I admit that I preferred this remark from somebody known as Adrian posted right here earlier at the moment in response to my thread on inflation and the necessity for wage will increase:

Watching the TV information reviews on the financial system simply now, is painful when you know the way all of it actually works.

It is like being a tenant in a big constructing the place numerous fires are breaking out, and the entire constructing is at risk of going up. The constructing administration firm are in full denial in regards to the causes of the fires, and refusing to activate the sprinkler system or substitute faulty fireplace doorways and extinguishers, as a result of it will hit the income of their shareholders. They’re claiming, with crocodile tears, that the one resolution is for the tenants to pay extra hire, and cease demanding repairs and upkeep.

The tenants are getting uncomfortably scorching and a bit frightened, however most of them know little or no in regards to the causes and management of fireplace, so they have an inclination to imagine the managers. Made worse by the native information retailers (that are managed or influenced by the managers or shareholders) repeating what the managers say, with out query. They even characteristic so-called specialists “explaining” all this nonsense, who’re both equally ignorant or toe-ing the road so as to hold their jobs. (This contains you, Robert Peston, on ITN final evening, shameful).

I’ve tried shouting on the TV, however they take no discover of me.

I believed that very properly put.
