The problem of the “unknown knowns”: the things which politicians, bankers, civil servants and corporate leaders have “complete knowledge of, but which they deny the truth about”.

Richard restricts his exploration of this categorisation to the way money works.

Which is a shame, because there’ll be a significant subset of those people who know it’s the basis of modernity too – the denial of thermodynamic consequences

When will it dawn on Government that instead of supporting people with handouts

That they need to tackle inflation by nationalisation of services and reduce prices...

When has it been to the nations benefit that fat cat bosses get bonuses... Water bosses were going to take a million for securing money off gov to keep going .. but in keeping going they still pay shareholders

The pay inflation cycle game can be broken by controlling prices

Fair rent council houses in sufficient number breaks the escalating private rents

If gov has to spend money spend it on nationalised services, where profits are ploughed back in and not extracted

The 3.5% inflation rate just announced is due to water and energy .... Plus Gov is propping up both so we can pay more ... Madness
