WFH is not going to work
nightowl replied to The Angry Capitalist's topic in House prices and the economy
Or worse still they want to impose the personality on their colleagues who are desperately avoiding them ๐ฎ -
Mind you could you imagine meeting HPC folks for a night in the pub๐ฎ Enough to drive you to drink if nothing else will !

The so called inquiry is delayed the module exploring vaccines so clearly something sensitive or awkward in there, the the inquiry has biases still. You would think somebody somewhere would know who decided or accepted at face value the vaccines were better than reality. Given relative few people were party to this decision the number of potential whistle blowers is lower than say the Post Office that delayed a decade to blow up. Not quite the same as someone knows they are at fault for excess deaths, but this decision is still a scandal in itself. Either way, if lockdowns were the primary cause of xs deaths that's is also a scandal in the "cure was worse than the disease" way and again people will have to rationalize their support for it.
-
Fair enough but remember no MSM wasnt questioning anything. The Telegraph recently claimed it was 'lent' on not to report a big and relevant story in 2021. The existence of WMDs was based on (supposed) military intelligence but real life tells us differently. Same with vax performance.
-
Maybe many of us are more cynical, skeptical or just wary of such things.and learnt the hard way WMDs, lockdowns etc. Odd how many at hpc are so wary of the gov, msm, banks on the economy, yet in 2020 switched that ability off. They are are notable by their absence on this thread, which reinforces the rationalization difficulty for some.
-
Clearly people died and injured by the vax, which was completely avoidable as it was built on the back of a huge lie (bigger than WMDs). If we could identify the source of that lie (WHO, JVCI, big Pharma or whoever) it will be easier for people to rationalize their desicions. Thing is, there are additional possibilities for the excess deaths making distinguishing them harder all the same.

Reform Is the 2024 Dark Horse
nightowl replied to Social Justice League's topic in House prices and the economy
It has nothing to do with Nazi or right wing even. The coveted redwall seats are Nazis? Nah. Ukip was Nigel Farage essentially, but it's possible people might go for a faceless Reform as a protest vote kind of thing and cause damage to potentially both main parties. It might depend if they get any media coverage as msm will only source news from the main 2/3 parties so reform won't exist in many people's minds. -
Falling birth rates and unexpected excess deaths in younger age groups...something is going on for sure. They can rationalize these things as "the kids couldn't goto school if not" or "we needed to for travel" and excuse themselves. Enough peoples experience of 'the stab' was without serious side effects so will see it as "all's well that ends well" in the same way as someone unwittingly playing Russian roulette and gets an empty chamber doesnt see any risk in the game they played. Ie might not be as resistant to the truth as you might initially think. Afterall everyone now knows the lie about Iraq's WMDs, even if they supported/tolerated the invasion at the time. The decision to keep Syria and Libya at arm's length was a result of that quiet realisation.
-
As tempting as it is to blame the gov, remember younger folk don't drink as much too. They spend their cash on avocado on toast remember!
-
The saying goes something like "it's easier to fool people then tell them theyve been fooled". For the covidians / vax Nazis denial is their only salvation, but the public might stomach a certain amount of revelation if released slowly - if they believed the BS they might believe the truth too! A change in Ofcom censorship rules is one step. Sage members, present journalists, civil service members etc retiring will allow for more objective reflection.

Plus I think it will take a generation before there's a wider realisation thing werent as they seemed during 2020-22.slowing it all up.
-
Next scandal? It ought to be but given it's taken over a decade for post office one to hit and even then the only because of a TV drama. PPE & Mone etc will be the sacrificial scandal allowed, as it's clear the delayed, so called inquiry won't dig much up apart from naughty words on WhatsApp. Don't hold you socially distanced breath on this one being soon.

Chinese Shadow Bank Files For Bankrupsy
nightowl replied to Social Justice League's topic in House prices and the economy
Wow two pages and no lecture from Zugs on how superior the Chinese way of running things is, and how this sort of thing only happens in the west.๐. Time yet I suppose... -
Tesla...............the Betamax of future cars?
nightowl replied to Maghull Mike's topic in House prices and the economy
What's the limiting factor with typical EV motors if say you just push more current through the windings? Is there any difference with permanent magnets vs non permanent? -
We see your putting your hat in the ring for "most moronic poster 2024" award already๐ There are safer seats than other statistically but no point agonising over which given the overall risk. Incidentally, the Wright brothers famous first flight ended what would be classified as a crash rendering the plane unflyable.
-
I think they have found the door now. DC10s suffered cargo door failures before so not the first example of this sort of problem although one DC10 didnt survive this minor issue well so this Max9 could have done worse. Another old B737 had its whole roff rip off like a sun roof in Hawawii and held together and landed, so maybe not the worst plane to be it all things considered.
-
Its immediate rival the A320 dates back to the late 80s an still going strong, but the B737 is the oldest design in regular use by quite a margin. I guess Boeing had their reasons not to use the B757 as a basis of a revised B737 which superfically makes more sense . Ah, but without western planes (or anything else) where is China going to get its new designs from? ๐

Tesla...............the Betamax of future cars?
nightowl replied to Maghull Mike's topic in House prices and the economy
Govs will change taxes on the point of sale but don't dictate companies production line schedules...except in the old Soviet union style world. Of course assuming these ideas originate from govs and not external external organisations here. The fossil fuel lobbying your obsessed with don't exist in isolation ๐ -
Tesla...............the Betamax of future cars?
nightowl replied to Maghull Mike's topic in House prices and the economy
There is an issue govs are directly dictating production planning of private businesses rather than supply and demand. All a bit Soviet union like.... But that's the kind of world we are blindly heading into I suppose.
