    Face the facts Thrugelmir - the golden years are over for us all

    Last night, Newsnight was going on about the UK going bankrupt by 2050 because of the ageing population

    But by 2050, climate change will have stuffed us all (probably)

    Capitalism has run its course, just as Feudalism did. Communism was a nice idea, but it doesn't work

    It's time for a new idea

    All of us?
    There's always been boom and bust. The issue is a generation has never experienced bust. Us old stagers just do what we've always done. Business as usual through good and bad times. Just make sure there's enough put aside for the rainy days.

    You mean like petrol rationing, the 3 days week, power blackouts. A 4% hike in interest rates in 4 months.

    Life is crap sometimes. But you just get on with it.
