Business, investments, technologies, current trends, and the occasional rant about politics.
That is impressive.

Why are UK News shows not pointing out Brexit has been a primary factor in the sky rocketing number of small boat crossings?
“This is Brexit Britain. We voted to take back control of our borders,” says Nigel Farage

Imagine his shock when he finds out Brexit is a primary factor in the sky rocketing number of small boat crossings

Many cities struggle to get passengers to pay for train or tram fares. India found a clever solution: it transformed train tickets into daily lottery entries, leading to a remarkable improvement in fare compliance.

Opening a UK business bank account is incredibly difficult for foreign companies, especially listed ones, as most banks only accept applications from businesses owned by their directors.

This makes setting up operations and investing in the UK even more difficult. #business #economy #Britain

In #Budapest, you can recycle bottles at #Aldi and receive money-off vouchers.

The incentive system works so well that you rarely see any rubbish in the streets.

This scheme should be available in more cities/countries around the world. #cleancities #recycle #green

In some cities, lenders would stop issuing residential #mortgages once 70% of a building's units are owned with mortgages. As a result, the remaining 30% of units become inaccessible to potential residents. #Britain

This probably requires govt intervention to change.

I like the monarchy and our traditions, but public funding needs to be capped. Most of the money should come from tourism, charities, and businesses generated by the brand.
