A friend of mine lost her dad in a care home during the first lockdown. He's the only person I know within two "degrees" from me if you know what I mean ? Then you have been fortunate indeed. As for the suggestion that Soviet starts a new thread, I agree. I think it should be called "...

Before I leave the thread can I officially ask you to start a new thread if you want to debate continue debating the economy then it doesn't clutter the Covid thread.

Technically, anyone can create their own money, getting it accepted is the tricky part. For example, I could start creating sovietmule bucks tomorrow, but how woul...

And challenge is welcome, as long as we all agree to accept when we think others are wrong I'm simply putting forward an argument and looking forward to accepting and trying to answer any questions in the best and most respectful way I can.

Why do you take my posts so personally? If you mean disagree with what you say is taking it personally then yes guilty as charged.
