    Ok, well the deregulation for a start. All to make rich people even richer and further exploit everyone else.

    With this, comes poverty. And everyone is a cunt when they're poor.

    Doom and gloom Americans are already insufferable, but people living elsewhere? That is just the most perennially online shit out there.

    Yeah, I'm not sure how that's coming for Jimmy any more than it already is. Inequality has been increasing for decades. I'm not sure we can lay this particular hot potato at Trumps door.

    He's not the disease, but you can argue he's very significant symptom, and sure as shit isn't the cure.

    He's enabling it. It isn't uncomfortable to be a cunt anymore and we've seen historically what doors that opens.

    Good luck everyone.

    You need to stop downing the Caledonian kool aid. Real world is the Chinese swamping everyone with cheap manufacturing and establishing massive trade surpluses to have us all by the short and curlies in perpetuity. If we're to avoid this sort of thing we will need to wave goodbye to all the self-indulgent bullshit of the first twenty years of the century, and return to being leaner and meaner. That is, if we want to afford to be able to do any of the stuff you want - paying for lavish public services and being nice to each other.

    I don't think even the elites know what the future looks like. AI and globalism are the future and I imagine the next 100 years will see the world looking as unfamiliar to us as today's would to someone in 1925. Be that for better, for worse or somewhere in the middle. It's happening folks.

    In terms of wealth distribution things are heading back towards what they were in 1925, so maybe the world wouldn't look so different to Lady Astor 150 years later.

    I think they do. They've got even more of the global wealth. Quite simple.

    Stop being so pessimistic. AI might take all the money for its self and be walking us on leads within a decade. Equality for all mankind.

    Fine. I'd rather serve Cyberdyne Systems (fully controlled and ran by AI) than some rich, white land-owning elitist cunt.

    Probably more coming over here and driving up the price of everything whilst feathering the nests of a small elite and dodging taxes on an industrial scale. It's what happens when you are a tax haven. It's not great but is probably on balance better than not being one, although the significant impact on 'normal people' is usually overlooked.

    A quick Google has their inflation at less than half of ours. Plus, they're actually reducing their national debt.

    Yep exactly. But only lean times are going to see how absolutely incompetent the status quo is, there's too many people far too comfortable to care about the bigger picture.

    I don't think it's great to rely so heavily on US investment but I think you're insane for wanting the sort of recession/depression that would bring.

    Haven't they set up a sovereign wealth fund from the Apple tax windfall the EU made them accept? Isn't that good?

    Look up things like the new childrens hospital or Dublin metro and see what this lot will do with any windfall. Not to mention what is being squandered on immigration.

    I love Inauguration days. The people that attend them - and get interviewed in the street - are the American version of the weirdo's that line the street to see the Queen King drive past in a car. They're always mentaly deficient with not even a tiny grasp on reality.

    Feels like the idea of a 'pre-emptive pardon' is a bit of a jumping of the shark moment for American democracy. What the fuck is that?

    Bit like how it is apparently completely ok for the President to bowl in on day 1 and go yeah, we're not going to do that concerning laws passed by congress on a bi-partisan [or to be honest any] basis. I thought the yanks couldn't get enough of the separation of powers and now, as Jimmy has previously pointed out, they basically have an old-fashioned king.
