MY VERY MIDDLE-CLASS SISTER owns her own business [MMA School], owns horses, owns her own house, has a Bsc - Just called me depressed, having to cut back on everything... The braces for her kid's teeth £3,000 tomorrow, had to sell a motorbike to pay for that. Needs another 15 students at each academy to pay for the electric, gas and rent increases. Students no longer able to afford the kit they need as they are growing out of old kit, she is talking about selling up and getting out of the UK [I wish she would] But its now hitting the VERY middle class - the £450k house people are starting to feel it. And she said its the pervasiveness of it - her students talk about NOTHING except how bad things are and she has one school in a poor town and one in a rich town and its the same depression at BOTH schools.

@davidwarburton-burley9967 - the thing is - my sister is not one of them. They are the "pay your mortgage off early" type. And that's my point. Its no longer impacts just the poor or the lower middle class or the OVER STRETCHED middle class - but your solid normally stable middle class. You see - its not her income now that the issue - its that her income depends on 350 students being able to afford £75 a month for MMA lessons and her rent has just gone up 50% on one unit and 40% on the other unit, and the gas and electric are sky high and the gloves that they used to sell for £30 now cost THEM £45 to buy... The ripple is moving up the chain. Her house is worth £450k today, what does she do? Cash in before the housing market collapses or wait and see if the country gets through this. You see, most middle-class people make their living of other middle AND lower-class people giving them money for things. If the lower class don't have the money that impacts the middle class. Then the middle class get scared and they cut back - in fact. Middle-class people cut back on spending quicker [in my sister's experience] than working-class people.

@DavidMoxham957 - I wholeheartedly agree... IM AN AUTHOR on the collapse of civilisations - I wrote this a year ago: The balance has been tipped; there is no money left in the working class, they are in debt up to their eyeballs so now it is time for the elites to start eating the middle class. The lower value houses are to go to repossession auction at a bargain price and be gifted to the grandchildren of the Etonians as rental income properties and the smaller farmers are to be bought at bankruptcy auction to enlarge the estates of the landowners and Tory donors. To do this you are hacking into your voter base, but it must be done to keep funnelling money and assets to the top. You can lie to the red wall - that will get you so far. But ultimately "democracy" has to go. You CAN NOT continue to win elections, no matter how twisted the system, when Tory voters are losing houses and farms. So "democracy" has to go - or the system can no longer FEED. And the ONLY purpose of the Tory party is to FEED the system. And the system has one purpose, funnel ever-increasing wealth to the top. Brexit is a vehicle to move assets from the middle class to the elites. They dont care if the economy crashes, they have more money than they can ever spend - they are insulated. A nice BIG CRASH that devalues property and bankrupts farms is GREAT...! They can snap them up. Cos the thing the elites of the UK know is money is meaningless when you have enough of it - CAPITAL ASSETS is what builds and maintains generational wealth. That is why the price of houses and land are so high right now, they are converting cash money into capital assets at a rate never seen in history. So they NEED a crash to bring the price down whilst they snap it all up... The collapse IS THE POINT, its snouts in the trough for the next grotesque gorging of British assets. So they HAVE to go the Tories. Not must go; HAVE TO GO or the UK will never be a democracy again in our lifetimes and the life of the working person will be that of a peasant.

@Geffo555 - Yeah - my sister had a good life built on the paychecks of her students. They range from single mothers working 2 jobs to bankers and solicitors. BUT my sister's business needs 300 students to cover its costs and she makes her money on the last 50 or so. so if you lose 20 of the working class really struggling that is 40% of my sister's income gone. The £75 from a single mother working 2 jobs is the £75 my SISTER gets to spend - it MATTERS. And its the same with most businesses. Its the money you MISS that matters so the family that go to the bar for dinner once a month as a treat and spends £50. When they DONT the landlord is out £50 personally

@DavidMoxham957 - "worldwide electrical grid where countries in daylight generate the solar power for those in darkness " we are close to that being a possible reality - wiht AC it was never going to work and we could not jack up the DC voltage high enough - BUT NOW we can get UHVDC - ultra high voltage DC that can go about 5000km THIS means that the poor equatorial countries can SELL their daylight in the form of electricity. The Uk is putting in a UHVDC line to Morrocco

TORY S(UM BEING TORY S(UM thats not exactly a headline is it... BUT do you think people who cant afford to eat will care about this...???

