true fascism as work....


This is extraordinarily dangerous and shows you how big tech is just an extension of the government.

1at amendment stops govt from silencing you, so the government wants to outsource that to the tech companies. (Also, as per Supreme Court there is no such thing as hate speech.)

Democrats and their spokesmen in Fake News Media have called for violence and rioting against Republicans OVER and OVER again.

Their extremist rhetoric incited a year of domestic terror by BLM / Antifa radicals.

The GOP must hold them accountable.

"This would be bad enough if Jonathan Tin Pan Alley had not then weighed in with his ‘vaccinated people should not assume they cannot pick up and transmit the virus’. Because, like it or not, this man is saying the all-powerful vaccines that were going to save us don’t offer an exit strategy from Lockdown….if anything, they create nothing more than symptom alleviation."
"The U.K. government originally agreed to buy more than 350 million doses of vaccines from seven different producers. So far, two companies have “delivered”, but the total number of kits available as of two weeks ago was already a staggering 400 million."

Why would they require 400 million?mro.

I suspect one Mr Bezo has been looking into that industry!

Lefrene probably a good time to look at providers of packaging as there's already a growing cardboard box shortage underway.

MRO, that container shortage is due to the Americans who found themselves getting $600 a week in covid payments. Many had never seen such money and immediately started buying cheap goods, virtually all of which come from China. Hence a sudden rush by China to book all the available containers, causing the current indigestion in the system.

It doesn't feel very long ago that for miles around Felixstowe there were empty containers stacked up in fields, because it cost more to repatriate them, than they cost to build. Eventually that was fixed by Felixstowe refusing unload any Chinese ships, until they took the empties away.

With Biden talking of dishing out $2000 to everybody, there could be a shortage for some time. It must be good for container builders though, until the system catches up.

Hi Chestnuts I don't think so. This happened maybe 15 years ago. I was trying to find it last week but had no luck.

Was it the Hilton Group

Re naked shorting can anyone remember the name of the London hotel/leasure group where a market maker naked shorted by selling close to three times the number of shares in issue in to the market?

[mroalan] 31/1/2021 15:14

If correct that looks major, mro.

European retailers face goods shortages as shipping costs soar. Importers of consumer items from sports kit to toys see huge impact. Frucom, which represents traders of fruit, said that members had been quoted $16,500 to ship 40ft container, up from $2,150

Whoever it is that are holding the government bonds that will never be repaid except by issuing more government bonds. They have been able to get them away by constantly lowering rates to make the bonds look 'attractive' against other deposit rates. This of course has led to companies issuing vast debt at rates slightly more attractive than treasury notes. It's the Chinese that are in an interesting position as they hold huge amounts of US treasuries. When you could take settlement in gold there was a foundation underpinning the whole edifice. Those days ended in 1971, and it's been half a century of an ever ballooning Ponzi scheme. The Biden administration seems unlikely to improve the dollar predicament.

One gets the sense that we are very close to an 'event'. The activities of Reddit would seem to be the pin going after the Wall Street whales, this might well precipitate an event, although perhaps not before the government does it's best to put a lid on it. I would much rather be reading about these things safely in the future, sat by a fire with a glass of malt! The front row of history is usually messy.

lef - not everyone can be in debt! Who are the counterparties holding the paper? ;))

Jailbird,

The whole western world and probably China too, is buried under a mountain of unrepayable debt, I'm expecting some sort of 're-set' and believe the covid exercise is Act I of it. Once some new currency is established there will be a need to normalise interest rates to circa 5%, as pension schemes and income funds simply don't work at zero interest rates. Imo opinion zero rates led to the vast derivatives market, highlighted when the Repo-Market stalled 17-9-19, I don't think people have grasped just how big that was, likely 4 times bigger or more than the 2008 mortgage bond bust.

At some point the furlough will have to be tapered off, and high levels of unemployment will swiftly follow.

We might just get lucky and the Brexit might open up large export markets for us to Asia, but it will take time, and it looks like HMRC are doing their level best to screw it up already by forcing all people we trade with to register for UK VAT!

Imo the high cost of housing is very damaging to our society, ordinary young couples who do not have a bank of mum & dad, have almost no chance of getting established and having a family, unless they perhaps come from more 'tribal' cultures where things are done communally? So some sort of re-set that adjusted house prices to being genuinely affordable to young workers would be fine by me. But it seems unlikely to happen under either political brand in the HoC. The last chance to do it was when Broon stepped in in 1996, all he had to do was go back to the genuine Labour Party rules of pre-1974, the ones that Heath swept away to rescue the Banks from the consequences of their adventures in South America.
Those banks should have been allowed to fail, and new ones set up underwritten by the Government.
