The World Debt is it getting out of control

Regulations were changed so that EU approval was not required and less resources used by MHRA to review products for EU market that were no longer required, yes EMA has a clause we actioned but brexit streamlined this. If this wasnā€™t the case then why are we leading by so much. Are we just more efficient regardless?

You canā€™t compare the data itā€™s all apples and oranges and we are one of the most densely populated countries with an older population. Plus everyone has different variables, I think weā€™re handling it pretty well people that criticise of course could do a much better jobā€¦

No they really werenā€™t. The UK used the emergency authorisation process that any EU member state could have used. At least one of the Eastern EU countries had used the same procedure.

The fact that we have been slightly better organised on getting the vaccine out is absolutely nothing to do with EU membership or Brexit.

Presumably youā€™re not so keen to celebrate the fact that we top Europe in COVID cases and deaths (despite having some inherent advantages due to borders etc)ā€¦

Capitalism ainā€™t working :-/ Thats happening.
And no I am neither a socialist nor a marxist.

They really did, I said what you said.

Donā€™t talk about deaths. Do you know anything regarding human geography, demographics and the variables of data.

What does that mean? I am no native

If the US crashes the rest of the world goes down with them, look at the past financial crisis caused by the US but Iā€™m not worried about tue high growth because given our current situation the government has to stimulate the economy and cash is becoming more and more worthless so smart people convert that cash to things like stocks, real estate, precious metals or bitcoin. Think about it the US government gave itā€™s citizens 1200$ at first and there was a major lockdown how do you expect people who are bored to spend that money especially when interest rates are so low that keeping it in the bank is just a waste of time and because of the low interest rates people can afford to take more loans so thereā€™s more money to play around with especially as investing in stocks became so easy, so I think the high growth in the stock market recently is justified given our current situation but thereā€™s something called deleveraging and if the government and the fed does it well it will just lead to another 7 to 9 years of a bull market like what happens after every market crash the only difference is this was not caused by financial institutions as usual it was caused by nature or act of God if you will and it created a new trend in our lifes, just what I think though please help me if Iā€™m missing something or way off.

Socialism is no better the government should not have that much power and influence over the life of people, thereā€™s no perfect economic system though I think a mixed economic system is somehow better but people need to have freedom and the government should make sure things donā€™t get out of hand rather than the government controlling everything like a monarchy. Even china embraced a certain form of capitalism.

Socialism is diverse: communism, anarchism and social democracy (roughly). The idea that the state should control everything can only be found in communism. Anarchism rejects the state and social democracy accepts it to a certain degree.
Just saying because too many people (especially americans and britishs) donā€™t have a clue what they are talking about when they are talking about socialism. They think itā€™s communism. Not true.

I agree with you even though I wouldnā€™t qualify people investing in Bitcoin as smart :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I still donā€™t understand how they can value that crap. Itā€™s just a piece of code imoā€¦

I think the way you analyze things is pretty coherent. However nobody can predict the future so even if you are optimistic about it (which is better than being pessimistic :+1:), you should - and we should all - remain careful coz the world looks kind of fucked up right nowā€¦ I mean the stock market going up and all is nice but that is creating tremendous inequalities and social unrest. Those problems will have to be addressed at some point and the only way to do it is to take from those who have to give to those who donā€™t. What effects will it have on the stock market, I dunnoā€¦
