Ah bless, the dotard with some completely irrelevant bollux
in an increasingly cognitively-demanding world (particularly in a non-manufacturing knowledge/services economy like the UK) who on earth do Brexiters expect to make the country great
https://www.theguardian.com/business...ajor-economies
The rapid expansion of mainly low-level service jobs that carry low levels of pay is another reason. In France and Germany, the coffee shop and online delivery culture is still in its infancy by comparison with the UK. These are businesses that provide a valued but unsophisticated service with limited room for productivity improvements.
It means the UK has lower unemployment and a bigger workforce, with fewer people economically inactive than France – but lower productivity and lower pay.
In France, and to a lesser extent Germany, restrictions on working hours are other factors at play. For instance, widespread industrial pay bargaining and limits on redundancies make hiring workers a more costly proposition than in the UK. This encourages French and German firms to invest in the latest machinery and limit employment.bloggoth

But if you're equating wealth with intelligence then surely Beckham is more intelligent than Einstein?
Not to mention that your examples are the exception who prove the rule. Surely a simple concept to understand?
And you call me a cock-womble?
Thanks for proving my point.Last edited by sasguru; 25 September 2017, 18:27.Hard Brexit now!

If the insanity ends in the right way i.e. a hard Brexit there may yet be oppos to become a multimillionaire.Hard Brexit now!
