    You gotta love those youtube videos, a silver ramper walking
    I'm sure I am not the only one who suspects that AG47/silvertooth is one of those conspiracy theory/silver ramper Youtubers themselves.

    Youtube link 7 posts above, 8mins 40secs in : "uh oh...a normal person coming down the path...let's make a swift right turn into this grass verge here!" :D

    I admire your perseverance, sitting through nearly nine minutes of that. The 'swallow water every 15 minutes' one was enough for me. Perhaps the plan is to sell hats lined with silver foil rather than tin......

    why should anyone take any notice of your predictions about how house prices will be miraculously preserved in a meltdown?
    ....says the chap who's been predicting house price meltdowns for the past 20 years. :D





    Perhaps this is the trigger.............

    The nanny state over the past 20 years has a lot to answer for.

    An interesting overview of the (very careful and slow) return to work in Chine.
    The article is from the FT but no paywall this way.

    I think it is a cultural thing.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:
