How governments and capital markets are dreaming themselves into wildly dysfunctional asset prices and perhaps destroying the value of money while they're at it... Dreaming Yourself Rich

Somehow, I don't think this will help. This is an actual crisis with material objects in the real world. It's time for this crowd to unwind all of the market interventions and stealth taxes and let people on the ground solve the problems with real prices to guide them.

@TimDekker18 Well, I've always been in favour of the cashless society, as well, provided I'm not one of the cashless.

@Muinchille There is no planning on this one. End hostillities and straite opens but damage will last. Win war quickly and more damage will need to be done and strait opens and damage will last or. Long conflict strait remains closed for a few years and we go net zero.

Financial market interventions won't stop oil price rises. Fiscal interventions like these may mitigate them, but there will be hard choices to come.
Either way, the "Nothing to see here, have a banana" approach of liberal European governments is dead. It's squeaky bum time.

The European Commission will propose that EU countries cut taxes on electricity and subsidize prices as a quick way to soften the energy price shock caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said reut.rs/4biWjQY

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm struggling to see the extra value here. How many copies of the same cat picture do you really need?
Of course, another way to look at this graph is that new offices are now worth sweet FA.

"Saudi light crude is already being sold to Asian buyers via its Red Sea port for around $125 a barrel. As extra oil in storage is used up, physical shortages will bite more deeply next week, causing prices to close in on $138 to $140.
By the second week of April, with no easing of the supply disruptions and the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed, the Saudi officials said they expected prices could hit $150 before stepping up to $165 and $180 in the weeks ahead."

Here's a better scan. Think of that, bringing bows to a gunfight and the Crown said the Irish were primitive. Turned out the Irish far more open to change and military innovation than Crown forces, took until 1600 for Mountjoy to copy Tyrone's reforms.

@roshbeth @soaraway99 There is a point there. Recent government decisions are part of a long-term trend of very similar decisions. Each one alone, a small cost, a little slice taken. Add them up, though, and the results are consistently, compoundly damaging. Not a question of left or right, but both.
English
@soaraway99 - the world seems full of people rushing to blame current UK Gov for everything, rather than facing facts. Not suggesting increased employer NI was the smartest move by UK Gov: but the idea that the collapse of Denby - if it happens - is down to Labour is absurd. 🙄
Alex Klaushofer@alexklaushofer
@denbypottery I'm sympathetic but given this keeps happening isn't it time we addressed the structural issues rather than treating each as an individual case? Your page mentions rising employment costs - ie NI - and energy costs. Both those are a result of recent government decisions.

@Liam15789932 Public conveniences are not lawful in Dublin. The wrong sort might thereby be convenienced, apparently.

@Muinchille Thwy could use the abandoned busses as homeless shelters or public conveniences

New concept in bus transport; take one bus as far as it will go until it runs out of charge, then wait for the next one. Repeat until you get to Cabinteely, then walk the rest...

The chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said a "serious litany of failures" led to more than 130 State-funded electric double-decker buses remaining unused because there is nowhere to charge them rte.ie/news/2026/0319…
English
@noelmarydowling Would that be because some arrogant eejit wanted to put them somewhere stupid? Because that's usually why that happens.
English
@Muinchille There is no reason to believe electric buses can’t work well. The issue here seems to that planning permission for chargers in the bus stations was refused.

@thinkdefence The political culture doesn't seem to have changed to reflect any new synthesis to cope with the divisions revealed by Brexit. The brexiters hold onto their Brexit, the remainers hope to reverse it without debate annd by stealth. That's an accident waiting to happen.

I worry more about UK energy security, resilience, and social cohesion than I do Russia or Iran. Sectarian politics, uncontrolled immigration, crime, net zero and a poor economy are this nations most significant threats
