Households on 'money knife-edge'

[threaded]

I can predict something: come the morning gray slates will still be grey, unless it has rained and then they'll be black or a seagul 'as been at them and then they'll be white.

HTH

We're all doomed I tell yer!

Now that we've establised that, case closed.

OR surely by now the mods could have a bot writing this repetitve sh1t. It would save me having to read this for the years*days*umpteenth time

Infact I need a bot to be disgusted by it for me.

Always make me laugh when techies try to rise above their code-monkeying and try to become economists. The fact is trained economists can't predict jack tulip, so why should you?
And the reason for that is although many people have tried to quantify economics and make it a hard science like physics, in essence it depends on human crowd behaviour, so is a soft social science.

Fear and greed, that's all you need to understand

thats better, engage in the debate rather than simply trying to prevent debate.

However, without society and "common good" you have anarchy, and anarchy my friend aint good for anyone

The word "anarchy," as most anarchists use it, does not imply chaos, nihilism, or anomie, but rather a harmonious anti-authoritarian society that is based on individual self-determination and personal involvement, but cruciallyyou can still have the concept of society... common good... I think we are wired at birth to care about others or not.

I would prefer to carry my own law and religion rather than have them imposed upon me by the state... in that context I am an anarchist (cue music)

that sounds wonderfully harmonious and smashing and I truly wish that humans could live like that......but, what if my interpretation of my personal "law" does not agree with your personal interpretation of your personal "law" e.g. with regards to property ?

This is one of the reasons why society needs commonly agree shared laws, customs and values

Such things are just illusions. Only those in power want you to have "commonly agreed shared laws" as a method of control and coercion.

in that case, how would you respond to my example of property ownership.

Well if you live there or work in it, then it is yours. If you don't then it is up for anyone who has need of it.

Say you have a farm, if you work or live on the farm then it is yours, if you just own it and someone else works it, then that is theft. You are stealing the product of his efforts.
