Board Name Change...Again

mewbie_2

As we are close to, or maybe technically out of Recession should that element be dropped from the board name. Or perhaps replaced?

Debate House Prices, the Economy and Pizza perhaps?

Or maybe..........

" Debate house prices, the economy and how a debt based money system f*cks you up"

The act of borrowing money in itself does not constitute a "debt based money system"

It's what the "money" is and how it is created that's the important bit.

If you borrow money you're in debt...I think you've lost me.

How do you think "money" should be created?

In our current system, money doesn't even exist until it's borrowed.

re debt/money and the forum etc: there is a show on Channel four (where is PN, why have I become tv reportage person?) about people starting a hotel, and in the next sement the money worries come to the fore. It might interest some to see if and how they get ound the debt problems.

FWIW they've borrowed 1.5 million, I think.

Whatever the technical terminology might say, we are still in the early days of a very long lasting Recession.

If they remove that word from the title, they'll only have to replace it in a few months anyway, so why bother ??
