I agree. Can't believe Biden is going to be the opposition - what on earth happened to see him jump in the ratings so quickly? There was part of me wondering if it was Rep's voting to choose a weaker candidate. Trump will tear him apart in debates. I really can't see Trump losing to him.

If from what they'd seen on the ground correlated to the data did they really have any other option? Could well be stuff going on that they don't see but can they just say "we think there's more to it" despite not having proof? Dangerous game to play. What would stop them saying the same about...

Well there's an idea for the sparkies on here. Design and patent a universal connector for light switches and electrical sockets for the home. Become a rich fucker and buy the club.

We're still a long way off the target for testing too - not even close to the original target of 25k per day let alone 100k. Why after this long is testing still at low levels?

But,but..... G said the furlough scheme was absolutely crystal clear in the guidelines and couldn't/wouldn't be changed.....

Yeah. Have you seen the amount of barbers down FGS? That's a lot of men needing a haircut in such a small area.....

Once again looking to lay the blame at someone else's door, blaming WHO and also using it as a good chance to promote his xenophobia. It may well be that the WHO had insufficient or indeed wrong data, but that is down to the Chinese for covering up. They massively restrict access to outside...

Can't help with the question, other than to say if you have to ask maybe you shouldn't be fucking around with it? But I also wondered why in this day and age stuff like lights, plugs etc aren't on a 'plug-and-play' type universal adaptor to make it quicker and safer to change and would allow...

I also wonder if it wasn't 'salt' he put on the chips to make them even moreish.

Genius. Sell the weed out the back, they get the munchies and buy chips as well. Mind you there's quite a few businesses around that I think are just front for other activities and are just essentially devices for laundering money.

You seemed obsessed with people running chip shops lately - the lockdown affecting your diet? And no I'm not one of those advisor idiots - I did accounts for various types of business at a couple of practices for a fair few years. I assume you didn't mean to end that first sentence in a...

I wasn't claiming any such thing. As I said if this business you're talking about had more liquidity and wasn't taking dividends and so was being run prudently in comparison to others and looking to grow the business yet are still massively at risk it highlights how bad the problem is. As I...

I agree about the difference about what's between you BUT high density areas tend to involve high-rises. These have shared spaces to enter/exit the building used by many people. So even if your not in the hallway/staircase at the same time if someone has breathed/coughed/sneezed and the pathogen...

Dunno, but could suit us given how we play.

I did this for a living for over a decade. We turned a huge amount of sole traders/partnerships into ltd's due to the tax advantages at the time (since closed). As the owners(shareholders) were usually also the directors (as I assume is the case here) they'd often pay themselves a 'bonus' at...

Private limited companies still can (and often do) pay dividends to it's shareholders. Plus if that one has large cash reserves compared to others doesn't it just highlight the problem.

Well, perhaps a start would be to retain more cash in the businesses rather than massive dividend payouts to the very rich shareholders that do fuck all except own a piece of paper. Thus reducing the need for the higher debt and reducing pressure from interest payments?

By the looks of it he says the metric used for pop density is number of major dense urban areas. I find this flawed. What if you have a large percentage of your population living quite rurally with one or two absolutely heaving metroplii? Of course there will be no correlation. For that it...

But if the private sector do run it more 'efficiently' (usually meaning cut corners to cut costs and thus a poorer service) then the cost savings are lost to private sector profits. So instead of a better health service you get richer rich people. If it's NFP then that could be fine. But it...

But I think there's probably a fair few who are also glad of it. Unfortunately when Trump throws his toys out of the pram and stops funding etc reaching the states in a hissy fit it's the state that will suffer, and then Trump and his cronies will say look at how bad they did in combating it...
