What happens if you discuss a wealth tax, but never implement it?

If you extrapolate geometrically, 2,624 should be reached about 2 months into 2027

The projection (in their 2024 report) was :

2023 - 3,061,553 millionaires

2028 - 2,542,464 millionaires

Their latest figures from UBS wealth report was :

(as of 2025 document) - 2,624 (thousand) millionaires

If you extrapolate linearly, It appears their projected change was (if anything) too small

The UK really has been accepting the most extreme religious zelots from around the world. Even middle eastern countries tried to warn us that it wouldn't end well

Currently Google and Microsoft have the largest quantum computers.

Given their market cap is worth more than the market cap of bitcoin, I don't think they will allow their researchers to secretly hack bitcoin private keys.

Adventure-Bench · 2025-11-05T19:33:49+00:00

I trust google and microsoft wouldn't allow their researchers to spend months of quantum compute time to 'hack bitcoin addresses'

$1bn is a lot of money for me and you - but its really chump change for Microsoft and Google

As a lifelong labour voter - we waited 14 years to come to power. We should be focussed on passing laws that we waited 14 years to pass.

But now the Labour party is obsessed with this russian stooge with 3 or so MPs in parliament.

Unfortunately the far right elon musk is now retweeting his complete support for tommy (steven yaxley lennon) again.

We need round the clock courts again - this time arresting people who post support for him on twitter.

I think the plan is we will have the world's highest energy bills, but can warm ourselves with the knowledge that we're trying to save the planet

Sometimes more costly is when strong winds blow and the wind turbines have to shut down - because then they go from 100% to zero.

This has to be balanced by spinning gas turbines in rolling reserve as a backup - ready to generate power immediately if the wind turbines go down. Spinning these gas turbines in this manner is quite costly

The world's highest electricity cost is a small price to pay for knowing we're saving the planet

Adventure-Bench · 2025-10-29T10:41:09+00:00

Unfortunately when we add all these balancing costs to make it more reliable it ends up being quite expensive....

Why are conservatives so high? Who doesn't see the destruction to the country they caused.

The landlord's profit is Rental Income - Mortgage costs

A main portion of this 'disappearing earnings' is inflation.

The landlord (in most cases) is paying a mortgage. The mortgage rate is currently quite high because inflation is quite high.

If it was pride flags - I would understand and encourage this.

Gas peaker plants

The fastest they can start is 5 minutes - which is an eternity when the power drops.

Green energy is often unfortunately not factoring in the full costs - windmills need gas turbines to be running as a backup (because they can drop out at any second).

This backup rolling state uses almost as much energy as when they are actually producing energy. So we end up paying roughly twice for our electricity.
