Maybe, but trapping and growing has always been more energy efficient as opposed to hunting and they all depend on land access of course. And cycling through it while training is still expensive, I love going to the range, but it is literally burning money. There’s a good reason I still shoot .22 a fair bit, and not…

Why don’t we just let the market decide. If people weren’t okay with him being there I’m sure he would have found out pretty quick in a 100 person venue.

A coast guard cutter and some Marines in fast boats surely would have provided sufficient discouragement. Legally you can’t stop them perhaps, you can make it really difficult for them to get close and you can make their life difficult if they try i.e. inspection and boarding.

Neither of those statements are true.

Why do I need to evolve? I’m fundamentally against Slavery and Racism, that doesn’t mean I’m not also against ignorance of history. How can you learn lessons from history if you forget them.

Always feel better with facts and pointing out that comparing the US and UK in that regard isn’t entirely fair.

Is there some fact you disagree with?

Most people morals bend when it is profitable. But as in the example I gave with Germany it was more a case it wasn’t explicitly illegal at the point and general policy in the British Empire was if it was allowed in the host nation it was allowed to be exploited by the businesses of the Empire, free market at its…

To be fair the British position isn’t a sandy foundation, Britain never hid it’s role or racism in colonial past. There may be a disagreement on whether it’s something to be considered shameful or not, but it isn’t hidden.

Have you seen the price of bullets, that’s a market that’s going to collapse soon. All the worse for people not knowing that ammunition has an expiry date!

In this case it is pretty simple and no real trick, you simply need enough cash to cover you for the period it takes you to liquidate any other investments or long enough that you can tell the difference between a blip and an issue.

I don’t know about that, my main account is 2.5% and my best savings account is 1%, used to be they were about even and it was getting closer to the point where it would be better to have more cash in savings side, now though.

That is why my next big investment might actually be in land, I own property, but not the kind that you can live on.

I probably wouldn’t do gold personally, there are better commodities to be honest that are more portable.

You need a 1-2 months in accessible cash, anything beyond that you should be able to put it anywhere that is accessible within the above period, which is suitable for a lot of investment options.

Well bonds still pay out, and are a lot safer investment wise in companies and especially in governments where they are currently borrowing and the only thing that would prevent a return is total collapse of nations. As long as you are ok with a medium term investment they are a good option in unsettled times.

Not always to be fair, when things get really really tough liquidity can really be a bad idea unless it’s in physical liquid assets i.e. actual cash or metals. Remember if it sucks really hard money is as fragile as any investment as it only works with the government backing it.

Why wouldn’t you? I never got idea of why waste time transferring money constantly. I save a set amount at the start of the month and the rest of my money sits in the main account and I either spend it or shift the excess over into savings or extra mortgage payments when it gets too much.

If you can work out what the time you will need to hit your target there are low risk investment options like bonds for example. And you can still get ok rates if you are willing to lock up your money for a set period.

Why exercise in a gym when you can game and exercise in VR!
