If it makes you feel any better most tech startups are outright scams. It's usually some kind of pet project by a trust fund baby which is why they're often in their 20's and usually their main goal is to farm ESG money or get themselves bought out by a company like Google or Microsoft.
Their goal isn't to actually make a product it's to fake growth and then rug pull all their employees and investors while they run off with the cash. It's pretty impressive in a way because of how common it is, this is why you see them using buzzwords like how they're a fast growing startup. They're hiring all these employees in order to fake growth and then they use crap like crypto and AI to attract retards who don't know anything about it but they just know that they're supposed to be fast growing industries.
Have you noticed for example how games companies like EA are trying to promote AI? That's just another side of the scam, the product itself is garbage, but it won't matter to them if they can get someone rich and dumb enough to by into it.
I should point out as well that DEI and ESG are another big part of this. To show I'm not playing favourites Elon Musk is doing the same bullshit with his H1B visa simping for Indians, this is how these CEOs make money and keep failing upward.
In case any of you had any doubts about Nigel Farage being controlled opposition the lotus eaters guys are going into autistic levels of detail about the recent councillor defection which includes one Labour TERF.
It's very much looking like he was using mass migration as a campaign issue and then when he got popular enough and started attracting mainstream attention the scam was to rug pull the people that put him there and get other politicians on board.
Then when the cameras are off he is an absolute primadonna to everyone around him and treats people like they're the 'help'. He's got a real rotten attitude and it looks like his backstabbing and mean girl behaviour on top of it has made him one too many enemies and even the normies have finally got fed up of him after he decided to go mean girl on Rupert Lowe because he was getting more popular.
It's quite funny because boomers don't seem to understand how the internet never forgets and he can still be recorded these days if people are determined enough to archive him KiwiFarms style and he starts sperging out enough in his social circles.
You'd be so fucking surprised @Rasterman lol, it's like how these days you could walk into most corporate buildings with a high visibility jacket and a clipboard no questions asked.
In his defence, Elon Musk probably has thousands of lines of shitty spaghetti code to contend with on that site. He's only realistically been in charge of twitter for a short while and he likely hasn't found every exploit and glitch that could be on there.
Also Indian contracted programmers. The only reason that companies don't get targeted more often is purely because most hackers aren't the type of person cause total chaos for no reason even though they absolutely could.
I'm just looking at it from the outside, but ask anybody who's actually worked in the biz, they know, I've had to explain this to normies. I could cause so many problems for a company if I really wanted to just by physically turning up there and I don't have any of the l33t hacking skills to get into stuff remotely.
Next up I'm going to be importing all the Blender work I've done with the animations and new armatures. Then I can get to coding in features and showing off gameplay again.
As a Brit I completely disavow lol, by the way there's this channel I watch regularly called AbroadInJapan which is total normie stuff and this British guy on there cooked a steak on a cold pan and everybody was in agreement how bad it was.
I don't know how the British got this bad at cooking but I disavow, I think I need to redeem the UK by posting up my food.
