Why you need a rate rise

[xoggoth]

Yes, but they spawn at an enormously increased rate to make up for it.

[Lockhouse]

Yes, and any contractor who has been around a while will tell you: the higher the rate the less work you'll have to do!

Totally agree. All the best paying contracts that I've had have all been really slow and boring, whilst scrabbling around for 6K per month in the last recession was bl**dy hard work.

[Pondlife]

Yup.

Feed them chip butties and deep fried battered Mars bars.

Problem solved.

I think they're doing fine with their Mclunch and family size dinner bucket.

Does this mean that if the chav welfare draining underclass are going to die at an early age we won't have a pension crisis?

I do hope so.

It might make you live longer

People from poorer backgrounds are more unhealthy and die earlier than the rich, according a study measuring the link between health and wealth.
Poorer people in their fifties were 10 times more likely to die earlier than those who are richer, the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) said.

That was despite an "even distribution in the quality of healthcare between different wealth groups", the IFS said.


Therefore, the higher your rate, the longer you'll live. Which was nice.
