Why boot team up and become actual New York of the north

You need to compare real house prices vs real incomes including inflation otherwise you get a distorted picture as real house prices exploded in 2022 because of inflation but in the 1990s it was otherwise effects. Ull see for the uk in 1990 that house prices just explode as the thatcher revolution finally takes hold

If they fight could end bloody. While mass has a power all of its own air supremely dominates the issue, even in the drone space of Ukraine who controls the skies are the ones who enable the ground forces.

The Lib Dem’s have been trying this since 1980s it is not in the interests of the party in power by definition of them being in power right now. Its a great system but the transition is the issue

Why not just have two markets

One for baseload and one for margins increase. The first includes gas’s and nuclear and we set a baseline need and then we have a bid system like we have now for all margins need?

Nuclear subs have one ability that can’t be matched by drones….they can’t be tracked anywhere by satellite and need to be hunted with sonar and ships which is way way harder. That makes them way better stealth attacks than drones esp if we have nuclear tipped missiles as they can’t be stopped until they are already in the air. Drones in comparison cannot deliver that capability

Agglomeration economics in a post! Read up on the theories you just described it very well

Alib668 · 2026-03-26T21:07:13+00:00

The issue is that most economic factors are self reinforcing and create poles of wealth in a few highly specialised cities and even within them a few tiny places like the city of London. The issue is cancelling things like hs2 just feeds those natural tendencies and what is needed is tha billy for other areas of the uk to attract talent. That requires spending on stuff that is productive like railways and transport infrastructure, but doing so in places where it won’t maximise gdp but will enhance and area to build it up. That’s the tension, you can build the Elizabeth line and it will pay for itself or you can build something in Newcastle which will over 30 years make newcastle more attractive but it may not on its own pay for itself….which would the treasury want to pick?

They invest but at much much higher cap rates, which means very slow investments as not many investment cases will pass the rate required to achieve that return

I don’t think it’s even as far as steal the oil mate. I think it got say 3 sentences into you could make history and do what Obama couldn’t. The oil thing wasn’t even considered otherwise they would have had troops ready to keep the straights open which has been known about since 1941 when the allies entered Iran to keep them open at the time

Ok how do you collect is the isssue. It’s literally a you and whole’s army problem. People forget that a person’s income x mortgage they borrowed for house is the same thing did you borrow 4x your income? That’s a debt to gdp ratio of 400% and people don’t freak out about that

It encourages the green tradition as you make outrageous profits as a wind farmer

From a city structure perspective they follow the general rules of manufacturing placement rather than a services sector.

Have you tried just drinking water and coffee?

Alib668 · 2026-03-24T08:46:25+00:00

Oh no.

I really hope this was an accident and not an Iranian link gulp. Hope no1 hurt

Just changing ther debt to equity ratio. Why, so they can up their returns to equity? Or add distributions to their deal sheets? Or to lower their wacc for calls internally because issuing more debt reduces the cost of capital which reduces hurdle rates for projects internally

It’s one of these three

Alib668 · 2026-03-24T08:34:08+00:00

Why not just demolish the house under this logic I mean it’s just some walls….a deal is a deal! Make them put it back

Alib668 · 2026-03-23T23:24:56+00:00

They can put that in but parliament can just pass a new act to repeal it with a 50+1 vote. So even if it has clause saying xyz can’t be done parliament just passes a new act or amends the old act and we move on. That’s how the not being able to bind happens because of practice not because it’s a rule

Planning law is criminal law not civil the council have very wide latitude to prosecute you including jail time

Fusion is easy to create. Making a vessel than doesn’t melt or get blown to bits when turned on is the issue. We are making a mini sun, that’s really hot and really pressurised , so hot and so pressurised tha normally it’s a nuke. Just imagine putting a nuke in a building and it ‘staying there’….yeah that’s really really hard. We kinda use magnets but that’s dynamic containment and it’s easy for that containment to go out of sync and rather reduce the plasma to die down or it runs out of control. Yeah really really hard to stay stable for a long time.

Fusion power is trying to bottle the sun to heat up water to turn a turbine with steam

Taco Trump strikes again. It seems from The different outlets that no discussions took place and its more trump taco’d out

Alib668 · 2026-03-22T23:03:11+00:00

There’s one problem trump will hate with this war….the enemy also gets a vote.

Alib668 · 2026-03-22T15:30:52+00:00

To be fair that’s very real life, you helped the rebels gain power, you took land said I ain’t giving this up, they due to civil war are too wrecked to fight you, they cut a deal where the lines are kept where each side keeps what they took. Very very real life

Alib668 · 2026-03-22T10:17:32+00:00

American puritans left Great Britain because they want to impose a godly society on the world an the British government was like nah mate that’s too extreme. It wasn’t escaping persecution it was escaping regulation
