The British are coming...with like shameless socialism in tow. 😉

To arms!


What socialism??... :unsure:

The "special relationship" that was between Regan & Thatcher convinced her that capitalism & a free market was the way to go...

So she put in place the measures to get rid of ALL the Public utilities & services companies....

So the railways, buses, gas, electric, telephone, water, post office (part of it), etc. etc. was all sold off & privatised.....

Yeah dude. This mother fucker is coming in here with that Celsius bullshit. Like, stop using such precise measurements of temperature, bro. Fuck wrong with him?

Like 1lt is a cube of 10cm x 10cm x 10cm & that 1lt of pure water at 0C is 1kg in weight?..... :unsure: :ROFLMAO:

Your fixed price utilities.

That's as god damn socialist as it gets! 🤤

& to top it all off there is a capped limit imposed by the Government, so nobody can be charged over a set amount per unit..this capped limit is set & agreed by the Private companies & the regulators...

Not bad is it???....;):censored:

I absolutely agree on this. I can’t stand the fact that we have the nerve to call ours “standard”.

I absolutely agree on this. I can’t stand the fact that we have the nerve to call ours “standard”.

Trouble is that we are still using old imperial measurements in certain circumstances as it was the EU that forced the change to metric on us in the UK...

So we still have car speedos in MPH, road markings etc are MPH

Still order a "pint" at the pub or order a "dram" of your spirit...

Most items although legal have to be sold in metric are also usually described in both metric & imperial...

Having done structural engineering & architecture, etc. at college & university I do most stuff in metric as it is more "modular"....but I know my weight in height is stones & feet/inches...& distances when mountaineering as miles...even thought ALL the UK OS grid system marked on the maps is at 1km intervals...

I can work ok with it, but a 100% change to metric in the car speedos/road signs etc would be much better......just many want to hang onto the old "mph" & pint"....it doesn't sound same when trying to order "0.56lt".....

We in the UK & Europe, who also have temps down to -23C & lower, are confused here...:unsure:

The reason is that we are trying to figure out how the biggest state (in the main group) which has loads of gas & oil, & is known for being the "Lone Star state", & "can do it all bigger & better & go it alone"......Has ended up in a situation where the power grid collapses thus forcing the whole infrastructure into a cascade failure, with vast amounts of the population of the state unable to get clean drinking water, electricity, heat, lighting, & with shops, running out of food, etc, etc...


Usually this occurs in "third world" countries with bad investment in infrastructure, corrupt Governments, greedy corporations, etc... are you saying this is you???


One item of interest on the news reports from your networks was that apparently the power companies charge more for the electricity when there is high demand, & less when there is low demand...this in reference to some woman whose electric bill was about $3,000...

Really????...😲

You see over here in the UK Thatcher privatised the utilities companies & we have numerous companies that you can buy your electricity, gas, phone, internet, etc. from. But the prices NEVER alter due to season or demand & in fact you can buy a fixed unit price on 5yr contracts.

Sounds like the USA really has gone for "extreme capitalism.".....
Hey dave tell us how great the UK is plz, thx
