Not completely gone off it, but, it does make a lot of launches nowadays quite... outcome neutral. If it works, good, a new probe goes out, new satellites up, technology advances etc. And if it blows up, fails or crashes, well, also good. Costs the worst people a bundle and we get some fireworks.

Well, we'll see how the US electorate likes the inflation that'll result from this live experiment in MMT. The history would suggest they will not like it at all, and thus in six months time East Anglia Bylines will be publishing the retraction piece walking back this errant nonsense?

Well, the petty revenge of the duality of the wacky uncle and the wine aunt combined in the person of Vivec anyway. Good characterisation though, it's just not in Vivec's nature to let the doomsday rock down gently, you've got to follow through if you're setting yourself up as literally God.

A classic bit of mythic Wandering in the Wilderness, stricken by grief at the Death of the Queen, before his return, the ousting of the pretender and so on.

Looks like going all-in on 'no social liberalism, but can I interest you in some dud economics', then. Ah well.

Indeed, but sadly just the consequence of letting the place be run according to the demands of socially, culturally and economically Illiberal politics for a decade. You end up with a stagnant, inward looking society with more and better yesterdays than tomorrows.

If we still had a centre-right worth a damn, I'd say let Labour carry on with that and hopefully after a few electoral cycles locked out it would wither away to be replaced with a more useful big tent party. Unfortunately...

It was one of the things that slightly surprised me after subscribing. I assumed that paying to be there might increase the proportion of commenters who'd actually read the articles, but, it doesn't appear so.

Oh, at least seven, I would say...

One of the interesting things about Luxembourg is, that's not really the case. It was a steel town that was independent for convoluted historical reasons until surprisingly late into the 20th century. Little countries often have a lot of scope for agility and rapid refocusing in response to change.

Although, the further into the 2030s this final reckoning with Farage gets punted, the more likely it is that the great Term Limits to which we are all variously subject get applied.

Exactly, it's less than the catastrophic amounts of noise the rotor tip jets on the rotodyne apparently made, but that's not saying much. They'd still have to beat normal helicopters on noise, capacity and energy efficiency.

The fancy knives off the Embezzlement catalogue? Treat yourself.

Branding issue aside (are the rivers not in enough of a state without more Jobys flying around) I guess Bluesky just really doesn't like new tech. To be fair I've still got my doubts on these. The eVTOL might solve the issues that stopped the rotodyne and keep helicopters niche, but then might not.

Just as long as they move away from having every banknote bearing a picture of one of the bridges in that one Dutch town.

This attitude is why I stopped being aligned with and ultimately voting for the Scottish Lib Dems.

Oh no. Before he was Tiny, he was... Tim. In cinemas Thanksgiving 2027.

..and Tiny Tim, who did *not* not die...

Sergey might as well do that, he's stuck in russia and will probably be back in prison or at the front before long anyway. For the normal working person in a normal market economy this is terrible advice though. Get your index level returns on regular monthly investments whether its up or down.

My gut says about 5%, but my gut is not infallible in these things.
