Our currency is at record low and the inflation is double digit. The tax cut is not going to compensate the depreciation of GBP. What is your plan?

We automatically get pay cuts with GBP weakening everyday. The UK is a net importer and such a weak currency is causing crazy inflation.

As long as you have a 12 month emergency fund you will be fine. What that means is 12 months worth of expenses, so food, rent/mortgage, transportation, etc. Just keep it in cash or actual bonds, not bond funds, so they can only go up and aren't at risk of crashing.

I have a fat stack of gold i started building when it was $250/oz.
Lately I’m kinda 60/35/10 on Gold/Silver/Platinum, respectively.
Gold isn’t where it should be right now, but Silver and platinum REALLY aren’t where they should be imo.
Problem with Platinum is 1: I hate paying taxes on metals, and 2: its price is so much more dependent on its industrial use.
I’m steering clear of Palladium which I see as having already partly moved to where it should be, Moreso than gold.
Silver is a bit of a gamble but either way I can’t see not at least doubling my money within a couple of years, and possibly being able to trade it for gold if the ratio drops from 1:65 down to about 1:40 or so; it all depends on what the markets end up doing.

The Euro and the Pound are going to 0 against the dollar unless the US steps in and saves Europe's ass by devaluing their currency like in 1985. Dollar milkshake is playing out almost perfectly and it will continue to suck in all wealth from the Eurozone until there is no more value left there.

The European central banks cannot continue to raise rates as a stop gap to prop up the value of their currencies as their economies are far more fucked than Americas and they are in desperate need of cash injections now, regardless of inflation, regardless of the consequences down the line. You're seeing this happen in Britain right now. Over 40% of businesses in the UK are no longer profitable due to energy costs (ignoring the effect of inflation in other areas of their business) so without money printing and programs to make up the difference their entire economy essentially ceases to function and fails within a year. So their government has printed over 5% of GDP to pay for energy and god knows how much in tax cuts in a desperate attempt to get some sort of growth to prop up the country and currency.

The eurozone cannot handle price discovery under this level of money printing. There is no industry to ramp up in order to ram prices into the floor. They only import, they don't produce nothing and everyone is fleeing. SO yes you should get into the dollar, fuck even Bitcoin as you don't want to be holding the Euro when they take the next inevitable step to prop up a failing currency; credit controls and asset seizures.

Won't be stagflation after new tax rules. Will be growth but inflation will be more difficult. Compare to EU where Germany will have recession of -3% GDP at least next year. Market is retarded.

For everyone in this thread, the idea is as follows:

1. UK devalues currency and runs a high inflation regime.

2. This makes the UK more competitive and attractive for investment, whilst simultaneously devaluing the National Debt WITHOUT having to cut public spending (which British people won't allow in general, and the government is too incompetent to do by cutting out the likes of Diversity Advisors, consolidating Local Authorities, etc)

3. The UK attracts industry and investment that previously existed/went elsewhere. E.g. From Germany due to geopolitics or South Korea due to supply chain concerns.

4. UK has growth and can manage National Debt.

This punishes the working/lower-middle classes. It's noteworthy that the US Fed is pushing ahead with (relative to RoW) aggressive rate hikes. This is because the Democrats need the votes. Also because the USA can continue to maintain a moderately high deficit for a while longer for many, many reasons. European nations do not have this alternative. They either drastically cut public spending (politically and institutionally nigh-impossible), massively increase taxation (will kill future growth and investment), continue rampant spending whilst massively hiking interest rates (The End), or allow inflation to run.

Many will suffer. But the UK could potentially come out the other side of this better than now. It's unlikely, since the government (and any waiting in the wings) and Civil Service are incompetent. But by, for example, joining NAFTA, securing energy access (foreign policy/fracking), deregulation, and commiting itself to lenient taxation, the UK COULD hoover up some of the aforementioned fleeing investment and industry. This would allow growth, jobs, and recovery.

Feel free to argue against this, but it is a workable option, and one that accepts the realities of our current situation and how incapable we are of taking drastic measures (e.g. reforming education, CS, welfare, etc).

