I will, but considering that every economic collapse in the past was only ever partial...and nothing really occurred that was too serious...I am inclined to just not care.
That's the problem with people, they always go on what has happened in the past. Then every time something NEW happens, "no-one could have seen it coming!!".
"Generals always fight the last war, especially if they have won it".
Nothing else in nature works like that, nature always over-compensates, not compensate exactly to the last highest threat.
To make it a bit more clear, natural systems always assume the next stress will be more harsh than anything before, and adapt to that stress (think weight lifting or skin calluses).
Human psychology assumes the previous highest stress is as worse as it could be, and adapts to that. Then when the inevitable higher stress arrives, they are unprepared.

What do you see in your crystal ball kwerk?
Some did, to be fair. And no one listened.
For what, an independent Scotland? Something between Romania and Lithuania.
Scotland has nothing to offer the world. All the smartest Scots left ages ago.
And even if they got to keep their oil and could defend it, they would likely just turn in to another typical corrupt "resource curse" country.
Nothing to offer?
Considering how many foreign folk come to our Universities, I beg to differ.
Oh and before you denounce that as poor, education has been our forefront commodity since the enlightenment.

Kwerk has a valid point on this and so do I.
How on earth people think that 5million people, most of whom can't seem to be bothered to work, have this never ending spending power is beyond me.
Scotland has less people than Finland, the economics simply do not work.

I'm sure you class anything south of Hadrians wall as foreign these days.
What is so hard to understand? So you're idea of planning is to look at the worst previous event and plan for that?
For example your door gets kicked in and your house is robbed, so you buy a stronger door. Then next week they bump the lock and rob you again, so you buy bump-proof locks. Then next week they smash a window and rob you again, so you buy window bars. Then next week... and so on.
Do you see the problem yet?

Yes, you aren't fixing the main problem.
Are you.
So getting guns and such, is no fixing it either.
How many will come when the universities stop being subsidized by English tax payers (and QE £s)? Or how many professors will hang around for 1/2 the pay?
He will also be declared unfit for release if it's likely he will be in danger in public. I see that as a very real possibility for the rest of his life.
Also, this thread just took a massive downhill turn. Good job guys. I love the logical fallacies that just shot out of nowhere.
