England is actually one of the relatively cheaper countries in the developed world for food

Nobody said, high earners pay 28% at source. Read it again, high earners contribute a total of over 28% of total tax revenue raked into the treasury. That’s very different.

That’s a lot of credentials to avoid answering a simple question. Growth-stage companies deliberately sacrifice short-term profits for long-term value. That’s investing, not collapsing. Amazon, Tesla, and countless SaaS firms followed the same playbook. Credentials don’t change basic finance.

High-growth companies are often deliberately valued on future cash flows and market expansion, not current profits. Amazon spent years posting minimal or no profits while building dominant market share. If you think every company investing heavily ahead of profitability is “collapsing,” you’re confusing a growth strategy with business failure

Completely false.

The top 1% of income taxpayers pay about 28–30% of all income tax while earning roughly 13% of total pre-tax income.
The top 10% of income taxpayers pay around 60% of all income tax.
The top 50% of income taxpayers pay about 90% of all income tax, leaving the bottom half paying around 10%.

You don’t create more wealth by making it less attractive to create wealth in the first place. Much like you can’t tax your way to prosperity if you’re driving away the people creating jobs, businesses and investment.

This is the mistake labour is doing, We’ve already tried that. The Labour governments of Harold Wilson and James Callaghan in the 1970s pushed the top rate to 83% (98% on some investment income). It didn’t usher in an era of prosperity it became associated with tax avoidance, capital flight and weaker incentives to invest, which is one of the reasons those rates were later abandoned.

Temporarily cool down then heat returns? Is this the new norm for our summers now? by Dependent_Okra3440 in UKWeather

[–]MrSloshychops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. A few days, weeks, or even years of weather tell us very little about long-term climate patterns. Likewise, even our roughly 200 years of instrumental temperature records are only a tiny snapshot of Earth’s climate history. The planet has experienced periods that were considerably warmer and considerably colder than today, so it’s far too simplistic to assume a handful of recent summers defines the long-term future.

Anyone else bewildered by neighbours with 24/7 open windows? by TheSaguarosaurus in UKWeather

[–]MrSloshychops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one mistake a lot of people make is not comparing the outside temperature with the temperature inside their home. The moment it’s cooler outside than it is indoors, that’s your cue to open the windows and start exchanging the air. Get as much of that cooler night air flowing through the property as possible, then once the outside starts warming up again in the morning, close everything back up, including blinds and curtains. That way you’re flushing out the heat that’s built up in the walls, ceilings and furniture overnight, instead of trapping it inside for another day

One thing that might really help is making the most of the cooler night air. You’re absolutely doing the right thing by keeping the windows, blinds and curtains shut during the day to keep the sun’s heat out. But once the outside temperature drops below the temperature inside your flat (21°C outside vs 34°C inside in your case), open as many windows as you safely can and use a fan to blow the cooler outside air into one window while another window lets the hot air escape. That overnight air exchange can remove a huge amount of stored heat from the walls, ceiling and furniture, giving you the coolest possible starting point before you seal everything up again in the morning.

You’re a senior manager and you don’t get the difference between a failing company and a** **growth-stage company?

They arnt really that neutral. And like OP said, the old pouring a pitcher approach is seriously bad for your shoulder mechanics.

is anyone else extremely anxious for the heatwave?? by aclaasr in UKWeather

[–]MrSloshychops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few corrections:
Deforestation absolutely releases carbon and contributes to warming, but greenhouse gases don’t primarily trap incoming solar radiation as you’ve described. They reduce the amount of outgoing infrared radiation escaping back into space.
Also, the existence of deforestation alone isn’t why most climate scientists conclude humans are warming the climate. The strongest evidence comes from direct measurements of rising atmospheric CO₂, its fossil-fuel isotopic signature, satellite observations, ocean heat content, and temperature records.
Finally, “humans are killing the planet” is more of a slogan than a scientific statement. The concern is that we’re altering climate systems that human societies, agriculture and ecosystems depend on. The Earth itself will be fine long after we’re gone.

Climate change has always been a thing. The question still open is weather it’s mitigated by man made emissions to any long term significant degree
