Economic collapse is accelerating; prepare to vomit with fear

Re: Economic collapse is accelerating; prepare to vomit with fear

Energy inflation appears to be the chosen tool to splatter economies to lift the cost of everything and reduce people into a state of penury.

I wouldn't have believed until the Covid crap emerged that all these governments would sacrifice their populations over a country few people really care two fecks about.

The big problem is Western governments stopped actually doing anything sensible around 20 years ago. Maybe the advent of the internet and instant, short-term soundbites, attention grabbing 'policies' that never worked or materialise, from one election to the next it's been all about headline grabbing and satisfying a public that has developed an ever-diminishing attention span. Want this now, want that now, if don't get it kick up a stink. Energy should have been sorted long term. The ageing population the same. The £6 trillion pension liability [UK], should have been addressed. The trendy approach to food production across Europe. The almost collapse of the [uk] health service. The huge debt mountain of Western democracies. The almost complete cessation of service delivery in the [UK and other nations] civil services and public departments. And it hasn't even begun..

Not to be outdone by their European counterparts
Citizens of Prague have joined the party

PRAGUE - Wenceslas Square 70,000 citizens demand the Government resign for working against the people and lower gas and electricity.

Winter is coming. 🔥

The only place in Europe not seeing what's coming down the pike is the far left in some place called CCMB.

It seems like Johnson's "levelling up" was a misnomer, and the West is actually levelling down!

It looks like Truss has been selected to front the implementation of Blighty's destruction.

The Climate Change Act was brought in 20 years ago which was later updated with a massive commitment to net-zero by 2050. Meeting that target would have to entail closing down manufacturing and to switch production to China, India, etc.

Clues are everywhere indicating the year's been changed to 2030 from 2050 as the hurry-up gathers pace from the 1st of next month

Today's papers are filled with predictive programming discussing the prospect of energy rationing in the UK this winter, or if it's a very cold one, rolling electricity blackouts during January and February.

Previously we were primed to expect the majority of pubs, cafes and restaurants to close their doors for good before long, now we are told to add manufacturers and care homes to the list of businesses who'll be unable to meet their spiralling energy costs.

There will be some upsides, though. Food banks will become a growth industry and funeral directors must be rubbing their hands with glee.

Care to make a prediction for when the people of Somerset will rise up?

I suspect Wales' will be among the last, if not the last, to remove themselves from their settees.

Five shillings was at one time often called a dollar in the UK. That was in the days when the pound was worth four US dollars. Now it's worth one dollar and 15 cents.

Pound falls to lowest level against dollar since 1985 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62817391

Glad that we can agree on something!

Exactly, this is the nuance they seem to deliberately fail to understand

Agree completely. We can all see what is happening - that is not in dispute. The difference of opinion or mindset is around ‘why?’
