    From reading I think we're talking about the same thing. What you describe sounds like an interface between two systems, not what I was calling Robotics.

    You've got the hots for the City. Admit it Barnsley.

    Really????? I don't think you can be right on that - seems unlikely. FFS she even says it herself:

    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    I cannot see how that would work, they'd have to participate. The whole thing would fall apart if the biggest economy in the world exempted themselves. Europe and the UK have been looking for solutions to this for years, which don't really work without the States.

    I fully expect Max to transition seamlessly from Player to Player Manager to Manager.

    Oh no, you're not going to go on a march in protest are you? All those shop windows in St. Albans aren't going to smash themselves.

    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    Not directly. Biden wants to change corporation tax so that it is charged in the location of sale rather than where the company is registered. A consequence of that is that nations such as Ireland and Hungary which have low populations and low corporation tax will lose money, which instead...

    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    That's a good point. One of the issues with this is indeed tax incentives. Countries with higher corporation tax tend to compensate with incentives to make companies do the things they want. That's complicated when tax is divided by where the sale took place, rather than where the IP is...

    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    Surprised that you are for this, Tony, as it's essentially an "America First" type policy - taking tax revenue from poorer countries with small consumer populations and giving it to richer more populous nations such as the USA. Are you sure you read the briefing paper correctly? Can we get...

    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    I'm sure you'll get lots of likes for this. I've not said it will be the "end of times" and I'm actually supportive of it. I tried to give a balanced picture of who will win and who will lose. If Group A benefits then there must be a Group B that loses. I know you like to imagine that Group...

    Biden attempting to tackle international tax avoidance

    Biden is proposing: 1. Companies pay tax proportional to sales in each country 2. First world countries agree a minimum level of corporation tax. Winners: - Small companies which will become more competitive if huge companies pay more tax. - Public services and/or personal tax rates in the...

    If SISU cared.

    I'm partly to blame but this thread has spiraled way off topic. Ann wanted female double-barreled names and we're offering males and made up names. Please try to keep faithful to Ann's intentions.

    Most people who work in the gig economy are happy with it. If you Google you can see surveys showing 80% + satisfaction with the work. That's why they don't leave.

    I'm sure you're right. I expect the Management team had a meeting to discuss who they should sign as filler for the U23 squad who would never make the first team. I bet that's the way they operate all the time: looking for ways to spend money that will never pay back.

    Robotics is going to be huge, IMO, over the next decade. A good way to hedge your bets is to buy a fund. There are two exchange traded funds, RBOT and RBTX which, despite the odd blip, have been rising steadily since they started. They are currently not at peaks so if I had some money I'd buy...

    That's no way to motivate a team. Compare that to Robing's comment that our senior players organised themselves to discuss after the QPR debacle.
