Socialism is all but dead wolfie, they have run out of others people's money, the last hurra is the printing press, the private sector will return to the barter system or will find a different way to do business, good luckThanks Brendan,
I do feel your comment deserves a final, more considered response.
This line of thinking is dead. The long-term of what is occurring will see to that. Socialism has arrived, not by a central dictat authority, but by the people, for the people at the behest of the people.
After covid19 the notion that we can simply return to the way it was before is not going to happen.
It is patently obvious, with the collapse of the aviation and tourism industry, fishing, retail sector, and subsequent industries like insurance and banking to follow that, - we are all in this together
It will take a time for this to register with everyone, im already listening to landlords v tenants, the mortgage holders v banks, insurance industry v retail sector. This will continue for sometime until it registers - we are all in this together.
The national debt, the budget deficit, its all meaningless unless we have a functioning and stable society and economy to live and work in. In order to have this the money printing presses need to be turned on, to keep law and order, to keep business afloat, to help businesses re-open. Not just nationally, but internationally - we are all in this together.
So when Covid 19 passes, and the next time you hear of a trolley crisis, or homeless crisis, or fodder crisis, or crime rates increasing, suicide rates increasing, mental health issues increasing, insurance premiums increasing, house prices out of reach of working people, extortionate rents choking working people etc, etc, remember - we are all in this together.
Where there is any structural deficit, in society or in the economy, then there will be no excuse for government or private industry not to remedy it. Just print the money.
If money printing can be used, as it will, to save the global economy, then there is no excuse to not using it for local and regional matters, because, when it was needed nationally and internationally - we were all in it together.
Now where is the Log Out button?

the moderators should find a way to ban these resurrections.
Ban his IP .. surely that should stop him?
Ah, but then he might not be able to come back, and nobody really wants that, do they?
I cant find a link to log out, I dont like having my account signed in permanently.
How is that nasty or ugly. It’s clearly tongue in cheek. As in it’s funny.Hey Bronte,
I accept your bona fides.
I just think WolfeTone deserves better. Just look at the gratuitously nasty/ugly post, immediately above....
What age are you, can you just not close the website. It’s not difficult.I cant find a link to log out, I dont like having my account signed in permanently. I have edited the title to reflect the topic
Could be an interesting pole.... My money's on tecateAn awful thought just struck me.. if Wolfie has 2 previous identities on AAM... he could still be logged in on both... perhaps he is even responding to himself within this thread?
MrEarl ... is that you Wolfie?
He told you himself:Could be an interesting pole.... My money's on tecate
Folsom always struck me as a handle that came from somewhere specific and I recently came across it reading Bitcoin Billionaires..He told you himself:
Happy New Year from Wolfie/Shortie/Folsom
- My wife is always giving out to me, arguing, putting me down. She keeps saying I have no imagination. So I stood up to her one day, and said back to her, "YOU'VE no imagination!" That shut her up! - On better days, my wife encourages me to do more things for myself, she says I need to be...www.askaboutmoney.com
But we haven't been down a rabbit hole yetI think it would be a fitting tribute to Wolfie if, like so many of his other threads, this gets locked at some point.
we see a thinly veiled schadenfreude at what he wishfully perceives to be the current Armageddon of the capitalist world order.
