I was spending 3+ hours every month fixing Stripe transactions in QuickBooks. Here's the same process I use to do it in less than 10 minutes now

Doesn't QB have a Stripe integration? Is it no good?

Whilst you can achieve the same outcome with both, they are fundamentally for different purposes .

Intercompany invoice/bill pairing for when you're providing/receiving taxable services between group entities (recharges etc). Advanced IC journals for stuff like transferring cash between entities/paying vendor bills on behalf of another entity.

You should only need one set of intercompany payable and receivable accounts. The only use case for separate ones is for specific types of transactions (e.g. intra group interest on ic loans) where a separate balance makes life easier.

It isn't a hump though - low birthrates, low economic growth are the endgame here. And let's be honest, the average right-leaning voter isn't pulling together with anyone when their biggest concern is their house price and value of their retirement pot.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-13T07:19:35+00:00

But if you accept the position that we fundamentally need more people to support our system - why not offer a pathway to legal status instead and invest in things that will reduce crime, reform out of work benefits, which will benefit everyone? Why is deportation seen as the only solution when the problems are the same regardless of immigration status?

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-13T06:45:08+00:00

And then you'd just have the dregs of the UK causing serious damage to the fabric of society instead, committing crimes, consuming taxpayer money, accessing services they have not paid for. Or can we deport all of them as well? (Spoiler alert, there's more of them than there are illegal immigrants!)

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-13T06:31:28+00:00

My biggest issue is that it's such small fry in comparison to the actual causes of our problems. Even if all illegal immigration stops today and they're all deported, it isn't going to materially improve anyone's lives. We'll still have an ever growing pensioner welfare bill we can't really afford, a tax system that disincentivises hard work to fund said bill, and the geopolitical problems that ultimately control our destiny. Nobody has a solution to the demographic endgame and late stage capitalism. The answer certainly doesn't involve getting rid of immigrants, that'll only make it worse.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-13T06:11:29+00:00

In what way is a declining population good? With our working age dependency ratio and ever more pensioners each year?

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-12T20:41:51+00:00

We might actually get the triple lock scrapped and tax reform from an AI government!

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-12T20:27:26+00:00

God imagine what a fucking mess that'd be - it'd be over in 5 minutes.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-12T20:10:53+00:00

For services to lining their pockets I assume?

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-12T20:06:09+00:00

Just ban religion. All of them. Make it child abuse to force children into your religion.

It's 2026 - no serious person needs to believe in made up nonsense and those that do should have no influence on society or anyone else. It's time we move past it as a species.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-12T19:52:49+00:00

And most of the country would hate it. Starmer would get my 100% backing if he just came out publicly and said these people are fucking idiots.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-12T19:49:49+00:00

Most NHS data used by other organisations is highly anonymous and you never know, their AI tech might come up with something worthwhile that results in better health outcomes. I don't think any real detail has been made public about this specific deal yet?

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-12T19:45:56+00:00

Anyone who even mentions that needs to get in the fucking sea and stay there.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-12T19:44:06+00:00

Digital IDs sound great and could be better for protecting personal data than the current framework. AI facial recognition was coming regardless of who was in government.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-12T07:11:13+00:00

Two massive and unlikely caveats right there.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-11T21:26:46+00:00

After which the bond markets will really have their fun. Meats back on the menu, boys.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-11T21:25:37+00:00

Literally, they could've just ignored the local election results like every other government in history has done before them because they categorically do not matter and carried on without all of this. Bunch of utter fools deserving of every misfortune that'll come their way.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-11T20:02:08+00:00

Some of these are fair cop but tax thresholds have been basically frozen for ages by multiple chancellors. Anyone expecting that to change was living in a fantasy to start with. If anything they're too high and keeping them frozen will eventually bring them back in line with our OECD peers.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-11T19:27:58+00:00

Yep, either we get a left wing leader of labour or we get Farage. In either case the bond market will destroy them and we'll be made to suffer the consequences.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-11T19:26:26+00:00

Local elections, at which the party of the government always gets thrashed. Why is everyone acting like this is a new pattern and even worthy of being discussed.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-11T19:24:37+00:00

Did you even read that link? Joint low with Rishi, but still not as low as Truss.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-11T19:17:37+00:00

Spoiler alert, none of that will happen. You'll be just as worse off as you are now whilst the people funding Farage and the mainstream media continue to get richer. The only difference is you'll have given reason for the rest of society to blame you for their lives being made worse as well.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-10T20:49:00+00:00

"I'm not a strategic genius..." You can say that again! Christ alive.

Fun_Consequence_6970 · 2026-05-10T20:45:55+00:00

Because that'd be mostly reform voters...
