My original #playstation that I've had since high school seems to have a failing disc drive, so I couldn't say no to this cheap find at #savers thrift store (a New England chain that I no longer have access to since I live in New York now).

It even came with a free copy of #grandtheftauto3 (more likely, an enployee at Savers forgot to check for a disc or didn't care about pulling it to sell seperately)! Sure, it's a PS2 game so it won't work on a PSX and I already have two copies of it, but why not?

Also, LOL at the #thrillkill sticker. I'm keeping that on it, for sure.

Q. who do you trust off the future of Cash ISAs?

The Tech firms & Rachel Reeves who want to reduce Cash ISA allowance to 'redirect' money into UK shares... or

Building Societies who want to see the Cash ISAs untouched.

As I've said before, those wanting savers to get into shares are looking for people to unload their shares on before the likely coming 'correction': 'encouraging' investors into shares is (n my view) highly suspect in th current circumstances.

The engine of our U.S. economy is consumption. We cannot grasp that people elsewhere deprive themselves of things they do not actually need, in order to save for other purposes, such as education or retirement. But in our unequal society most do not earn enough to have much money left after expenses -- leaving a choice between saving and consumption when there is more pressure to consume. Except for a tiny minority, we actually cannot afford our lifestyles. #economy #consumers #savers
It wasn't just the state that saved, companies did too. Shortly after the turn of the millennium, #German corporations even went from being net borrowers to net #savers

In the current climate, everywhere, union membership is more important than ever.

  • Join your local tenants' union
  • Join your workplace union (if you don't have a unionised workplace, join a general workers union as they will still be able to support you)
  • Join your local credit union

Whether there should be any reduction in the tax relief for cash ISAs is a clear test of whether Rachel Reeves sides with financial services who want them reduced to 'encourage' more people to invest in stock & shares (earning bankers more easy fees). or with consumers & others who want to retain cash ISAs as the low risk saving product preferred by people unwilling to invest in shares.

If she caves to City/bankers lobbying then she really is the LINO Chancellor.

光顧個人護理產品連鎖店竟然遭店舖「便衣保安」誤會偷竊甚至箍頸?「真係不可思議!(誠哥腔)」

若此事在英國發生,相信店方會很「大鑊」。🤔
