Why Am I Not Surprised.

"Tyler Cowen has used this as an example of why it's sometimes easier (for which read 'better') to simply ignore the law and regulation."

Astonishing that a modern capitalist should suggest such a thing, maybe he works for a renegade company like VW, Amazon et al.

Re: Welcome back, Toby

The "I want to feel good about myself" cause?

It also seems odd for you to use the word starvation in the article title, when increasing numbers of children are actually going to school feeling hungry, a consequence of contracting real wages and disappearing safety net benefits for many people in this society.

Or perhaps it's one of those dual-edged charity events that can't be criticised; Oh look I'm doing this for 'charity' so aren't I marvelous, but the subtext is "see I can live on a pound a day, so why can't poor people in this country do that, rather than just sitting around watching Jeremy Kyle all day on their huge flat-screen tellies, paid for with tax payer's money"

Doesn't matter, it's served its purpose, namely enable those in the know and in the financial sector to make a killing.

Now that peoples' pension funds have been 'invested' in the long term pig in a poke, the pump and dump merchants/bankers/internet entrepreneurs have moved on to the next big thing. Few weeks ago it was Twitter, a company with no significant revenue nor clear idea of how to make a profit.

Next month, next year it'll be some other example of irrational exuberance, thought I'm pretty sure the modus operandi of those on the inside is carefully thought out and entirely legal.

Phil Collins' daughter 'will give you A VIRUS' – security bods

armyknife

Re: Nothing the Wiser. @Army Knife

No the subject was about people being hoodwinked into installing a virus because they clicked on a link about a celebrity, I commented that I'd never heard of them, didn't care about them and by implication I'd be entirely unlikely to wish to find out more.

You however seem to have an encyclopaedic knowledge about them and the latest hyped product they starred in; in my view that's trivia, but you might be more their target audience?

Re: Nothing the Wiser.

"Lily Collins was a main character in a film called The Blind Side, I don’t know if you have heard of it, it only grossed over $300 Million, and was nominated for two Oscars, Best Picture and Best Actress, being piped to Best Picture by the Hurt Locker (deservedly so) and winning the Best Actress, as well as winning a best picture Golden Globe and a load of other awards. She was also the lead in the film Mirror Mirror, which made over $100 Million and was also Oscar nominated (all be it for Best Costume design)."

Not heard of this either, my initial response is it's another product some marketer wants me to buy, it appears to have gotten some awards handed out by people who work in that industry and have a vested interest in promoting their products.

My general approach to films is to really on word of mouth and above all the test of time, if something is still regarded as a good film 5,10 or 15 years down the line, I'll get around to watching it.

"Not saying I’m a fan of her, and I understand the attempt at the joke, but in she’s not exactly unknown,"

I wasn't a joke, I'd simple very heard of her, nor for that matter many people who appear in tabloid too.

Nothing the Wiser.

I too had never heard of this person before.

And googling left me still none the wiser.

I'm pleased to be getting older and not giving a flying something about most trivia.