@DavidMoxham957 - I agree wiht pretty much everything you said there. Only that the feudal I talk of is nothing like as nice or good as the feudal of the middle ages - which was quite hood actually, the average serf worked 1400 hours a year and the average brit worked 1600 now, the average American 1800 and the church and the lord regularly put on feasts and stuff AND they had a very VERY close-knit society. No techno feudalism or neo-feudalism is way more dystopian. But my outlook longer term is actually quite optimistic p here is another one of my writings. COMMUNISM IN 50 YEARS Well like it or hate it you WILL live in some form of communist state in the next 50 years. Capitalism is FUNDAMENTALLY flawed, I dont mean it has its problems. I mean the very basic concept is self cannibalising. Problem No1. Capitalism is a funnel. It funnels wealth from the bottom to the top - it also funnels power from the bottom to the top cos money = power. For capitalism to be stable you have to TAX the top heavily and move the money back down to the bottom JUST to keep the system functioning. Rich powerful people DO NOT like being taxed. And as capitalism INEVITABLY produces rich powerful people who control media and politicians they get their way. This hoovers all the money out of the working class, then you give them credit - they sell their future work, and then they are EMPTY. But for capitalism to continue it NEEDS MONEY - so the middle class are the next to go - and you can see this in the USA and the UK - it is eating the middle class. It also starts to eat the state, private prisons, private education etc etc... Ultimately there is NO MONEY left in the system - that has already happened the FED in America si literally printing money to keep the system working. So capitalism HAS TO COLLAPSE. It is 100% inevitable from the very start of the system. And people predicted this 150 and 200 years ago. Problem 2. Capitalism HAS to GROW to exist. it is NOT a static model. It has to grow by about 3% each year to continue. That is a DOUBLING of the world economy every 27 years. The earth is at 130% of capacity now. WE CAN NOT extract 260% per year of the earth capacity in another 27 years - its not possible to live on that planet. SO. A static zero growth economic model is required, a model that removes the profit motive is required [to long to explain why] is required and due to AI a UBI is required - the only economic model we have that allows the earth to survive and people to eat is a communism based model. It wont be Stalin's Russia, it will be some hybrid modernised version. But YOU WILL LIVE under a communist economic model if you live another 50 years. ---§--- As I say, NOT a Stalinesque new Soviet Union but some form of a more balanced equitable society and NOT because people will be enlightened and nice to each other - but because its the only way to save the human race... the tipping point has been reached in the UK and the USA Even over here in Bulgaria where we dont HAVE these issues - I can FEEL that something is about to happen.

@casperwallace9685 - I 100% agree - BUT, this winter we will LITERALLY have people who are cold and hungry. NOT uncomfortable LITERALLY freezing and starving... Adn that may change things - its Britain so I cant guarantee it

@casperwallace9685 - AH AH AH NOW - now we enter a REALLY interesting period / point... You see these incidents and this poor people could starve to death cos of a few factors - they were relatively few in number Thatcher had broken society up into tiny sections - the rail workers could not go on strike any longer cos the rail company was broken into 50 small companies [incidentally London tube drivers she forgot - still there, still unionised - average wage £85k pa] NOW where Bojo made a HUGE error was the homes for Ukrainians - THAT had middle-class people looking after unfortunate people and THAT w2as a dumb move... Allowing middle-class people to see poor people as PEOPLE to be HELPED IMMEDIATELY people started asking "why are we helping Ukrainians and letting veterans starve on the streets" No one was that "bothered" about vets starving on the street the week before - and they were NOT being nasty to Ukrainians - they were asking a LEGITIMATE QUESTION. I think the fact that only 1,200 have arrived and the rest of the 100k+ are stuck being processed is a deliberate rolling back of this policy - you HAVE to keep middle class people not caring about the poor... But its NOT just the poor this time - I think they have also miscalculated the scale of this disaster. Revolutions happen when several things come together 1) the ruling class get so hideously out of touch their every action is unwittingly cruel and self-serving, meaning the conditions of the working person are simply hideously deprived with NO HOPE of ever improving - Brexit, NI increase, Cost of living crisis RISHI SUNAK "IT WOULD BE SILLY TO HELP PEOPLE NOW" he literally said that today

@Lee_303 - THANK YOU - but don't worry, my sister is NOT that sort of person. She was already on the road to packing it all in and going to live in a caravan in the countryside. She was waiting till her child reached 18 [now 13] before she jacked it in.

