  1. A LOT of economic THEORY is just a con for Monopolistic marketing and CONTROL by BIG entities. The FREE market will FIX everything IF we just leave it alone. Why would THAT be. Its aim is to make profit NOT worry about charity. A  pile of desperate  workers is required since slavery was abolished and is superior since you don't have to buy them feed and clothe them or bury them either.   Nev

  2. People on the low end of the socio economic scale have little discretional money. Often all will be taken up with basics. In this pandemic, pretty much all over the world the wealth of the top 2% rose significantly and THEY are the ones who support the governments that made that happen, because it's absolutely in their interests to perpetuate it.  Trickle down is just a con. .Nev.

  3. Giving a one for five shares is the same . A share buy back is the opposite effect. The share increases in value. The purpose there is to reduce the amount of dividend to the shareholders but if the share value rises the price /earnings quotient looks worse and people value P/E as a determinant of share value.  When shares go ex dividend the share price drops for a while.  Nev

  4. Trump reckons HE's got DIRT on all of them . Thats how this rotten person works. He can  NEVER be wrong. That's how he was raised. He's ruined  goods. Not FIT to be C in C of the US armed forces as HE regards them ALL as "Suckers & LOSERS.". Ameriuca's GUN situation is a national disease of the mind. "Have Gun(s), Will use them" is the mantra. The UNITED States is near impossible when such hate exists between both major Parties. A House divided unto itself has no real future..  Nev

  5. Rort Iron is the same as hoop iron. (LOL)  Wrought iron is carbon free and produced in a puddling furnace where it's skimmed off the top and doesn't corrode much and can be forge welded. Some cast iron is wrongly called wrought iron when it's ornamental. Cast iron has free carbon in it and is relatively low in tensile strength and doesn't bend.  Nev

  6. They  don't tell you about the Sand flies and midges in the Nz and Scottish  Tourist brochures. Darwin's pretty ordinary also near the shores these Days (& Nights).  You scratch the bites and get infected because they  are unbelievably itchy. Nev
