Imagine the energy squandered on all the extra goods and services bought by users using a browser owned by an advertising company, instead of Firefox.

Obviously not, because the vast majority were fully up to date with all the usual established jabs.

Fitting, I suppose, that this very discussion has now been censored.

For what is essentially just a mild abrasive plus fluoride, the baffling array of variations on a theme on display, mostly from the same few fmcg conglomerates anyway, is just ridiculous.

Although, strictly speaking the answer should be no, this is not the start of a new financial crisis, it is a continuation of the 2008 crisis.

Now that is patently untrue. For most people 10% wouldn't come close to paying the rent alone.

Managing to hang on until maturity doesn't magically make it turn into a profit, when you consider the time value of money. The bonds are worth so little today precisely because they're only returning the original amount at maturity, plus 200 year low interest.

A disgraceful bailout, if entirely unsurprising.

Shades of "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".

Is it any different over there, albeit for the rather higher limit, in America?

Funny how language is being used to frame all this. For depositors it's made whole, not bailed out, when of course it's no less a bail out.

I'm typing in questions and all I'm getting back are links to pages where someone has asked the same question, and that's only if someone has actually asked that question and published it, and even then there might not be an actual answer on that page. It's a disaster. How did people live like this?

Oh great, and there's me thinking it was only an amusingly trivial contribution to the nation's woes. Now I've got this whole calamity to worry about.

And by the way, the idea that supermarket meat is inedible is absurd. A fillet or sirloin from Tesco, and I'm sure others, is perfectly delicious.
