  1. France and the UK are so similar yet so different, very much siblings.

  2. The inevitable result of socialism.
    47
  3. I'm voting Lib Dems because a heartless conservative government or a mindless labour government doesn't really appeal to me.
    38
  4. Protectionism is for the weak and uncompetitive.

  5. It's very easy for middle class English speakers to complain pollution infringes on their rights when millions still cook with charcoal in slums, not out of choice, but by economic necessity.

  6. The amount of hysteria is astounding, people opposed to immigration should focus on improving themselves and develop valuable skills.
    16
  7. Brazil needs to do away with it's bloated public sector.

  8. The UK is the fastest decarbonising advanced economy, we are and will be at the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution.

  9. With the fall of the US from global dominance, hopefully other nations will pick up the slack and it'll open opportunities for newcomers.

  10. And once upon a time horses were the main form of travel, times change, and oil is the horse.

  11. I don't discriminate against people based on their religious beliefs. Farron has common sense, unlike Labour, but he also doesn't seem as cold and disconnected as the Tories. I am voting Lib Dem, and I am as opposed to Tories as I am to Labour.

  12. Rise Venezuela, and dismantle an oppressive state, in favour of individual liberty.

  13. Look at the Japanese economy and then the Russian economy, the real loser is quite obvious.

  14. Great content.

  15. If you did as much good for the world as you did complaining then maybe you would achieve something with your life.

  16. People who say 'our country' generally don't have any achievements of their own. If a migrant is smarter, more skilled, and just generally better than you, then yes, I'll hire them over you. But also yes, I don't think migrants should receive benefits.

  17. Russia will collapse.
    6
  18. And this is why globalists will win. As a westerner living in the digital age, I see this as an opportunity rather than a threat.

  19. And VPNs are just as necessary in the west, do no trust your government.

  20. Bearing in mind these are financial times readers.

  21. I don't invest in authoritarian regimes.

  22. Global trade and automation are both inevitable, keep up or lose your place, we go to a competitive and incredible future.

  23. Labour safe seat, my vote is just a number.

  24. Just because someone personally doesn't approve of homosexuality doesn't make them a homophobe. I'm bisexual, some of my friends are muslims who consider homosexuality a sin, that doesn't get between our friendship. Labour's policies are almost universally anti-business, they are toxic. I like many of their civil and foreign policies, but I can't get behind anti-business socialists.

  25. Yes, and this situation is still better than what is going on in Venezuela right now, so the positon doesn't really hold water.

  26. Italy simply does not have the fiscal stability for increased spending, they're looking to bankrupt themselves because they feel they 'deserve' a higher standard of living than their work warrants.

  27. I live in the centre of Nottingham, and if you'd asked me I would have said it was a harmonious multi-cultural hub, until recent news report about racial abuse and young girls being beaten to death started to shift my view on my city.

  28. Communism dies by itself, there's really no need to worry. Maintain sanctions against the cuban government, facilitate the free exhange of goods, and simply allow the people to realise where the future lies.

  29. Would you have preferred a video on famine #communism?

  30. Then consumers front the cost.

  31. I hope to see conservatives lose their majority, but labour to lose historically safe seats to conservatives and lib dems, with lib dems regaining some of their former strength. There needs to be an end to complacency in politics, and I'd like to see an exceptionally close race so everyone moderates a little bit.

  32. Because socialist policies have created perpetual dependence in the working class, because the government covers the basics the private sector has never seen it necessary, creating one system for one group, and one group for another. Although market liberalisation would hurt the very poorest, the rest of the working class would see rising wages, more employment opportunities, and greater consumer choice.

  33. When Catalonian independence parties win, then the future of the nation will be clear and unstoppable.

  34. Typical French protectionism, nothing to see here, France is content to keep mass unemployment and anti-competitive policy.

  35. They'll be DAOs.

  36. Costa Rica has done pretty good for itself. Chile has done excellently.

  37. I'm referring to the US as a nation. Most of the most innovative companies in the world are American, but with rising authoritarianism, falling freedoms, and a militant sense of entitlement across the political spectrum, who will remain there? Americans come from the boats, they can get back on them.

  38. There's no 'reset' until those who benefited at the expense of our species and our planet are held to account, and considering the scale of their crimes, there can be no other fair consequence than the pyre.

  39. As far as she is concerned, it isn't her problem, the vast majority of people have this thinking, they just don't have the money to actually act on it. Later they talk about people cracking open pipes to fill a bucket and run, same thinking, less money.

  40. Gold is fairly useful, but the reason it is so valuable is because there's not much of it and it's shiny, as well as not degrading over time. So that was good for most of history but there are so many more ways to exchange value now, and gold isn't a significant one.

  41. Declining fertility rates, increasing average age, increasing competition in the economy. The same reason pensions are becoming important is the same reason immigration is necessary, the amount of old people is increasing.

  42. The extent of food waste is decadent and repugnant, but I'm not exactly convinced bugs are the solution.
    3
  43. Meaningless hysteria.

  44. XBT is a single cryptocurrency, a market which will rapidly replace fiat as the go to means of exchanging value.

  45. Stop victimising yourself, keep up with the future or be made redundant by machines.

  46. Except politicians are human beings and thus are allowed to have opinions on things. Farron didn't talk about homosexuality, the media pestered him about it. Protectionism is harmful to the economy, IA-HDI continues to increase, unemployment is low, and just because you want labour to win doesn't change any of these facts.

  47. Anyone with sense knows oil is dead. There's some profit to be made in short-term trading, but this is the end, investors need to find a new normal.
    2
  48. Anyone who fears manual labour job losses has no place in the world of the future, and should consider learning new skills and engaging in self-improvement.

  49. Ayurveda isn't a science. It is effective, and west medicine has taken alot from it, but the fact is that the methods are completely different, and western medicine is very much different to ayurveda, if you know about the science of biology you would understand that.

  50. It doesn't need to wait, it needs to actually get out there and work rather than sit in the sun drinking wine for three hours each day.
