Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Wages are up for drivers. Wages are up across the board. The Indy and guardian are still trying to work it out.
Turns out not having an open door to Europe means there is greater competition for labour and this raises wages for those on the lower end of the food chain.
It’s an end to the “plenty more where you came from mate” culture.
I sincerely hope we adopt an open door policy for professions only, and see how quickly the rhetoric changes when it’s the middle classes jobs and wages at risk.
Meanwhile, I’ll happily enjoy British lorry drivers getting £2k signing on bonuses and double pay. Good for them.
I will watch TDT.
As things are my kids are on track to have their heartbeat and biometrics linked to a digital currency which will hold details of all their political activity.
They will be allowed resources but potentially be denied if they score low on social credit systems. Better keep those beaurocrats happy in future. Perhaps she might be a mistress to one of them, that will keep the social credit flowing.
We have no idea what we are getting ourselves into, and this time it will be forever.
Rant over. Let’s now hope before I die we can all make some money on this share before it’s all inflated away and replaced by Britcoin!
Boldly go - that sounds fantastic, it’s just at present, the 4th IR just seems to be mainly about outsourcing jobs to India, getting rid of jobs like driving taxis and as we’ve seen in the pandemic, the worlds richest becoming immeasurably richer.
Look at your high street and see all the independent businesses crushed and then look at Bezos and all those creeps riding around like kings.
8 jobs lots and 1 replaced for digitalisation. It creates less jobs than it cuts, that’s the point.
I think this will be great for the wealthy and educated but if you’re poor you will be part of a UBI slave class who will only get their free energy etc if they’re complaint.
Anyway, this is not for this forum but in the same way the atomic solution post WW2 ran away with people and we ended up with Chernobyl and Fukushima, we have to be very, very careful as this 4th IR to me looks like a freedom vacuum and a dystopian nightmare.
They (bring the WEF) are on about moving from facial recognition to heartbeat sensors with all your financial and other history on it. Imagine your children being on a database and these creeps can keep a data file of everything they’ve done and track them via their heartbeat. Chilling!
Thanks MD I’m glad it’s not only me who sees things this way.
I believe innovation is the thing which will creep up and make this possible.
The main concern is that for the first time in centuries (excepting wars) we are moving to a world where our children won’t have access to things like air travel (that will be for the wealthy), meat etc. All the “great reset” seems to point towards essentially is guilt tripping the plebs into living the life of peasants.
There is a “just transition” movement and I am very much behind this. We let the mines go down in the 80s and manufacturing and this causes immeasurable damage. We are at risk at the same again.
The public essentially see the wealthy and the academics saying that just trust us, the world is going to end and you need to be good and accept less, for the good of the world. This is why the optics of billionaires jetting off to climate events is so telling.
There’s a lot said to lowering emissions to build a better world for our children but in current context that just means less opportunities, less travel. Accepting less.
Innovation is sorely needed as the current context is “meat and air travel for me and not for thee”
One can only speculate at how a 2 sentence reply on another thread gets its own dedicated thread.
You can’t seriously argue EV adoption is driven through public demand due to environmental concerns. The circles you move in might , my own middle class circles do. The vast majority of people don’t care, and the thing which sets the pace of adoption is twofold: How quickly regulators and governments set fiscal rules encouraging it, and the other is how quickly the market innovates to deliver better technology to make it more attractive.
Like a lot of things, if you can’t shape the world to what you would like it to be through consent you do it through force. This is what the 2030 ambition and the 2050 net zero is.
All I’m saying is look to the policy makers and big money to see how quickly consumer habits can be changed as opposed to terms like “adoption” as this implies consent. “Enforcement” would be a better way of looking at it.
It will happen all the same and it’s for the best in the long term.
For the past 2 years throughout the investment industry there has been a clear direction shift. It’s towards green and ESG. Everyone on the ground knows that it is not driven by consumer demand. The consumer hasn’t suddenly started demanding green investments. Largely, the Conservative party did not campaign in Dec 2020 on a policy of completely changing the capital flows towards green industries. However, the WEF website clearly shows that these were agreed upon in the last 18-24 months.
When the WEF is setting domestic policy in most of the worlds asset management industry, then there is your NGO shaping policy. The current U.K. government are not taking their orders from the electorate, they are taking it from the WEF.
The funding for the road naturally would be considered post TEO.
If we didn’t have the sideshow of the document (which merely showed information already in the PD) then this would be a great RNS. Was this not what we have been waiting for?
We also have, finally, some reasonable communication. In addition, it’s fairly responsible communication in not ramping up rumours so placings etc look distant.
I’m not sure about the process but I assume the Russians can still reject the TEO, not sure if this is a formality like thing (ie you would only submit provided you knew you fulfilled the obligations)
Fundamentalist?
Are you suggesting the price moves based on a chart?
Price moves because there are more buyers than sellers and vice versa. This is then plotted on a chart.
The chart doesn’t do it. The buyers and sellers do it.
Thinking it’s the chart is like eating a ton of junk food and then saying it’s the bathroom scales doing it.
All we had before was very little. We had the Habib plan which was more about keeping the lights on.
If the road funding is confirmed (or bullish sentiments from Russia) AND a TEO RNS, then this time will be different and we will see value start to approach what’s realistic.
With TEO and funding then I think we will get bought, hopefully north of 750M and getting 60p a share which woukd be an amazing fantasy!
