I have been doing it for something like 8 months now. If your digestion is an issue, try reducing fibre. Without getting into the details, my digestion has never been better than now and I used to eat loads of fibre. Wholemeal bread has a worse effect on your blood glucose than white. Brown rice is more irritating to your gut than white. Rice and bread are processed carbs, regardless how you package them. Pasta is terrible as are crisps and chips. The foods people eat are adultered beyond belief.

That's it as well, these figures are per-unit and not sq.ft. On that basis, we are probably stretched to absurd levels.

I read a joke that went something like The people moving from Alabama to Texas are raising the IQ in both States That graph is an average for the UK right? What if the house prices outside London are skewing the average price down, while the salaries in London are skewing the average earnings up? The situation could be worse across the board

It Is the same. Refined carbs are actual poison and are at the root of today's diseases, which are really a manifestation of metabolic syndrome (type II diabetes) Your weight is not as relevant as Blood pressure waist circumference visceral fat HDL:trig ratio GGT All of which see dramatic improvements with well formulated low carb diets. Blood pressure falls within 2 weeks. You can feed isocaloric low carb diets to people and their weight and body fat will decrease while muscle mass usually goes u, so it is not a result of calorie resriction.

The government The government The government Yes, that is my point No, they are the same thing. Corporations are a part of the government. The government Uses guns (or hyperviolence) to punish people for manufacturing, selling and using drugs. This means that only criminals profit off of drugs, which is why there is so much violence around them Steals from non-criminals, pushing down their fertility rates and economic influence in society. Evolution (in the darwinian sense) towards a criminal archetype because... it gives this stolen cash to irresponsible people (single mothers, criminals etc), pushing up their fertility rate and economic influence on society No government = no scope for a black market = less economic opportunity for irresponsible people As stated above, the problem will automatically be smaller to begin with. I, and I'm sure most people, would be happy to pay for a patrol and rapid response team. As weapons of all sorts will be available, it will be extremely risky to rob productive people, who may well kill you in response. You seem extremely confused. Are you trying to convince me that governments are a bad thing?

"I've done the non-smoking thing and yes you reduce your lung cancer risk initially, but as soon as the fags go back, you have the same risk as before"

If that is your criterion for whether an activity is privately or publicly managed, then you have a very narrow, mainstream view of economics and morality.

As opposed to the absolute dog (and rapidly declining) public versions of those we have now? AKA the government AKA the government https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47056339 Do you think that the governments of the West going in there using our stolen cash and blowing up brown children might have had an effect on the regions? Yes, I know you're going to say "Well clearly a government is needed to protect you from other governments". This is identical to saying that women in forced marriages should accept being raped daily by their husbands in order to protect them from being raped weekly by strangers. At some point, you need to start presenting arguments which support your position and not mine. Nope, I am stating the fact that it is morally indistinguishable from robbery.

You know, I was actually skeptical myself, however I looked and am now firmly of the opinion that the EU is largely to blame https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A31991L0440 Here is how to genuinely privatise the rail system: All State contracts pertaining to the rails and their management are hereby null and void Any and all agents may bid for possession of any and all rail land, equipment and personnel, where covenants regarding tangential property such as bridges are to remain intact. Planning permission will not be required for the construction of new rail or its support capital, however eminent domain is strictly prohibited from invocation. Basically, "You are on your own, fckers. If you can make money out of this, good luck!" If it falls out of the scope of these points, it was never privatised. Given the shite level of pricing and service we have, I will laugh at arguments alleging that this will be worse for rail customers in general after a year or two.

A People gets the government they deserve. Today, there is 1) no money left 2) an expectation of something for nothing 3) a preference for easy lies over a difficult truth So you end up with lies promising bailouts for free while in reality everyone will get nothing.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with living together as a close family. People are taking up exorbitant amounts of space- another factor which has driven up house prices and is coming to an end. I saw this about covidiots https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52124554 What an absolute mong *shudder*

Corporations are a branch of the government, so you are simply supporting my position. Which is why we cannot have an institution which claims the exclusive moral right to initiate violence against peaceful people. You seem not to know the first thing about my position, although I have laid it out often and clearly. Initiating violence against peaceful people is always evil. Everything else flows from that. If anyone disagrees with me, it is because they think it is ever right to shoot innocent people. That is the bottom line. If you believe you have an example of a government action which does not have a direct chain of causality to shooting innocent people, I can break down for you how it does. Similarly, if you believe that peaceful (non-government) actions are ever initiating violence (some people have been brainwashed into "property is theft"), I can break down and demonstrate how they are not.

Lol, wrong. Yes, it is called a free market, where banks don't get bailed out by people robbed at gunpoint and so have an incentive not to lend out at 7 x your wage. I agree, but the question was how to fix the economy, which is by massive reduction in violence aka cutting back the size and power of the State. What will actually happen is that control freaks like jonb2 will get their commie paradise. They are the figurehead which helps maintain the illusion that the government actually exists. The sole purpose of the government is to extract on behalf of the politically well-connected the maximum amount of resources from the populace, while minimising the chance that they will successfully rebel.

Cut taxes Cut regulations Cut benefits Done.

Gilts are a promise to collect taxes in the future. It is in the name; guilt is what you should feel. Nope. The government collects the ticket revenue, determines timetabling, determines the number and capacity of rolling stock on each route and pays the rail "providers" on a fixed contract. This is why the service is absolutely ghastly while being 4-5 times overpriced.

Kind of these rat bastards to include a chart which shows why this is a problem and what the solution is

He is not referring to the act of privatisation, but the manner of it. It is true that the rails did not get privatised here, but merely turned into some Frankensteinien monster with the surface appearance of a private entity, but entirely State funded and managed. Whether that had anything to do with EU regulations, I do not know.

The economy is done. The collapse is on hold until people emerge from Chinese Flu lockdowns, but when they do there will be little to go back to. Thankfully, this means that we finally have the opportunity to start going back to an economy which actually makes things and technology and is not a vapid, predatory socialist redistributionary pile of garbage. Then maybe we can go back to eliminating poverty, as we were before the commies took over.

Interest rates control themselves in the long term. The government has the same ability to control rates as you do to hold a balloon underwater.

While I am pissed off at this, it really does not matter. It does not address the fundamental, systemic reasons why house prices are doomed to collapse in real terms and will just make the collapse harder in both real and nominal terms. Think on this: delaying surgery for cancer patients due to WuFlu will drop the death rate in the near term, but those people still have cancer and it will be worse for a delay of treatment. In the housing market, almost everyone is a cancer patient.

This claim is not credible. They have sources of info far deeper than me and I was saying in January that we need to shut down all travel with China.

Most people who are able to support others are happy to do so voluntarily. When you start robbing them with taxation, then you run into problems as they become less inclined to produce, knowing that a lot if not most of it is going to be taken from them at gunpoint. εἴ τις οὐ θέλει ἐργάζεσθαι μηδὲ ἐσθιέτω

Not if they can't get a mortgage.

Presumably buying on the way down to justify selling on the way up
