I might be entitled to a benefit, maybe. So you better give me that benefit just in case.

Apply that same reasoning to other situations.

Give the elderly disability benefit, they may be entitled, maybe not. Do it just in case.

Or to another area: you may not need antibiotics, but just have them in case you miss out on them.

Sure, you catch everyone but it costs a lot of money.

To take this to an absurd conclusion: I a 29 year old, may be entitled to a pension. I haven’t checked, or applied, but give it to me anyway, just incase I am entitled.

I get your point, but that is a principle that shouldn’t be applied. You could use the same logic to give anyone any benefit, just incase.

Good luck. Labour ran on a “Not the Tories” campaign. Which worked because of the 12 or so years of Tory madness.

I know there is a lot of “the collapse of China lol” takes but the middle income trap is a real danger.

If your country doesn’t move to a consumption based economy you’re gonna have a bad time.

It is quite common for opposition parties to not commit to raising taxes before an election.

They’ll be in “have your cake and eat it” mode until after the election.

Why is this needed when there is kurb side recycling in the UK?

I highly recommend Accursed Farms (this guy’s) YouTube channel. His content is very well made and he seems like a good person (I’ve been watching for a lot of years).

Obligatorily: YouTube is crap statement, used piped instead.
