    Sadly with each passing day we can see the impact this awful policy has had on the UK. Tied up in red tape and tariffs with lower GDP than before the pandemic whilst the others in the G7, including Italy, are above. The lower GDP means we do not have the headroom to pay our way in the world and must resort to borrowing.Whilst there are rich people in the UK; a great many of us are poor and now we are poorer still. What steps can we take to generate more income during quantitative adjustment?

      It is critical for everyone to prioritise investing in a variety of income streams that are independent of the government in light of the ongoing global economic crisis. Investigating stock, gold, silver, and digital currency opportunities is part of this. Despite the difficult economic climate, now is still a good time to think about making these investments.

      I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

    Engineers are considered the lowest of the low in the UK, we've completely de-skilled the country, I get contacted by UK agencies for janitor jobs with unblocking toilet skills all the time now. It's crazy really, I've worked so hard, specialised in mechanical engineering, a MechEng degree, worked in robotics/mechatronics design, then went back to University and studied astronautics and space engineering, I now lead the design of robotic spacecraft, ESA, UK space projects etc, however money has always been incredibly tight, very few holidays, old cars, lots of DIY, the only reason I could afford a house is both my parents died early of cancer and I inherited enough money for a deposit. God knows if I will ever get enough money to retire. The big problem is about to come, we have no engineers or scientists,I will go to the US, being offered 4x salaries to what I am on now.
    The UK is a country of bankers, sales & marketing, middle managers and HR, falling behind in science, technology and high tech manufacturing, surviving only on a credit driven service industry, supported by years of quantitative easing with an unsustainable trade deficit. The UK has been following an identical economic path to Argentina for decades, the outcome is now inevitable, BoE and government can't do anything.

      Wow, well said! That has been always my impression of the UK since Thacher broke the unions and outscored manufacturing to China and elsewhere. Basically the very same has happened in the US and now the Trump party claims they are the party of workers. How gullible can workers be? I find it kind of ironic to see a young doctor of Indian decent to find himself in a picket line for better pay in the UK.
      Btw, maybe Brits should put more fiber into their diet, install better plumbing or watch youtube how tos. Just saying.

    The financialization of the economy produces intense and rapid accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few. But the price of this is the reduction in economic activity, the collapse of the population's consumption power and the unsustainable imbalance in prices, causing both popular reaction and uncertainty that slows down investment. At the base of the problem is neoliberalism and its predominance demanded by the ultra-rich and influential financial elite.

    Capital is taxed too little, work (employment income) taxed too much. Companies have way too many advantages relative to their regular employees, this brings even more money in the hands of the capital holders. If you do the same work as an employee or a freelancer, you'll just make so much more money being freelance. Discovered recently that being an employee just simply makes no economic sense. You can't pass inflation to your employer, there is nothing you can deduct from taxes, hourly rate much lower than freelance.

      @xkolm49 When you talk about “freelancing”, you should try actually talking with some self-employed and small businesses in the UK. It is terrible (hence why so MANY small businesses have gone under in last 2-3 years), and the idea that you pay less tax overall is laughable. Sole traders/self-employed are too small to benefit from any tax perks, don’t get all of the various company benefits, and the overall tax burden can be just awful. I think you really have in mind various “consultants” and “independent executives” that are associated with offshore/shell companies and financial machinations; totally different thing. Talk to small business/sole-traders across economy today and see how many are really doing well in the current climate. And finally things like mortgages etc are massively hard to get if you’re self-employed, even if you have an established business. Self-employed are still treated very much as second-class citizens in the UK economy.

      What drives employee productivity? Capital investment. Taxing capital more is just a short-term play. Spend the money now and pay the debt later with high interest. Capital will flow to area of greatest return, so you get less money now and less productivity in the near future. Lose/lose.

      The economy definitely recovered, it's just that in 13 years the Tory government has never properly relieved the practice of austerity. Most of the current unrest largely isn't because of the economy doing badly over the last couple of years it's because public institutions like the NHS, school system and utilities networks have for years been allowed to be pillaged by private companies or to be funded the bare minimum by the government.

    • @martinlund7987
      @martinlund7987 11 місяців тому +1

      You are missing a pretty crucial point....
      Here the point is that the high Gini coefficient of the UK versus e.g. the EU contributes to lower productivity growth.
      The lower end of the income scale are only poor people if there is high socital wealth differential (high Gini-index). Because the UK is a very unequal society (e.g. by northern European standards), lower income quartile/quintile does equal poverty. That is not necessarily the case elsewhere.
      Poverty alignes with worse educational, health etc. outcomes for the following generation(s), and is hence a drag factor for productivity growth.

The fact that a mortgage can increase 1000 pounds bc inflation goes thru a high period is insane, of course people are losing houses. That’s why it was banned here in the US. People like security, that their rate won’t change despite the state of the economy. If anything refinancing can make it go down.

    Rubbish! The UK's inflation rate, economic growth rate and unemployment rate are all within one and half percentage points of the average EU rates. Inflation is a little higher (+0.5%) in the UK, growth (-1.0%) and unemployment (-1.5%) are a little lower in the UK this year. Growth was also higher in the UK in 2021 & 2022. UK manufactured more than France in 2021 and total exports were only c.10% lower than in Japan. The pushback re some climate change targets (but not the commitment to net zero) is mirrored in the EU.

If I were an EU citizen I'd be much more worried about the significant, secular problems facing the EU, like it's demographic collapse, rather than whether the UK has a slightly lower economic growth rate in a particular year.

      I'm not worried about any of those things - I live in Japan. But I was genuinely interested in what, exactly, the UK was manufacturing & exporting.
      I don't think I have a single thing in my house that was made by a British company, and I doubt that any of my Japanese friends and aquaintances have anything, either.

      @@seanrm In 2022 the UK was the World's 5th largest exporter, ahead of Japan and virtually identical to France (which beat the UK by only 0.4%). The UK was also the World's 2nd largest exporter of services. The UK's main exports of goods are cars, gas turbines, oil, pharmaceuticals, refined oil products, aircraft parts. If you live in Japan then you wouldn't notice that these types of items were made in the UK. You might also assume that many Japanese brands were made in Japan, whereas they are probably made in China.

    Theresa May once said this: "Once we have left the EU, we will be fully in control of who comes here. It will no longer be the case that EU nationals, regardless of the skills or experience they have to offer, can jump the queue ahead of engineers from Sydney or software developers from Delhi". However the illegal immigration has been more than pre-Brexit at the moment. She's one of the politicians who's responsible of this mess. They all need to be called to account now!

      no everything is becoming more expensive at an unsustainable rate, my parents own a business and the ingredients they buy in bulk increased massively in 2022 q4 and this year, although prices are getting lower it isn't good that small business and people who are very susceptible to price changes such as people with mortgages who can't really pay it right now due to the interest rates are losing money quickly. Because we're all going to have less disposable income due to paying more, the economy will slow and we will also be poorer in real terms, if wages don't increase. I can't wait till labour come into power.
