Syria falling to rebels? Assad nowhere to be found? Shit is popping!

The world is getting really mental isn’t it. I have nothing more insightful to add.

Hopefully it distracts Putin from Ukraine a bit

Russian army are fleeing too. And their navy (should, I think?) therefore lose access to the mediterranean sea

Huge strategic loss/embarrassment for putin

If ever there was a time to pull the rug from These fraudsters and renationalise our infrastructure, take the profits away from the scumbag tax evading shareholding fabricants and invest it back to us . But no , will be outrage from Michael Fabricants brainwashed by the tories and reform .

Money is an IOU, mad stuff really, especially when governments just print more when they need it. Bitcoin makes some sense although it doesn’t exist in any physical form

Gold makes the most sense but requires poor bastards to mine it

I think I’ll invest in warhols or original bones brigade decks when i win the lottery

Pointless rambling

I’m glad this is still getting coverage though, it really shows how poorly regulated the whole industry has been since privatisation.

The water companies are fucked.

I remember the water quality improving massively at my local surf spot in the early 90s. Went from raw sewage, shit, tampons etc floating past you to a new treatment plant and it being totally clean.

So obviously their first round of fund raising did make a difference, I could see it.

But now, after years of paying back those first investors, the whole thing should be in decent shape and should have been designed to be sustainable. But it’s obviously not the case.

They have borrowed more, and put themselves in the red, whilst inflation has raised their costs, and the cost of borrowing, and the whole thing just compounds itself because people don’t have the cash to pay for higher rates and government don’t want to let the water companies raise them because it’s political suicide.

So now the UK Government will probably end up buying a creaking and unsustainable infrastructure back after the private companies have enjoyed all the good years of drawing down bonuses and patting themselves on the back! It just goes to show that what makes good business doesn’t necessarily make for good public services and Thatcher’s philosophy was short sighted. Like we couldn’t have already told you that at the time haha.

I found this thread on the CEO killer really interesting.

Care to share some details for non twitter users?

Here’s my TLDR:

Smart kid from a wealthy family. Masters in Computer Science. Badly injured his spine surfing and turned into a bit of a recluse following an operation. Went full space cadet on mushrooms and went down the rabbit hole whilst recovering. Goes dreamtime and shoots CEO of big Health Insurance company. Gets arrested a few days later in a McDonald’s in the next State over.

Was he trying to get caught? He had $’s, foreign currency, fake ID on him at the time of arrest. Went without a fight. They found his backpack in Central Park filled with Monopoly money.
