Re: Why Amanda Spielman Deserves her Peerage – politicalbetting.com
Well that’s for you to DYOR and decide isn’t it. I did. I am happy with what I currently hold and if something changes then they go. -
Re: Why Amanda Spielman should not be elevated to the peerage – politicalbetting.com
They’ve multiplied down those years, but against a lower total needed for full pension, so effectively you have to cover the reduction either by working longer or covering any gaps you had anyway. -
Re: It’s going a bit Liz Truss for Donald Trump – politicalbetting.com
"Trial by jury...twelve good folk and true...its a fine system". I suspect that those of us who have served on juries took the process seriously and did the job to the best of their ability. If the evidence supports conviction, he will be convicted. If it doesn't, he won't. Mind you, even if acquitted, I'll still think… -

Re: How’s about that, then? – politicalbetting.com
Touché. Certainly the fact that rising house prices are in my eyes misclassed as asset prices and not in the basket is one of the biggest problems with the measure that has caused major imbalances in the economy and the real world inflation people have faced over the past decades varies dramatically between if they need to… -

Re: Look What You Made Me Do – politicalbetting.com
He’s read about President McKinley and doesn’t have even Leon’s meagre IQ to be able to understand how the massive development of the global economy, since the late 19th century, means that what McKinley did back then cannot simply be dropped into the 21st century and be expected to turn out well. -
Re: The Rachel effect? – politicalbetting.com
He was actually a very good actor indeed. See, for example, his performance in Tombstone. It's a fairly average Hollywood flic, but he steals the entire movie. He made some poor choices, but he was incredibly talented. -

You tagging a Vance tweet is a bit like Mandy Rice Davies sharing Lord Astor's X account with a specific comment. -

Surely the court can order the US government to take all necessary steps to arrange for El Salvador to repatriate him? -
Re: The bookies are now offering odds on Trump winning in 2028/a third term – politicalbetting.com
Clean energy is not the same as cheap energy. If a government invests tens/hundreds of billions in clean energy it needs to show the benefits. And those factories and their jobs were visible benefits. Benefits which the Dems did not campaign on. And by not campaigning on them they conceded the economic argument to Trump. -

Re: Do you fancy a 2% return in a week? – politicalbetting.com
What jobs are you guys talking about, I honestly don’t get it. With AGI looming any jobs that aren’t straight up manual will be automated in 5 years. Practically all intellectual jobs are doomed. And manual jobs won’t last much longer, robotics is racing into the future. The whole conversation on these threads exists in a… -
Re: My my – politicalbetting.com
Agreed but the difference with Trump this time around is that he is surrounded by really nasty individuals who are being given free rein to pursue their agendas. Most of us have factored in that Trump behaves like a toddler with ADHD but he's just the puppet who enables Vance, Musk, Hesketh, Kennedy. Gabbard and co. There…
