Small manufacturing businesses get hammered by high rents and rates, insurance, maintenance, wages, and small volumes. I pay for example 8 dollars to get my bike cartons made in China. The same carton made locally costs £25 ex VAT. Go figure what I have to do.

Pretty much it. From ChatGPT: 1. Interaction During Wear Grease as a carrier: When plastic surfaces are lubricated with grease, any polymer wear particles (microplastics) can get trapped and suspended in the grease matrix. Grease modification: The plastic debris can thicken or stiffen the...

The most we can do in the near future is assemble from imported parts. That's how most of the world works anyway. It's rare that any country would grow an entire supply chain unless it's either agricultural or construction or extremely simple.

I did say the 20000 was the number of candidates of Nord Rhein Westphalen. The 6 AfD candidates who died are all in this state, not the whole of Germany.The vote is due next weekend. In view of their age group (59-71 year olds), their deaths are said by the police of natural causes, ie related...

The LTA (life time allowance) was abolished in 2024. In the Spring Budget of 2023, Jeremy Hunt announced the end of the Lifetime Allowance regime. He revealed that as of 6 April 2023, the LTA tax charge would be removed, and that the LTA would be completely abolished from 6 April 2024, to be...

Who would want to eliminate 6 candidates out of more than 20,000 candidates? Even then, with about 30% polling numbers, only 2 of the 6 might have succeded. Wouldn't it be better to wait another week to know which 2?

If the best you can find to support your argument is Wyoming then let's see: Current installed capacity in Wyoming: 26% of Wyoming’s electricity in 2024 came from renewables. Wyoming currently operates over 3 GW of wind capacity, with more than 9.7 GW in planning—making it second in the U.S. in...

That special scheme given to him when he stepped down from his job as chief of the CPS by the then Conservative government was made obsolete last year. He doesn't have it anymore. He's now treated like anyone else.

Wyoming is big on coal but those building AI datacentres have schemes to lessen the environmental issues. I can ask ChatGPT for you but this quick Google reply makes the point for current projects in Wyoming. New plans will have better schemes to lessen further environmental impacts. Quote...

How can you say 'notional' when you pay CGT typically more than a year after you have sold the asset? The system also lets you reclaim your losses. Compared to earned income, if you are laid off or have an accident and cannot work, you don't get back previous tax paid.

You pay tax later when you drawdown.

Pension is not tax free

Should have said separate speed sensor.

The 9pin motor cable has speed signal on the white wire, it goes to a data pin on the processor. The speed is then encoded and sent to the LCD.

Lishui controllers use external speed signal.

we can agree on that but you already knew what I meant in that context, the poor will have less disposable income than our current progressive tax system. The issue is how do we tax appropriately unearned income to bring it to closer to the higher income tax rate, 40% and 45%. Compare the years...

If you get your speed from the Hall sensors, it can't show the correct speed beyond the set speed limit because the rotor won't spin faster than the set speed limit. When the bike travels faster than set speed limit, the clutch inside the motor disengaged, that explains why your lcd shows the...

As long as their tax lawyers can remove more tax for their clients than their fees, the rich will still hire tax lawyers under any system. If you want to fight injustice, you have to curtail which income streams can be hidden, especially the use of onshore and offshore trusts and cryptos.

How so? If we have flat rate on both earned and income and unearned income, the poor are much worse off than the rich. Those who practice bartering don't have to pay anything. That system isn't fair.

Are you Awre that Groq where that guy is CEO and Grok the AI arm of X , owned mostly by Elon Musk are very different in size and influence? AI data centres are very different to traditional datacentres like those running websites, search engines, FB, Netflix, Amazon services etc. They need UPS...
