So much stimulus is being pumped into the system that it will work sooner rather later (in about a year I reckon) - then we will have galloping inflation to worry about.Hard Brexit now!

We're still really in the 20th century.
If you think about it, the 18th century lasted until the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, when the Napoleonic wars ended. Then the 19th century ended at the outbreak of WW1 in 1914.
So by my reckoning, the 20th century will end in a big punch up in around 2015.
But whether that will end the doom, or be just another pause on the way down is debatable. Guess it depends on how many people die, to put it bluntly, as this is ultimately about resources.
(Russia is already in really bad shape, and getting worse. A couple of sailors starved to death recently at the Pacific Fleet HQ in Vladivostok and several more have died of hyperthermia because they can't afford heating in the barracks! The military there are getting pretty fed up. And I shouldn't think China is much better.)Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

You know what...putting another spin on things...if we're ALL totally and completely doomed....does it matter?
I mean, if suddenly ALL of us loose our jobs....if we ALL loose our nice cars, and we ALL run out of money....what happens?
We can't ALL live on the streets can we? Surely we'll all just live simpler lives?
What actually happens if the world collapses? Outright anarchy or just back to basics?
Maybe we should be investing in creating our own water supply, and veg patches, and chickens etc?The pope is a tard.Comment
