Coronavirus

[SilverSong]

Money is a fucking joke isnt it. We are in the midst of a global health crisis and money seems more of a concern than health. Ffs just factor money out of the equation, cos its bullshit anyway. Pause money, cancel money, print money, whatever. Do whatever is required to alleviate the concerns of the precariat class (basically anyone who isnt a cash millionaire) to assure them that they can socially distance, that they can self-isolate and that they dont need to worry that their leccy might get cut off, that they wont starve, that they wont get laid off or lose their home etc etc etc. Money pffffff.

London hospital doctor has told me that London will be on full lockdown from Thursday evening for two weeks. Might be bullshit, guess we'll see.

All central banks have to do is literally type numbers into accounts to create the money needed. And any of them that refuse doing it for a gov to help people at a time like this should be part or fully nationalised.

Fair play to Neville here. 
 

Our offices are right next door to Stock Exchange. Tom Kerridge made my lunch the other day.

Yeah it's a complete fraud.

 

At a time like this we could do with worldwide debt relief that includes governments. So we could take things like this and reset the figure to zero : https://www.usdebtclock.org/

 

Then make a list of the entire debt that was owed, agree to pay back fully or in part those that most need it and tell everyone else to fuck off. Then governments can properly start over, bail out their people like needed and have no national debt excuses.

Then every single country should probably change currency’s primary use in to toilet paper as it’ll be more valuable.

 

Money as a system of transaction relies on the lie that the value is in trust. If we lose trust in its value it, and the word of its bearer, becomes worthless.

Oh, yes, that’s going to tank quicker than a fat kid in American high school, who is alright at tackling in American Rugby, when nicknames are handed out.

Im waiting for the card payment system to crash bang in the middle of it all. With supermarkets full of Joan and Kens with enough food and milk in their trolley to last until 2029

It already has.

 

It was 1.20 to the euro about a month ago. 1.06 now. Threats of No deal Brexit, plus suicidal Coronavirus plan, plus a cabinet of halfwits.

It is indeed.

 

Explored incredibly well in Paul Mason’s ‘Post-Capitalism’ a fine, and hefty book, to read over the coming march towards the Stone Age.