Ja, I know. Not as much as our current inflation though.

As I alluded to (character limit), there are uncertainties in this plan. It mostly requires the RoW (less America) to do so badly that investment comes here anyway. Europe could pull a blinder and unfuck itself. China could depose Xi and become hyper-conciliatory. Who knows? The government could also help itself by cutting public spending- but, as mentioned, I don't think the country would accept it done broad brush, and the CS is too corrupt and politicians too inept for targeted reductions that wouldn't hurt the public (probably make their lives better, even).

We're getting a not great option, but we can't do what the US is doing and at least we're not doing current year Germany.

Cheaper for investing. Simple example- A dollar can buy twice as much as fifteen years ago, so it has become more attractive for American businesses to invest in UK. Imagine opening a factory at a 50% discount and 50% off salaries. Much more likely to do it.

The key point is that due to deglobalisation, the UK is now much more attractive as an option than five years ago. Reducing costs may push it near the front of the queue.

Not shitting the bed. Ie. Investment in infrastructure targeted towards supporting nimble, efficient and (actually) productive industries. Anti-corruption and cronyism drive. Focus on education.

>> No.51610304

>>51610151
A little, yes. To me, it's less bad than the other options. We've spent countless decades getting this fucked, we're not getting out of it again without pain. The property bubble has to burst, it's making it impossible for young people to have families, and pulling vast amounts of potentially productive capital out of the economy. Energy costs for now are going to happen no matter what we do. But if Germany really does kill it's industry (smashing EU consumption), and we frack, and do other things, it's recoverable. It's worth noting that we actually get basically nothing from Russia. Shitty contracts and lack of storage are what have fucked us.

My personal choice would be to massively slash the public sector at the same time as more general pro-business/industry/skilled worker initiatives (join NAFTA, deregulation, fracking/neo-colonialism to acquire natural resources, rapid education reform to push students into STEM/IT/manual skills (e.g. cancel funding for Drama BTEC, student loans for 95% of humanities students), a British equivalent to Manhattan Project to nuclearise the country and develop an accompanying skilled industry (that we used to have...), punitive policing and justice to make our cities habitable again, measures to crush rentier behaviour, etc...) and letting inflation run moderately. Unfortunately, I recognise that due to UK political zeitgeist and ruling class incompetence that isn't going to happen, and so I accept what Truss is doing.

>Anti-corruption
Yes, I too would love it if we elected a fascist and started going after those responsible for fucking the country. It's not going to happen so long as this country is a 'democracy'. We barely punish murderers anymore. You may as well wish for King Arthur to return.
>Focus on education
Like Blair? More money for, or something as vague as a 'focus on', education will do nothing but increase the number of BLM dance classes and LGBT cinemas in inner-city schools. Our current system is not capable of the needed reform. Starmer won't do it, Sunak wouldn't have done it, Corbyn wouldn't have done it. Plus, it will take a decade to pay off at the least. Not gonna help next year.

You spend so much time getting mad at me that you don't even understand my fundamental point. I don't want our current government and institutions. But I accept that they're not going anywhere anytime soon. I accept the limitations of our politicians- there is no-one 'good' waiting in the wings. I accept that I don't have a magic wand I can wave and bring back the nuclear industry, grammar schools and decent trains. And so I recognise that what the current government is attempting is the best of a bunch of shitty realistic options.

Yeah, it's a huge problem. My hope is that rising interest rates will put a limit on just how bad it can get. There's also a raft of new pro-tenant legislation coming into effect (iirc) next year.

Also, again, if if housing prices stay steady (or even rise a little), if they're being outpaced by inflation then they're devaluing in real terms. If inflation runs for a few years, it could make a huge difference.

Brits always go on about this: housing flat nominal, devalued in real terms.
Why do you think they've ramped housing over two decades? The UK can't function without constantly pulling fiat out it's ass via housing.
This bubble won't hold steady, it's either inflating or popping. There has to be pain, anything else is a story for children. The numbers aren't real.