@MrTomDangerous - I KNOW - I just posted this to the other commenter on this thread - it covers this point: IM AN AUTHOR on the collapse of civilisations - I wrote this a year ago: The balance has been tipped; there is no money left in the working class, they are in debt up to their eyeballs so now it is time for the elites to start eating the middle class. The lower value houses are to go to repossession auction at a bargain price and be gifted to the grandchildren of the Etonians as rental income properties and the smaller farmers are to be bought at bankruptcy auction to enlarge the estates of the landowners and Tory donors.

So they HAVE to go the Tories. Not must go; HAVE TO GO or the UK will never be a democracy again in our lifetimes and the life of the working person will be that of a peasant. ---§--- They WANT the housing market to crash, preferably after the next election win - but its smash and grab time and the house prices are too high, they want YOUR HOUSE and they dont want to ahve to pay £450k for a 1970's semi... And they are not bothered about how much its worth in 10 years - its for their grandchildren's income in 40 years time - its GENERATIONAL WEALTH BUILDING cos paper money from capitalism is coming to the end of its use. You HAVE TO convert it into capital assets.

@casperwallace9685 - Im just listening to a historian that has done 500 1 hour long podcasts on all the revolutions of the world. Im at No 250 and he did a Q and A session - this was in 2015. He predicted back then that IF the rich did not do something very soon [2015 remember] to end wealth inequality, ar at least ease it, and they doubled down on extracting more money out of the system, that there WOULD BE A VIOLENT REVOLUTION. People against the wall, heads in baskets. Not cos it was "unfair" but because the system would stop functioning. And we have reached that point haven't we. the govt are talking about making MOT's every 2 years when people can not afford to eat... Seperatly I wrote this last week: UNPOPULAR OPINION I want Johnsons to stay - Revolutions dont happen when you have an evil government - they happen when you had BAD government at a time of crisis... A GOOD government would introduce a windfall tax and put up energy by 4%. An evil government would put an energy subsidy on the national debt to save itself a revolution. A BAD government would force people to take out a loan they never asked for, that repaying will make the situation worse in the future, have a party and then f-uk off to India... Johnson = Revolution ---§--- That was before the MOT idiotic fiasco - but it just goes to show - the toothpaste tube of ideas to save capitalism is empty. I actually think we are no longer in capitalism - I think we have entered "neo-feudalism" - people are the effective property of corporations and the "system"

@casperwallace9685 - Yes. I agree with every word of that. Jef Bezos has to have a bridge removed to get his new super yacht out - why? Cos it has masts and sails... Why? To be environmentally friendly? NO - so that when society collapses it never has to dock - it can traverse the globe, keeping Bezos safe and happy and the other yacht that comes with it can go to port - where its dangerous and get food etc.. This is not speculation - this is in the sales bochur of the companies that make these super yaches. They are safe havens when society collapses...

@casperwallace9685 - From my listening to 250 hours of podcasts on revolutions - the point of no return always seems to be when the women march in the streets... The government can ignore and oppress the masses, they can shoot the men, but when the women march alone and angry - its revolution time...
1
@casperwallace9685 - I TOTALLY AGREE - As I mentioned I am 250 hours into a 500 hours podcast on every revolution in history from the Roman to today and one thing is very clear - Thatcher was NOT randomly evil as I had thought - she was ensuring the UK never had a revolution... Everything she did was to this end - even the selling off of the council houses cos its been proven in Germany that homeowners will side with the fascists over the communists when the sh!t hits the fan... She was breaking the nation's ability to have a revolution.

@casperwallace9685 - Again I agree with every word. I also wrote this yesterday: UNPOPULAR OPINION I want Johnsons to stay - Revolutions dont happen when you have an evil government - they happen when you had BAD government at a time of crisis... A GOOD government would introduce a windfall tax and put up energy by 4%. An evil government would put a subsidy on the national debt to save itself a revolution. A BAD government would force people to take out a loan they never asked for, that repaying will make the situation worse in the future, have a party and then f-uk off to India... Johnson = Revolution ---§--- Labour will make things better - but they WONT fix the broken system, they will just squeeze the toothpaste tube a bit more energetically - we need a new tube of toothpaste.

@DavidMoxham957 -Yeah the only country doing it properly [east to west] - you guessed it. China. The technology is at 1.1million volts at the moment and I think that gives a range of about 5000km.

@jallan9578 - Its a really good job it was a "no brainer" - that means you could cope with it whilst having no brain. Brexit being a no-brainer is a defining feature of the Brexiteer I have found. The ones WITH brains didn't vote for it, except the criminals and con men.

@jallan9578 - Have you got a brain moonbeam??? Is it better than mine? LOLOLOL I'll let the people who know my comments on here decide who's brain exceeds who's.
