The Christian nationalists would absolutely crucify them, it's career suicide and they know it.

How are they to enforce it?

Same question goes to international courts frequently. Can rule all you like, it's all meaningless if you can't enforce it and those subject to your rulings don't care enough to listen.

The petition system exists to make the people think they have a voice. Much like parish councils etc. Keep the busybodies busy with nothing so they don't stick their nose in something.

Rates are not going back to sub-2% for a long time

I disagree quite strongly.

Economies limping along at ~1% GDP growth per year and little or no GDP per capita growth can't handle larger base rates for long. It's a self-correcting cycle - if base rates remain elevated for too long discretionary spending will collapse and many, many businesses/loans/credit with it.

Rishi promised to half inflation not because he's a financial genius with a secret trick, but because he knows two things: 1) what I said above, 2) inflation is often given as a YoY measure, so by December 2023 we're measuring inflation above the 10% inflation of December last year, and the country can't afford 10% inflation per year for long either.

but ones that also have a special duty to take a long-term view.”

Nice of them to admit they don't currently care about anything but the short term. Changing the name won't change their outlook, get these utility monopolies back into government control.

Under 0.5 nukes used: 1/1000000000 Over 0.5 nukes used: 1000000000/1

No-one, not even Russia, is going to cross that line. This is a regional conflict with casualties in the tens of thousands. WW3 was a global conflict with casualties in the tens of millions.

You misunderstand. Consultants don't want to be experts in anything. Becoming an expert takes a lot of time and experience, which naturally limits the number of things you can be an expert in.

No, consultants just want to say they're experts in things. No time/experience needed, just a plucky consultant and a keyboard.

With that in mind, Accenture are experts at SAP and AI now.

There's definitely more nodes than listed there, and definitely users at those nodes.
