StarkingBarfish posted:The FT is surprisingly good at this, because they have to be objective if they want to appeal to financial analysts. There's no use in them spinning a tale because it is tested when a bunch of suits lose money. Yeah it's a great because the only negative spin they can put on it is 'this will take money from rich people' which is a) true and b) the point. They can't make hysterical claims.

Junior G-man posted:loving Christ. I feel for you man. Long commutes are one of the things I absolutely flat-out refuse to do; it's just so much dead, wasted time. Commute for my last job was only 2 hours each way but longer if you include waiting around between shift end and bus arriving. Actually if I was on the wrong shift I'd end up waiting for about 90 minutes between connections on the way home. This despite the office only being 20 miles away.

AceOfFlames posted:I realize I am alone on this but I don't think I could handle four day work weeks. There would be a lot more pressure to be productive in the shorter time and I am already bored enough on weekends. But one one side you have bosses going "How can we make our employees do all this work in less time," and on the other people going "Well what if I want to work a 60 hour week Jeremy . "

Oh hey, right on time, part II - Trotskyite spending boogaloo: FT posted:Cost soars for Labour’s grand pledge to reshape the economy Good stuff again, and I like that the FT actually debunks a number of garbage statistics about Labour's spending program that've been floating out there. That dig at Carney and the Central Bank about how much they're gonna love living in Birmingham. Such a solid plan too, put the people who act as the godlike arbiters of the Central Bank in North instead of the heart of London.

My partners commute is about 11 miles and takes about two hours, assuming the bus actually turns up. Half the time I end up just driving her in, which depending on traffic takes about 25 minutes. Boomers loudly wonder why so many younger people get shiny new cars on PCP finance, yet you’ll spend more on a train ticket and don’t even get seat half the time.

She gave it a go once with me, went down a hill at speed, crashed and took a load of skin off her forearm. It’s not a topic I’ve brought up again.

They will do that anyway though and the fiscal rule will kill any attempt to carry out a proper reform plan if Labour actually intend to abide by it. It's bizzare because we're like a decade out from anyone taking the national debt seriously

RockyB posted:On my current contract I spend three hours commuting to and from London every day. Managing to arrange a four day week and clawing back some of that time was an absolute godsend, and I recommend it to anyone. I moved further from my job mainly due to house prices and it extended my commute to an hour each way. I'm blessed to be in an industry where I could pretty much force my company to give me 2 days work from home to make it bearable. I recommend podcasts and audiobooks (you can borrow them free from your library!)

So 2 of my friends run a Crumpet Bar in Tel Aviv. Its essentially a bar selling booze, Pimm's (which is impossible to get in Israel) and crumpets with fancy toppings. Like, beef and mash and poo poo. The menu is all named for famous brits and their veggie option is called the Jeremy Corbyn.
