    You are driving hard the trickle down shitonomics. It doesn’t work. So just stop it and read up the subject.

    If no one else wants to take over key industries, i am happy for the government go bring them under public ownership for a peppecorn. If they leave, they had no loyalty to either their employees nor the country. I don’t want such people here anyway. This is what UK is planning to do with railways (privatising them was a complete disaster) and energy companies (UK bills are some of the highest in eurozone yet bit energy companies are reporting profits after profits).

    Local profits should stay in their local countries so fuck all those non-doms if they want to leave. I am going to be happy when the government finally takes over franchises that were designed to be asset stripped with impunity.

    It was only 5 years ago that we got button operated doors on westbound london trains. 5 fucking years ago. Previously you had to pull down the window and open the door from the outside by sticking your hand out. What in victorian hell do we live in in 2018?

    If the mega rich leave, good i will be singing and dancing as the government finally take sover key industries and its going to be less under effect from whims of their retarded ceos (looking at musk here).

      Thing is: it won’t happen. Never has, never will, and there are precedents that allow me to claim this. Look at the income tax brackets post-WWII up to 1975 in the West, and at the immigration balance of Western countries for the same period.

      Their talking points are tired, man…

      All they’ll do is shed crocodile tears about taxation in their villas. Tough shit 🤭
