General Discussion
Yesterday i spent the day at the Royal Mint well worth a visit i may add, one of the interesting things was that prior to Covid the Mint was working 24/7 producing coins ,today they work 4.5 days per week 12 hours per day the reason there is no demand for cash.
@Steve Well that's your belief, and that's all it is a belief. Considering the majority or governments, businesses and the public around the globe accept the science on anthropogenic climate change, I'd suggest you arre in the minority. Either way if you feel so strongly, why don't you do something about it? Most economists don't understand that environmental sustainability is not possible ...
I don't believe I'm in the minority. I don’t know anything about the global scientific community on anthropogenic climate change except that scientific communities are made up of fallible people with political biases. Most people in academia are on the left of politics because, like celebrities, they don't understand economics. Some scientists even lie believe it or not. ...
@Steve I was just pointing out you're in the minority. It's up to you what you trust or not. But if you come on discussion forums questioning climate science I assume you're looking to discuss it. So you don't trust the global scientific community on anthropogenic climate change. Do you trust the scientific and medical fields on their cancer research? I mentioned global conspiracy in ...
You said, "There's a consensus on anthropogenic climate change being fact" . No, I don't trust consensus. You mentioned “global conspiracy” even though I only correctly said that the climate, etc. has been changing since the dawn of time. I never said anything about a hoax . You’ve mentioned it several times now. I don’t think anyone else has. I’m interested in why you think it may be ...
"Facts are not determined by consensus. Ideology and politics are." I never said they were. If you don't trust climate science do you trust any science at all? "Saying the climate has been changing since the dawn of time is not a conspiracy." I never said anything to this effect, you're misinterpreting. "You can’t deal with corruption in politics because it is human nature. You can ...
Facts are not determined by consensus. Ideology and politics are. Saying the climate has been changing since the dawn of time is not a conspiracy. You can’t deal with corruption in politics because it is human nature. You can only mitigate its impact. The bigger the government the more the corruption. The individual is actually best suited to decide how their income should be spent.
@Steve There's a consensus on anthropogenic climate change being fact. The rate of change is unprecedented - 200 years worth of industrialization and burning fossil fuels is having an impact. Your voice is in the minority as is those of a few others on here who believe in some global conspiracy. And why should anyone take you seriously? what's your background? What do you do for a living? Are we ...
Because those are the ones with the rooftop space. Subsidies always end up benefiting wealthiest. Take the yearly £30bn housing benefit bill as an example. That's basically a landlord subsidy costing each taxpayer around £800 every year. The climate, weather, polar ice caps, forests and deserts have been changing since the dawn of time, long before man even existed. Trying to blame it now on ...
Teignmouth Lloyds Bank closed. Including the ATMs which had more functionality that regular ATMs. A bit of a shame. Are we really expected not to use cash at all? A few months ago the card payments at major supermarkets went down, could only use cash. Doesn't make sense.
