Anyone can read this thread back. They are welcome to. Which won’t help your little show one bit.

£20 for the latest iphone then?

 

You started with phone contracts, then it was £55 a month & now it's the latest iPhone.

 

You're making it quite difficult to have a rational discussion so I'll leave you to it.

How is it difficult? Stop bumming stig and tell me what the latest iphone cost then on a monthly contract? instead of being a gaslighting cunt yeah?

Watching snooker and mens arses bend over makes you a nonce.

Can't believe Stig's taking the moral high ground and being the more rational one in an argument.

 

We're living in strange times.

Point of Order: Can you really still call it ‘tea’ after 8pm?

 

Dinner, if you’re posh like me. Supper perhaps. A ‘late tea’ at a push. 
 

Other than that, as you were.

Ooooh quite the conundrum. Will late tea cut it? I’ve got an aero selection box to open up for supper being the fat evil dwarf cunt that I am. 

[Clem H Fandango]

gaslighting.

[Elite]

Only dwarfs eat Aero's.

[Jairzinho]

Specifically gay navy dwarfs.

Was going to dig up the inequality thread to post this, but I'll post it here instead after having read the first couple pages:

 

In a report published back in 2021, Cerulli Associates calculated that over the coming 25 years, $84 trillion would be passed from older to younger generations. 

Cerulli senior analyst Chayce Horton just crunched the numbers again. “In 2024, that number has increased to $124 trillion over the next 25 years.”

There are a few reasons: inflation, soaring stock and home prices, plus increasing wealth concentration among the richest and oldest Americans. Horton said half of the great wealth transfer will come from just the top 2% of households — those dubbed “high net worth” by financial planners.

“Those with $10 million or more in net worth, roughly, now control about half the wealth, whereas that was closer to 40% the last time we did this,” said Horton. “Looking back to 2011, even adjusted for inflation, we’ve seen privately held wealth essentially double in the U.S., from around $80 trillion to around $155 trillion.”

 

Now I'll go back and read the rest of the thread.

Except is this largely untrue. The proportion of wealth held by the richest has massively declined over the last century. The rate of change has levelled out over the last 40 years or so.

Assuming you're both working full time @Bjornebye thats what you'll be in the region of. Enough for fresh petrol and a roof on the table.

 

 

Isnt that before tax?

Yes, as I said afterwards, half of it is tax free given that there will be 2 allowances.

I'm not sure that's entirely necessary.

It's up to companies to decide how much they pay their staff, market forces etc. (Minimum requirements excepted) a salary cap just wouldn't work.

A lot of companies would still be paying people £1.20 an hr,if they could they could get away with it.

The entire Premise of capitalism is based on exploitation

So what..around 25k a year each..factor in rent,food etc and that's still a struggle. 

Never mind people on their own

Not sure what your point is, that is why there is a minimum wage.

I just read Stig's post indicating that 'anyone could go back and read the thread', and I was going to respond "but no is going to".
