    What have you bought today?

    I pay for prime and usually search for stuff listed as prime. The dog food wasn't. Prices that way. Varies. Sometimes they are cheaper than other web sources or more or less the same. I did mostly use Prime for movies but now use another source. Looks like Prime movies and no adds costs more now.

    Panorama - The Smart Meter mess

    i visit a place now and again where the smart meter works perfectly. Can even set how many readings a day are taken. 5g ok there - others flaky. Here mine doesn't. Strange as it should be using the mobile network. No problems with that on a mobile. Reason for fitting them - easy - no need for...

    Will Trump deliver what he has promised?

    Biden threw this in which was well received. Also to slowly reduce the deficit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation_Reduction_Act Inflation - more of a long term effect. The FED do much the same as the BofE on that and when there are external causes it falls naturally eventually. Effect -...

    Panorama - The Smart Meter mess

    I was more interested in if all electrics smart meters can be switched to prepayment remotely. I'm not so sure they all can be. One comment from the web How do I know if I have a smart prepayment meter? One way to tell for definite is to look at your electricity meter. If the serial number on...

    Project 2025

    Is it possible to separate debt from Trump's changes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act LOL Sorry a lot of reading. That is in force until 1925 and 1928 in some cases. Zero to do with Biden.

    What have you bought today?

    Dog food. Looked on Amazon and found ~£52. Looked on the web ~£43. No prime offers so probably paying £52 for what the seller will sell directly for £43 including delivery.

    Panorama - The Smart Meter mess

    You can usually tell whether you have a smart prepayment meter or a conventional one by whether there is a slot for inserting a card/key. Conventional meters will have a slot, whist smart meters won't. That from British Gas. Can't say that I have seen a payment slot on either of my meters. If...

    Project 2025

    The effects may spread way wider than you think. Tariffs in particular could do that. He appears to see them as a source of income and as a trade deterrent to allow their own makers to compete with imports - where they have a maker for what ever the items are. Interesting idea but often design...

    Oh no it doesn't. I just mentions a number of state job pension funds and says nothing about how they are run. At least partially offset by natural and other types of pay rise.

    Will Trump deliver what he has promised?

    There may be another factor on his extreme appointments - assuming the senate pass them. What to do with a boat rocker - in some cases promote them to a position where they are responsible. It changes their behaviour.

    Where does it say that they aren't run by investment managers already? Interesting snippets in the link The UK's pension fund market is "incredibly fragmented", according to Helen Morrissey, pensions expert at Hargreaves Landsdown. Running these schemes costs money. Each one must pay...

    Assisted Dying bill

    Some who are against it are concerned about mission creep. Canada is used as an example. Canada’s justice minister announced plans to legalise medically assisted dying nearly a decade ago, she acknowledged the proposed law might prove divisive. “For some, medical assistance in dying will be...

    Will Trump deliver what he has promised?

    I think deporting millions of unregistered immigrants could prove to be one of his major problems. Not legal aspects just the mechanics needed. Biden has been flying some back - with agreement and I think some add on costs. Sanctions. Tricky. China obviously but if on all inflation goes up...

    No it enlarges their investment scope and allows larger amounts to be invested. I suppose coordination could achieve the same thing.
